I have heard that the Firestorm Lite is very hard to quite down. I have had very good luck with Fred Bear bows.

I have a bow in my possession at the moment that is very similar to the Firestorm lite. It is actually relatively quiet in the big scheme of things. Alot of reflex in the riser though.

I am also shooting the older (1 cam) Firestorm and it leaves nothing to be desired. Very compact, fast, light and more accurate then myself. In regards to the noise I don't think it is very loud, the deer don't jump it and it is quieter than the bows of those I hunt with, but I also haven't shot many bows to compare it too. It doesn't seem you can go wrong with either.
