Out of the two types that I used on my bow ( vibracheck and Sims) The Sims string leech seemed quieter. I've also used toranchulas and the ruber spiders (not sure what they're called). The Sims seems to be my Fav. But I think I might look into a string suppressor. Either a MeanV or the string tamer jr. When I get some extra doe.

Wow! Last night I was just thinking about not putting on any silencers and shooting my Ally with only the MeanV suppressor on it. Then I log on and here is this thread. Thanks for input Muzzyman and all. If I do not need any silencers on the string it would make me happy. I also am considering doing away with the kisser button too. And if I can get away with it, I would like to do away with the peep but I think that is more wishful thinking than reality.

Illusion Hunter, I think you would like the Meanv suppressor. I like mine.

Illusion Hunter, honestly, if you're going to put a suppressor on, don't even think about it, just get a MeanV. His are custom sized to your bow and will look like it came from the factory like that. I love mine.

N2D, I did away with a kisser a long time ago. For me, it was more dead weight on the string I didn't need. What I did was tie a nock set with serving thread on the string right where my nose hits it. It's lighter and give me a bit more reference. What I found was it works better for hunting. I sometimes wore a facemask that covers my mouth...so....a kisser just didn't give me the feel I was looking for. But my beek isn't covered by the mask and I have a consistant spot to hit each time.
