the way I look at it.The more speed you have coming from a bow you are going to have more vibration coming from it , along with hand shock etc etc. I personally would much have a bow that is quiet and nice to shoot than have one that has a tomuch noise.

Thank you. A quiet bow is by far more efficient in a real hunting scenario.

Honestly if your shooting a bow that has arrow speeds of atleast 220 fps, you shouldnt have problems if its loud. If your shootin 300 fps and your bow is loud, by the time the deer hears it, he'll have an arrow through him anyways. That is if you are accurate

Not true. Sound travels at about 1,100 feet per second. If your bow shoots 300 fps, the sound your bow makes gets to the deer almost 4 times faster than the arrow. How important is that 3 or 4 fps saved by getting rid of your peep now? Not very....

The louder the noise, the more likely the deer will react to it.
