X2 on string supplied with that bow.
Get a good quality string and find best brace height
and your good to go.

And I'll add, be careful putting any silencing material that fills up the string grooves. They're there for a reason.

I just got a Super Grizzly and the string is 18 strand Flemish FF. MY nocks were way to tight and it was noisy. I ordered a Endless FF 14 strand. I put the new string on and set the brace height  same as the Flemish. Now the bow is quiet unless I pluck the string. I would recommend a new string and play with your brace height.

i would say try a 7 1/2 to 8" brace and some rubber cat whiskers.

My old kodiak is pretty quite like this and my grizzly is actually more quite than my longbow with just a pair of rubber whiskers on it.

Just give your string a few twists to shorten it up to increase the brace height or a few twists the other way to loosen it and decrease brace height.  I'ts a bit of a learning process but after a while you will figure out how many twists are needed. I try to work in 1/8th" increments when playing with the brace.

I agree with getting a new string first, then go from there with the tuning advice you've been given here.
