IMO is that the fletching will make more noise than the broadhead,UNLESS you have them mounted ill-aligned.

If they are making noise or whistling, put them to a spin test.  Vented or non-vented, either one should fly quietly. Alignment is critical.

Exactly! Some make a lot more than other though, even when perfectly aligned....

 Now do I let it bother me that my Snuffers hiss a little....no way!  They're deadly!!
