Static Limb Recurves Quiet - Really?

[LV2HUNT]

The quietest recurve I ever heard or shot was an Assenheimer which I believe was static. It was not as quiet as some of the longbows I have heard or owned. The quietest bow I have ever heard was a Leon Stewart R/D longbow.

gil--can you bring me up to speed on heterodyning?
this is what I got when I googled the term---

-----Heterodyning is a radio signal processing technique invented in 1901 by Canadian inventor-engineer Reginald Fessenden, in which new frequencies are created by combining or mixing two frequencies.[

I bet if you have 4 guys standing 8-10 yds behind you or off to the side, they will tell you how quiet your bow is. The snapping of the limbs upon release are very close to your ears.

I thought my Stealth was a tad "snappy" until my buddies commented how quiet the bow was.
