i shot 3under for a long time and there is more noise with this style. I believe its got to do with the tiller of the bow even if its tillered for 3 under. I switched to split this past winter because of the noise. However 3under works very well for a lot of folks including myself, but in time I'm glad I switched you can quite your bow with as mentioned or try limb savers they work very well. Have fun good luck.
