  Funny mine was better with B-50 or B-55.....I have never had good with luck reducing noise with modern strings.....or may be my hearing is shot....lol!

If you are hearing a tink sound it is likely arrow contact. Make sure your arrow spine is ok and also that your nock set is not too low.
Your bow came with an 8 strad D97 string. They like that D97 and D10.

Sorry bout that Bill, i couldn't resist.  

Back on subject... Doesn't string noise generally relate to getting the recommended brace height too low?  I've noticed that on my bows sometimes. Sometimes the lower poundage bows need a wee bit more brace height to quiet things down.

Just a thought.... Kirk

I agree....brace can make a big difference. I like like mine a bit higher than some!

The best thing I ever did was order a string from one of our sponsors here.

Allen was a great guy to deal with and have turned my bows whisper quiet.
