I've tryed the DT Swiss, which was very quiet but not completely silent, i really just prefer the loud hub, my trail bike you can hardly here the hub over the noise of the trail/wind, i dont think its the same without, something is just missing.
I actually run the DT240 at the moment an it is only silent a few km after regreasing. Despite much more silent than other hubs (Hope are notorious for being REALLY noisy), it still make sufficient noise to not be considered as "stealth" I guess...
@Nobble: I'd love to try that, which hubs would you say are stealth in your experience?

The Stealth brand hubs are pretty stealth as they use a one way bearing that is completely silent and offers instant engagement
