I would just tape some baseball cards to the brake stays,make sure the cards are making contact with the spokes or else it will not work.

Use the search next time, there's like 12 threads on loud hubs right now. I'm sure all of the people are like you and only care about the noise, and don't care about quality. But I'll sort of answer you're question. Most of the "nice" hubs these days are probably going to be loud, so pick a hub you like for a reason besides the noise, then go from there. I have a loud hub(Hope Pro 2 Trials) on my bike, and I'll admit I do like the noise and it's nice for people to hear me so I don't run someone over. But you get used to it pretty quickly and stop caring about how it sounds. Just my 2 cents
