How important is a quiet bike to you?

Very, very important. I'll do everything I can to have a totally silent bike.
Very important, except for my hubs. I want a silent bike and loud hubs.
Sort of important. As long as it doesn't sound like a tin can full of rocks I'm not too concerned.
Not important. A noisy bike doesn't bother me at all.

I don't like crazy loud hubs honestly but don't complain about them as they have their benefits but anything other then a bit of cable slap from the hitting each other on my trail bike and the hub I hate lol my dirt jumpers are silent other then the hub!

I don't like screaming loud hubs but I find DT Swiss 54t ratchets(greased) to be just right. Eferything else needs to STFU! .....yes I have one of those systems installed too.

This poll doesn't have an option for "my" response: pretty important, but *especially* the hubs.

I'm deaf, so idgaf. Also, it needs to be loud enough that walkers on the trail hear me approaching.
