What is the most quiet unresponsive yoyo that is a relatively decent throw \*for 1a? I’m definitely not asking because I need a more discreet yoyo to throw while I’m in the office. 😬 ---

Every single one of my One Drops are almost dead quiet with a little lube, sometimes I can’t even tell if my Top Deck is spinning. A lot of that probably has to do with the OD flat bearings being amazing, maybe the pyramatte finish too but idk. ---

this isn’t a yoyo issue necessarily, it’s more of a bearing issue. some bearings spin more smooth than others and cause less friction noises. in my experience though, all my one drop yo-yos have been incredibly silent, and my only non onedrop silent yoyo is my cyber crash 2 since i got lucky with a godsent bearing and my gulch since i perfectly lubed it ---

Here’s an older post on this topic that I was very interested in… > [@Quietest yo-yos?](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/quietest-yo-yos/301302): > > I’ve been meaning to open a topic on this and [Mr. Smiley of the Pants](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/what-is-your-favorite-plastic-yoyo/301237/48) made me think of it again: What makes a yo-yo quiet, and how? I have a few thoughts. First, material. The material the yo-yo is made of has a big effect: Plastic is more resonant and louder than Aluminum. Delrin is a little quieter (because it is denser, I think) but still has that plastic sound to it. Hybrid plastic with metal rings is almost always the loudest there is because that adds to the resonance of plastic – see… My quietest are mostly One Drop yoyos. It’s kind of toss up depending on the bearing. A well-maintained, lightly lubed OD bearing can quiet down just about any throw, but you have to be okay with using flat bearings. NSK bearings are also supremely quiet, even when run dry. Out of my non-OD’s, the Recess Komodo is the quietest, I think because it’s so dense and the blast kinda muffles it too. ---

The rim weight they were able to pull off is kinda crazy. If you’ve never seen G2 Jake’s vids on YT where he cuts a yo-yo in half, watch the Top Deck episode! ---

Thin lube and you’re good it’s the lube that really quiets them down. You might have to deal with a bit of responsiveness for a sec but then whatever Yoyo will be quiet. Except some hybrids can be loud anyways and same thing with plastics. ---

If you have a problem with people not liking the yo-yo, maybe try blasting out some Hungarian Throat Singing full blast and say this is your new hobby… When you pull out a yo-yo instead of blasting that ear deafening noise they will love the yo-yo. To answer the question seriously, my quietest yo-yo to date was the PDX-yo Batsquatch… don’t know if you can find the bearings that they were using but it was dead silent. I could throw in the same room as the good lady and she would watch TV without “that” look of “move now or I’ll destroy you” :joy: ---
