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. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/quietest-yoyo/385502)._
