I shoot a 2008 Mathews DXT at 70 pounds, only thing it has is the S-Coil stabilizer, nothing on the string at all. Shot my buck this year with 11 doe's within 20 yards, including 2 under my stand. Shot and the buck ran off fast, and the doe's were all still in the same place, not spooked. I always thought it was noisy, but when a friend shot it it was actually pretty quiet. I think it really depends on the bow. Super string leech's work good, used them on my PSE. Chris

I have found this to be so true.... mine has the 'stock' Diamond hush kit and I always thought it was super loud but then heard someone else shoot it and it was much much quieter. I think having your head there makes it seem loud
Heavier arrows and a tuned bow will help you out a lot. I don't have anything on my Mathews Drenalin and shoot a 380 gr arrow which isn't heavy and it is whisper quiet. I do keep it in tune.
just keep in mind anything you add to the string, takes away on speed... I shoot a 2008 ROSS started shooting 305fps I added string silencers and slowed arrow speed down to 299, took them off and my peep, speed went to 308fps. added a peep that didnt have the tubing to align it and now shooting 306fps, so be careful what you add to string
seriously string dampners and limb dampners, but bear in mind those increase the felt recoil in the hand and alter the speed of the bow. And change teh arrow slight since it changes the harmonics of the bow.
