[Help Thread] What is a quiet 3x3 cube?

[fiftyniner]

...Some 357s are silent...

Must be 357 with taichi style of turning

Once, on a bus once, I tried to turn the 357 at 1/2 tps, and already the guy in the front seat was irritated.

Yuxin Kylin shuts up OK w/some lube, but overall, a Weilong v1 is quietest, to me.

Gans 356 is quiet but it is louder than ShengShou Aurora V3. The latter being very quiet and decent cube for solving at the same time. You will be surprised how quiet it is specially after lubing it.

I have both and I needed a quiet cube to do some magic tricks to friends and family where I position the cube 4 moves away from being solved, do some "false shuffles" then hold it in a way that looks very well scrambled then I put it in a bag and solve it in 1 sec while removing it to show it magically solved itself to people

So yeah the Aurora works best.

Which of these is the most quiet and how quiet is it? Yuxin3x3, Moyu Tanglong, or Mini Aolong

 

[yjyulong]

from what I remember yuxin isn't that loud, definitely a little quieter than other cubes, TangLong is somewhat quiet and actually has a nice pleasing crisp sound, reminds me of a 357, and sorry but I have no idea about the mini aolong as I've never touched one in my life

more on topic i agree with 59er the 356 is quite quiet =)

I really like fiftyniner's description, 356 is so much quieter than the Weilong. If only it didn't lock as much...
Speaking of Weilongs, my fullsize V2 is ridiculously loud, while my Weilong mini, which is basically the exact same pieces as the V2 in a smaller mold, is about the same as the Gans 356.

People say it no longer locks with the new center caps released. Did you try them?

I haven't yet, but they are next on my list.

 

[fiftyniner]

My new caps are now with the post office...

Meanwhile I have modded the existing caps, and the lockups are reduced substantially.
[and because I have also reduced the overall size of the caps slightly, contact with the other pieces are reduced, making the cube faster :tu]

ShengShou Aurora V3

Aurora has multiple versions?

 

[YesManQ8]

Aurora has multiple versions?

I'm not an expert but that's the full name of the one I have. Never had older versions if there were any.

 

[deadcat]

Resurrecting this, any new or updated recommendations for good quiet cubes?

 

[Sion]

The Gans 356s and Gans 356s v2 are both the quietest cubes.

The 356s is faster while the 356s v2 is more controllable.

 

[Rcuber123]

The roobix one is the quietest koob I have.
I was just joking all of my cubes are really loud except for my 42 mm zanchi

 

[Daniel Lin]

I don't have a gans but from Felik's videos it sounds really quiet

My aolong v2 is pretty loud though

 

[gateway cuber]

zhanchis are quiet if
you lube them right...

What's the right way to lube for that?
