What's the quietest possible cube?

I put some vaseline in my first cube and it was so gummy feeling (like if i was turning some plasticine or something slimy...) and it barely made noise except scriping of springs, but it was problem of this cube.... I DON'T recommend you to get vasseline, even thou it's quiet it actually slow down my cube and it's hard to get rid of it (at least, don't apply it on good cubes, it will probably ruin it)

I was wondering how to get the quietest cube. Like, what the quietest physical cube is, quietest lubricant, quietest tension, etc. Thanks!

I understand what you are trying to ask but since it is fairly unanimous that the original Ghosthand is the quietest cube available I mearly put forward the point that if you don't want your cube to make any noise then glueing all the pieces together would solve your noise issue.

I'm sorry that I had to explain this.

That's irrelevant to this post because it clearly states throughout that we're looking for a cube that you can turn...And if you could turn it with super glue, it would be very loud since it would be all little broken up pieces.

You do realise some of the guys here are just joking right?
I'm going with the GHII. If you turn it carefully, it's very quiet. If you're a sloppy solver it will sound more like a AK47 though...

OP: I use 30wt Shock Oil, the brand is Team Associated. The bottle says 30wt but it's actually 350cs (cs is the measurement for shock oil since brands aren't standardized for their weight system). I know Rowe uses the same brand, and uses 20, 25, or 30wt. I forget which (but you can see it in some of his youtube videos).

The thicker shock oil you use, the longer it stays on and the less you need to use (because it gets worked in). The lighter you use, the quicker it dries out and the more you need to make it "gummy." You don't really want to make a good speed cube gummy, for for your purpose, I'd say you should have the goal of making it gummy.

Mike: When did you get the GH? Last I remember, you modded two A5's to be exactly like the Haiyan Memory that you had. And also, I modded my A5 that I hated, and gave it to Spencer Thompson. I liked it a LOT better after I modded it, and I feel like I could have made it even better but I didn't want to spend more time on a cube I was just giving away :P

Quite a while ago, about the same time as the A5. It's not really all that great because it locks up often (that's its one fault), but I love how smooth and quiet it turns, so I still use it a lot. It's ideal if you don't want to disturb other people while cubing.

Yes, that's right. I don't use the white one much, though - I just use my black one. The black one doesn't turn quite as nice as the Haiyan Memory, but it's really close. The white one is almost exactly the same as the Haiyan Memory, but I don't like white 3x3x3s.

And I don't use the actual Haiyan Memory cube because it belongs to my daughter Marie. :)
 
You might try taking a look at what's causing the lockups, it might be a simple fix.

I didn't know you didn't like white cubes, I'm the same way. White just throws me off too much.
