What's the quietest possible cube?

[Mike Hughey]

I've actually gotten used to white cubes for cubes larger than 3x3x3. But I use black for 2x2x2 and 3x3x3.

My grandpa used to work for IBM so he has a bunch of Keyresponse keyboard things...
They are SUPER loud.

yeah but see, izovire just said the cube was quiet; he never said anything about the keyboard

but David Weisiger said, that he wants a cube that he can turn, he can't turn this one without keyboard

But I can truthfully make the statement, "When the sides of a computer cube turn, the cube does not make any noise." :3

Before David Weisiger comes back in here and gets annoyed with this joking discussion, I say to him that it seems to be the general consensus that the Ghosthand is the quietest currently existing cube when it is turned

 

[Ordos_Koala]

Ghosthand is the quietest currently existing cube when it is glued

fixed no seriously, you're right, GH-I is the quitest...

 

[TheMachanga]

My GU-hong is really really quiet. I have a GhII and F-II, and my gu-hong is the quietist.

Turn with higher accuracy.

DUH!
No; ok; lol.

I think there is more of a difference in the annoyance of the sound rather than its volume.

I have a GH II 3x3x3 and a GH II 4x4x4. The 3x3x3 is very round and springy, and makes more of a rubbing sound with some clicking now and then. The 4x4x4 is a lot more squareish and sounds like a rattle trap. They are both loud when I turn them fast but the 3x3 is not a 'sharp' loudness, while the 4x4 is a sharp and annoying kind of loud.

Edit: GH = Ghost Hand

Ghost Hand II is pretty quiet if you turn it calmly

You could try turning slowly and working on lookahead when cubing with other people around. When you are at home, you can practice fast and noisy turning.
Slow and quite turning on my mini c at my old work helped me a lot.

Dude, i know how you feel
I cube all the time in class, its what gets me through french, and geo
I use my D-II right now, but if i go crazy it does make a bit of noise,
other than that, it does have that springy sound to it...
