Quietest hang on stand?

Which hang-on stands are worth money in being very well built and quiet? I realize this is a saddle sight, but some of us still need a hang-on in some scenarios. Thanks

I think I always think of this site as more of the saddle that is worn and the way you climb and what you put your feet as another story in itself.
 
There have been a couple different posts about the Beast stand squeaking.
See post 55.

Poll - Do you think you'll be more or less successful this year over last?

I'm going say that I will be more successful this year. I only say that because I am starting to have a better understanding " or so I think" of how I should be approaching things in the preseason, during season and post season. Now does that mean that I can say without doubt that I will harvest...

After decades of use, my loc on limit. I still use it occasionally as a platform. I just replaced the whoopie sling with 3/8" amsteel.

Mine hasn’t made a peep. 15 or so sets. But it doesn’t have metal on straps or cables.

For context though, I’ve never had a stand that I owned knowingly make a noise that cost me a chance at an animal. Summit climber and lone wolf assault included.

You are the variable. Not the stand.
 
I had a beast stand. Loved the size and weight but the bracket made a popping noise when I shifted my weight. It didn’t do it all the time but it was enough to make me sell it. Just couldn’t take a chance on spooking a buck. That was with the updated bracket too. If they ever get that fixed I’ll likely buy another one.
 
I used the beast stand alot last season, I only had one issue with noise and I think it was due to over camming but not positive
 
XOP Vanish is light wt. and has never made any noise for me. My saddle is pretty quiet also.....
