Be forewarned, that the "best" position in the short haul, is not always the "best" position for the long haul. I raise this point, because, short term a lower noise often feels "better". But, this can lead to a slight tendency to slide forward on the seat which puts additional pressure on the hands and can lead to numb or sore hands on longer rides.

If you have access to a spirit level, I recommend you start by placing a book or ruler across the length of the saddle and adjusting it until the nose is level to a maximum of 6mm down, as a "starting" point. Ride that "a bit". Generally speaking your nose shouldn't end up down by more than 8-10mm max, when used in conjunction with only moderate or less bar drop. If the saddle is in that starting area, you should be able to tolerate a reasonable ride (10-20 miles).

Best of luck. I hope you bum comes to grips as quickly as possible with your desire to cycle.
