I loved quiet FWs so much that I used to overload them with grease to silence them up. I quit doing that when I noticed that it can hang up the pawls in some FWs with weaker pawl springs.
Still, as already mentioned, some FWs are quite than others, out of the box, like some by Regina.
Maillards are usually quite loud, unless you get enough grease in them, but they are nice because they are mostly bullet proof. They are like the AK47's of the FW world, not perfect, not so pretty in some cases, but dependable, at least that's been my experience with them.
