Not really definable on paper is it?

Like Yan mentioned a few posts ago, years ago I used a super thin chain lube, still have a bit of it, and had the same experience as Yan.
The noise of the chain bugged me after not a lot of riding, so basically had to apply it almost every day commuting.
Super clean mind you, so easy application and no excess to collect junk, but like a noisy hub or any other bike noise, I really didnt like the chain noise.

So my question to Cycco or STR, is this a factor ?
Maybe you aren't bothered by a chain sound that would bug me?
my tool is ultra silent. Onyx Vesper (love it!) hub no sound at all. Waxed chain no noise too … for now. See my post #65 here, since then I still did not cycle, touching the chain I can feel that there Is still a coat of wax on it. And I had a heavy rain day post #26. This coming weekend will be a long one, 5 days cycling, I will not touch the chain. Let’s see how the it behaves.

P.S. I was laughing a lot about friends who are waxing their chains for a longer time. you guys believe in vooodooooo, is the Silca guy your guru!? and other jokes....
I am happy and impressed by the result.
