EAI runs silent for me, as does cheap KMC chains. It's a matter of breaking in the drivetrain, than you're fine.
With all due respect, I think we must have different standards for "silent" -- or perhaps you've never exerienced the Izumi V with a tuned cog. I personally have
never seen a quiet running KMC chain, and in my past life as a track coach I have been around perhaps more than a thousand track bikes. Of course, just because
I haven't seen something doesn't mean it's never happened, but IMO the odds
are getting a bit steep.
If it works for you, of course...
