Some are more quiet than others but all are noisier than stock. I have only run Jim's and SE rollers, same thing; however, I understand that Crane rollers are less noisy but cannot testify to that as I have not run them.
Unless lift is greater than .600", you are wasting money on rollers. Rollers sound like a sewing machine on steroids. I run .600" lift cams in my all bore 107" '02 FLHT with OEM rockers because the Jim's roller rockers I was running made more noise.

Less friction, that's a plus
More accurate valve timing, that would have to be a good thing.
I just don't understand what makes roller rockers noisey?

It's your money, buy whatever you want but, as I said previously, you gain nothing in the way of performance that can be measured by investing in roller rockers. However, they will make more noise than the OEM rockers. Why? I can't answer that but having run them in my own bikes and installing them in others, I can tell you that they will make more noise than the OEM rockers. Heck, you might even like the noise for all I know; your ride, you decide. JMHO.
