I have both the wooden Trixie and the Silent Runner and I would say that the wooden one is only a tiny bit less silent. All you can hear with the wooden one is their feet pattering on the cork and sometimes a swishing as the wheel turns but it's very quiet. Definitely no louder than normal hamster noises like moving through bedding or digging.

This is a clip with sound of one of my gerbils using it:
Rocket & Storm - YouTube

I find it's a lot quieter once plastikoted because their claws don't scrabble against the cork so much and that wheel wasn't plastikoted when I took the clip.

Zooplus have a very generous returns policy. You can return anything for any reason with free return postage up to 14 days after delivery. So if it doesn't work out you won't be out of pocket at least.
