I've ticked other because I've had three silent wheels and really not much difference in how silent they all are! My "other" is the Karlie Flamingo wheel. This was the first cork version of the Karlie Wonderland wheel - the first silent wood wheel I believe. It looks identical to the Trixie cork wood wheel but the quality control is much better on the Karlie version (but it also costs a bit more). I had that for our last Syrian.

I've also had the silent runner and the 21cm rodipet cork wheel and both are silent.

I wouldn't call any Wodent wheels silent though! Quiet maybe, but they can develop a squeak and they don't spin nearly as well as the others mentioned.

This is the Karlie Flamingo. It's gone up in price since I last bought mine, so not great value - but silent. Like the Trixie wheel, they're not as long lasting as other silent wheels though - usual thing is they end up tipped forwards on the bearings and the wheel rubs against the stand eventually - and not fixable.

Edit - I've also got the Carolina Storm Wheel (not the Express version). It's silent on its stand, but not when attached to bars! But I don't find it big enough and a bit slithery - prefer the cork wheels.
