Okay, I'll find some quiet time and try a piano patch full volume or something. I mean, my mixer is going to give me some noise, or the headphones direct, or my wife , or whatever, I'm sure. I don't think I've ever owned a synth that was completely quiet. But whatever. I suppose the bottom line is: If it bothers you, get a different synth. You have to be satisfied with your sounds or you'll constantly be stewing, regardless of what anyone else thinks.
