I used to like loud hubs....then I found it was just extraneous noise, and I like the quiet. Loud hubs became synonymous with quality a while back for who knows what reason. No thank you. If I need to get a peds attention-my SpurCycle bell fills that duty just fine and gets a smile and a wave doing so.
If you want quiet hubs, Shimano are a good bet. If you want silent as in silent hubs, get Onyx--which are not only blingy but MUSA.
