If you want quiet, stick with wet oil lubes. Paraffin/wax, PTFE, moly and other dry/dry-ish lubes I've tried all sound a bit clinky within a few miles. In this case noise doesn't seem to translate to increased friction, per Friction Facts tests. Rock 'n' Roll Gold seems to be the compromise, adding a bit of light oil to the PTFE in naphtha carrier/solvent.

A GCN video a couplafew years ago basically said the same thing.
