The Hunt wheels I did try, and they are the noisiest rim I ever rode, so I had to return them. I guess I don't like good pawl engagement. I ride at night a lot, and the noise really sucks when you're out for peace and quiet.

I'm looking for:

1. Lightweight
2. Minimal to zero noise
3. Not garish looking logo

I might be looking for a unicorn!
Thanks
You were initially looking for just a lightweight rim. Now it seems you are looking for a full lightweight wheelset since rims dont make noise.
Call prowheelbuilder.com and tell them what you want and ask for some options. They handbuild wheels with seemingly endless combinations of hub, spoke, and rim.

Also, if you dont want the hub to make noise, dont stop pedaling. <--easy answer.
