Alkizz - hard to say without hearing it firsthand, but I can tell you that out of every piece of vinyl I've ever played on my turntable, the noisiest in general were the ones that are colored vinyl or with pictures. I've read elsewhere that that's the general consensus. Only way to be sure is to swap the title out and compare. I try my best to avoid any colored vinyl pressings or one's with anything printed.
