I’m looking for opinions on some of the quietest rests on the market. What would be the best choice overall? I know there will be many opinions on this, I’m just looking for unbiased opinions based on first hand experiences.

Whisker biscuit is quite, depending on the arrow. G5 expert 2 and pro are probably the quietest rests that I've used

A whisker biscuit with straight fletching isn't terrible, but add a heavy helical and you are moving a lot more bristles than with the straight fletch. More bristles moving makes more noise, but I honestly don't consider the WB to be a very quiet rest, but that is only my opinion.
Of the others on the market, the Vapor Trail Gen 7 rests have always been what I considered decently quiet, but they all make some amount of noise, some being sharper then others, some being more dull or thunkish.
Which is the most quiet? That's hard to say for me.

VT Gen7x is my go-to. Easy to set up, reliable and quiet.

If quiet is what you seek the whisker biscuit is by a wide margin the quietest.... You just have to be able to out shoot ALL your buddies so then they can't make fun of you! I have yet to hear a rest that is louder than any bow I've ever shot ... so never payed too much attention to it.

Yep I have Trophy Taker Smackdown Pros on all my bows. They are simple and very quiet.

I would think the vaportrail Gen7 or Gi8 would be quieter than any of the other drop aways. Hamskea has a metal on metal contact point when the arrow rest comes down that makes noise. Ive had a couple QAD HDX rests some a quiet some arent and that seems to depend on how worn the braking system is in the unit. The vaportrail has a rubber body that the flipper arm presses up against when shot and my guess is thats the quietest of the 3 most common drop aways
I agree with this and very close second for me is the Rip cord Drive Cage micro.

I have a hha on one of my back up rigs and that thing doesn’t make a sound. If I didn’t prefer the simplicity of a limb driven rest it would be on my hunting bow
