I can find quotes of people saying both. My thoughts in my previous post (more contact area) are why I believed the louder theory. I don't know what to think now?? ENGINEERS? PHYSICISTS?!? PLEASE WEIGH IN!

I think it also matter the company that machined the helical cut... I *beleive* that if the edges of the helicals are too 'sharp' they will be a little noisey till they 'wear in' ... where as they really high end helicals are softened on their edges (if that made any sense at all) part of the high pitch noise/whine of straight cuts are the super sharp edges
