Significantly louder than the XX1?
Not ridden with XX1, only with Shimano 11-46 unfortunately.
If I can hear the reverb of the chain jumping to the smaller sprocket...
Are you gonna go for those bib shifter for climbing?
Never used an XX1 cassette, but the X-Glide cassettes are bloody noisy. Not quite a noisy as the old Powerdome ones, as I think the extra machining helps reduce the echo-chamber effect, but much, much noisier than a Shimano cassette.
