Is the Bachmann 2-6-6-2 noisy or quiet?

I am planning to buy a 2-6-6-2 but want to install a sound decoder. I have had disappointments with other locos which proved to be so noisy that the decoder sound was drowned out. Does anyone know how noisy or quiet the 2-6-6-2 is?

The original H5's were a little noisy but not bad. The H4's are much better. Not sure you are going to get sound in the H4 tender though. It is a short vanderbilt with very little room inside.

Thanks, Skipgear. From other observations, it seems that Bachmann's heavy mountain loco, a 4-8-2 might be better than the light mountain.
