New string, set at 8 BH and 5/8 nock height.  Significantly noiser than anything else I shoot?  Am going to replace old string silencers with Hush Puppy's, hopefully that will help.  Open to any suggestions??

That should help alot, but honestly I haven't found a Curve that will ever be to my liking {noise wise} ... And I've played with it ALL ... Good Luck ...

What are the specs on the bow, length, poundage, arrow type and weight, up front weight, your draw length?

My Dale Dye shoots quietest at a BH of 7 1/2 to 7 3/4.  Anything outside of that and it gets pretty noisy.  (measured from the throat of the grip)

My 64" is as quiet as any longbow I have shot. I have a set of Bow Hush's on it and some wool silencers on a dacron string. My brace height is set at 8 inches. Mine had some noise from the string slapping the limb and the Bow Hush's cured that.

Too much BH. Bring it down to 7.5" and fine tune from there.

I do have some bow hush's on order and will try bringing the brace height down.

Use Navajo String Silencers. They really work.

Jim Neaves at Centaur Archery has them.
