Noisy Wiper Blades

What brand of wiper blades offers a nice combination of effectiveness and relative quiet?
The ones I'm running now work well but make a lot of noise! (Don't remember the brand.)

I have a set of PIAA Silicones on my R53. They work very well and are virtually silent. Price was reasonable too.

Bosch. The dealer ones suck and suck bad. Try so olive oil that seems to quite them down fo a little bit.

I replaced mine with rain-x wipers and they work very well. I've used other inexpensive brands and they all work better than what came on the car.

I use NeoForms on my MCS: http://bit.ly/b6RiY4 Not only do they wipe well, but the aerodynamic design keeps them from bouncing around on the windsheild to at least 130 MPH (track tested ).
