This is my first tracker, haven't had the chance to vet it on the water yet but walking around on it on the trailer its not loud at all. If you dropped something I think that would make a good amount of noise. So what I'm goin to do for the center of the boat on the floor instead of cutting more plywood and doing more carpet I'm going to buy the rubber floor mats with holes you can buy at Lowes or home depot pretty cheap. It dampens almost all sound comfortable to stand on and if the boat puddles up you wont be standing in water, and if you drop a lure/rod empty beer can etc. It wont make any noise.
