Playable Na'khul ships are too noisy

To get further in completing my Tier 6 Science Vessel collection, I considered getting the new Na'Khul Science Vessel. But to spare me buyer's remorse, I tried it first on Tribble (which still required buying it on Holodeck first, since it's currently not in the Tribble Lobi store). I found out that while it flies nicely and is very maneuverable (and battle cloak on science vessels is rare, ony the Rom Dyson Destroyers could do that before, and of course you can kinda fake the Science Vessel part on a Bird of Prey) and all - it's also extremely loud. The ship has a constant background sound that just turned me off. 
I guess I won't unpack it on Holodeck and sell it on the Exchange in the end.

As a Science Vessel, it's certainly excellent, and it plays more traditional than the Paradox or the Annorax. The one thing I can't get used to with those two is their low turn rate. But that's what makes them Dreadnaughts (and the exra weapon and the hangar bay), I suppose. Anyway, the Na'Khul Science Vessel competes with the Scryer in turn rate, and thus it's top notch in that regard. But the Annorax and Paradox are not as noisy.
I'd hang on to it anyways in case more people report this same problem and they fix it - it is a cross-faction lobi ship after all and not some KDF C-Store one, so there may be hope yet. Pricing on it has never dropped below 199M either that I've seen and it's still regarded as underpriced, so so much for the replies claiming no one will care for battlecloak while Cryptic boxes up KDF & Klingon factions in boxes and lobi stores. At this rate of power creep and balance neglect I'm fully expecting future science KDF & Rom to come with built-in enhanced battle cloak, but I digress.
I think some deflector noises might be just as loud, assimilated stuff makes a fair bit of noise.
Honestly I only really hear it when zoomed right in to my ship.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
3 solid options now... this noisy one, the paradox, and the anniversary are all very good. Im using paradox... its hard to argue against another weapon slot as a romulan.
If only we had a shield with blue visuals...
Try the Nukara (Tholian) shield.
You can actually hear the same sound when you approach one of those Na'Khul Red Alerts. The closer you are to your ship, the louder it is. I like to look at my ship from up close, so it's loud. If you zoom out for better situational awareness in combat, it might not be a such big deal.
Has anyone tested this yet?
Nobody cares about your opinion.
At least they offered alternatives to the ships being discussed, and since the topic is about them being too loud, they are actually on topic.
Your post, on the other hand, offers no input to the discussion.
Guess whose opinion I value less right now? Hint: It isn't necessarily not yours.
there is a noise, louder as you zoom in closer, it's not that annoying as some make it out, can kinda think of it as a soft thrum.
in battle you don't even really hear it over everything else going off
