Been told on here that profile are bad hubs for the price and I've been thinking about what other hub to buy that is loud and sell in polished.

Why does the sound change your thought on buying the hub? if you want quality go for odyssey or Gsport

Get a Tree. Makes for the stiffest, strongest wheel, plus it's really easy to lace. It has driver bushings so no bearings to worry about, plus it uses really nice Enduro bearings so it's really smooth. Comes in at only 14 ounces. There's a few other benefits to the design that I'm too lazy to mention haha.

Youre an idiot if youre basing your opinion on sound.
Luckily for you, Shadow Raptors are extremely loud AND strong.

Profile hubs are expensive because they are expensive to make. They are made by a small company, one at a time, in the US where they pay there employees a decent wage. When you you buy any of there parts you can be proud to support a company that's been doing a lot for BMX for a long time.
They are definitely some of the nicer hubs out there and if you maintain them they will last a long time. Another great thing about them is that Profile makes all of the replacement parts so they are super easy to rebuild. Also, you need to use common sense, like not using pegs on a Profile Elite, and using the proper hub guards.

Edited Date/Time:
My G-sport was louder than two of my friends Profiles. You shouldn't do this, but fuck with the springs and there yah' go. I got a new driver no so long ago and I didn't mess with it so it's not as loud anymore, but it can be.
But like the others said, seriously, if you're going to buy a hub only because it's loud, you shouldn't even be biking. I hate to be negative but let's get real here.

If you want a loud hub just take your driver out of your hub and put a handful of sand in their then put the driver back together then bam your set loud as fuck that'll be your best option

Wanna know how to make your hub really loud, take every single possible bit of grease and throw some of those fire cracker things you throw at the ground, jam the driver back in and just let it rip... simple as that.

You can always make your hub louder by adding an extra spring to your driver or taking some grease off of it. There are some vids on YouTube.
If your gunna just get a new hub, remember that its yours and you can have it as loud as you want
