Yeah, my geared setup is a terrible noisefest compared to the singlespeed. I currently run relatively light and narrow tyres everywhere, as my hardtail has limited clearance in the chainstay setting I currently use, and I need to wear out that EXO Agressor before investing in fresh rubber. I wonder how a wider tyre works in the rear on a 23 id rim, Chris Porter of Geometron fame at some point experimented with such a setup if memory serves me right.
