Default Gear selection for less gear noise with t56?

I have been through 5 sets of 4.10 gears and just tired of gear noise. I don't mind losin a little performance if it will help keep gear noise down.
Will going to a 3.73 lower possibility of noise with a 6 speed?
Thanks in advance .

No guessing, please have experience with this if you answer.

It's a moser 12 bolt with Motove gears now. Have used strange, Richmond and the original set was Yukon.

I am going back to a Yukon gear because they are a good easy gear to set perfect and a life time warranty with free replacement but need to decide if I should try another 4.10 gear or go 3.73.
Quiet is my main goal

Who is setting up the gears? Seems like a preload / pattern issue.....

First set was Randy's ring and pinion. Then a friend of Mine who sets them up all the time. I set the last set up and had them quiet for 4 months . First trip to the track and drove home with noise. Now it's got a
Lot of slack .
