    400 spine is way too stiff. My advice - stick with the 500s.

    Samick's aren't the quietest horses in the stable. It is difficult to really understand what noise you are describing. making sure your bolts are tight is important. Some folks recommend putting felt in the limb socket - I've never bothered. I did use wool wraps on my string up at the endloops where the string slaps the limbs. that helps. string silencers are good to have (but I'm sure you have that covered.)

        Have you tried putting a piece of moleskin on the curve of the limb where the string touches it. You can get a slapping noise from that too.

        I would also try raising the nocking point to as much as 3/4” and see if that helps any.

        And definitely get that 2nd nocking point on your string. I would do this first!!!!!!
