I really scratch my head about complaints about noise. only thing I can figure is the complainers have never slept on the Big Agnes pads - which have sometimes been so noisy we can hear them all the way across the campsite as the user tries to get comfortable.

Two years, no noise. No leaks either. When my NeoAir does leak, I'll just get another one. Everything has a lifespan.
