You'll notice the bottle will specifically say LL-01 on it.
What exactly do you mean by noisy?

It really is. You can read up all you want about how to please a woman, you can look at all the diagrams in the world, but just like the clitoris, you won't know what the hell an apex is before you actually find it.
