Ours is a canvass tent too, and not as noisy on nylon tents, or other peoples! It was a very lighthearted post and sometimes a silent zip would be nice as an option??? I am very aware of disturbing other people when camping, and everything is louder in the dead of night.

Another vote to keep the zip noisy ! Mrs Z often tells me I'm a bit OTT about noise but even I don't find tthe sound of a zip disturbing. I think of it as more of a sound than a noise, & Mrs Z loves it - the zip sound I mean. .....

The zip noise is symbolic with camping, we should embrace it.
I agree - to me it is not a noise that disturbs - but an important part of camping.
