I'll take that noisy 3 position safety over a remmy safety anyday. It is just like any thing else hunting related. Practice, practice, practice. And if it is still to noisy disassemble it and work it over. My pre-64 makes noise and I have no idea how many times I have released the safety on it. My ruger 77 tangs make noise also. I have yet to have it bother a shot I was going to take. The only person who has ever mentioned that it was noisy was my son and law this thanksgiving when we were hunting mulies in montana and he was getting ready to shoot a good sized mulie and he was taking longer than I thought he should be. So I slipped the safety off and he later said he knew he had better shoot or I was going to.
