Since no one has answered I'll chime in. Every wheel is gonna be noisy. You're gonna have to accept that. Even the quietest metal wheel will be loud because of their little footsteps and the rattling of the cage.
I just recently got one of these

And I'm very happy with it. It's a great value. Very smooth rotation and little noise.
i don't think this is really an issue of wheel versus saucer, more about the particular wheel you have. my girls have a quiet chillawheel, though they don't seem to be available anymore. even with lilac's super spaztic running making the wheel wobble a bit and shaking the whole cage, everything is still securely locked in place and the wheel works just as well as the day i bought it almost two years ago. i had a flying saucer, but lilac never ran on it because she couldn't figure out how to run at an angle like the saucer requires.
Hmm yeah that's not a very good bearing for a chin wheel, hence the cheap price tag. I bet they bought the bearing off McMaster-Carr. The only advice I can give you is to possibly lube it up to reduce friction. These table bearings are generally used for an axial surface load and not for a hanging rotational load like a chin wheel.
This is the wheel I have. The bearing I believe is a repurposed skate wheel, and works really well.
