I just purchased JRB 11x8 Hex Spinn Tarp. Cant wait to try it out.
I took my Greylock3 on my last trip and it was awesome. I changed out the end channel cord for thin shock cord.
How loud is Spinn inthe rain?

It's not really all that much different than Sil once it is setup taut. It's noisy when you're stuffing/unstuffing it from the sack mostly.

Depends who you ask.
I've been using Spinn since about 08'. The first rain storm I spent under it, I admit that it was pretty loud. That was the last time I even noticed the noise. The brain tuned it out and it just became background noise. I have a bigger noise issue when packing it up the next morning. Anybody in camp still sleeping, won't be when I start breaking camp.
Trust nobody!
I've been using Spinn for several years also. I notice the noise only when I'm taking the tarp down.

I did a noise test on mine up against silnylon. You can hear it in this video at 7:55.
Hope it helps. Slight variance.

You'll love it. I had a similar experience to Cannibal where after the first night I didn't notice the noise with the rain.
...I thought I remember reading a while back cottage industry folks were having problems with the waterproofness/quality of spinn coming from the manufacturer. Is that not the case anymore?
I have a JRB Spinn tarp and simply love it. I know it is noisier, but I just don't mind it. It's not going to keep me awake or anything.

I think that's why some of them stopped selling spinn tarps. I can't remember the exact reason why, but you could probably find it in a search.
Added: Here is one thread briefly discussing it.
