Kohler Expanse v any Cast Iron--louder?

Hi all,

I am researching for a tub for my daughters' bathroom. It will be a hall bathroom and the toilet/tub room is separated from the sinks...so looks don't count as much as something where you SEE the tub (as a focal point). What does matter is the utility of the tub for bathing AND showering as my girls are almost past age of baths.

I read a review somewhere of a cast iron tub that said that the shower was nice and quiet as the water fell on the cast iron. Now, that isn't something I'd thought about before, but makes perfect sense. We have cast iron now (and it will be going)...so I have not a lot of perspective on how acrylic "sounds"--only how loud it seems in hotel rooms.

So, for those with the Expanse, specifically, do you feel like it is a noisy shower (when the shower water is running)? This tub will be on a wall with the master bedroom.
