do these hooks slide quietly over the rod? (trying to find a replacement for current hooks which make an ungodly sound when they slide over the rod)

I actually had to go into my bathroom and slide the shower curtain open to answer your question because I've never noticed the sound when I slide them back and forth. They do, of course, make a sound, but it's not loud and they move back and forth very smoothly.

They are for the most part smooth, with maybe just a swoosh sound if you pull them fast. Hope this helped.

Well u can hear metal - so I guess no they r not quiet! They r just like the ones at most hotels.

My experience has been no. I have a standard and threaded bar. They are awesome on the standard bar, however they are loose on the threaded bar.

No. I haven't had any issues with them sliding. I am using them in wrought iron furniture.

I had a similar idea for hanging mine, and spent a lot of time walking the aisles at Home Depot for ideas. In the end I hung it in a less desirable location where the opening was flush. I used ikea window curtain hanging hardware and rods because that's what I had on hand. It is far from ideal, but it does ok at dampening the noise and is reasonably easy to pull up from a lower part of one side and hook to a hole on the other side. Can't really slide it open because it's too thick. The trickiest thing I have found is trying to find ways to get it to be as flush with the wall as possible, because that's what will make the biggest difference for noise. I have yet to find a good way to hang it (I have one over a hallway opening, and another over a window) that is both easily moveable when needed but also holds it up against the wall so that there is a seal. I guess that isn't an answer other than to say that it is not easy to work with these or hang them.... But certainly worth it for what it is. It is the best non-permanent sound dampening thing I have found.

They are metal so if you have a low quality/painted shower curtain rod, they will scratch the bar. No more so than other metal shower curtain rings though. You would need hooks with balls on the top to prevent scratching. They don't get stuck or overlap each other if you're using a traditional shower curtain (which has individual holes for each hook). I've used these hooks for other Pinterest-y projects (a tie rack and belt rack) and they can get tangled up and clank a little in that case but never saw this or heard any excessive noise when using them with my actual shower curtain. These are just very basic but very sturdy hooks and with 50, you'll never run out.

I put all of them on the rod first, then I added the curtain. I had a little trouble closing them back up, but I have bad grip in my hands. I think they are well worth it. Hope this helps.

I'm sorry but I have no idea. It definitely does make that sound. Maybe try plastic hooks??

I'm not sure about that. ARe the edges smooth? If so I'd be concerned that the hooks might slide.

No, they do not make noise. They are made out of material, not plastic like the disposable ones.

Yep. They fit over my shower rod with enough wiggle room to move freely when opening and closing a curtain. I believe my shower rod is 1" diameter (standard size).

Yes they do, though I notice sometimes I have to push it down. Overall, if you're debating on whether or not to purchase them--do it. They're a great addition. I love mine.

You can adjust it so that they are actually gliding, but ours made a horribly loud noise when you adjust it to glide and would sometimes slip back into the other settings.

Just got mine and they don't fit the rod. Other hangers fit just fine, so not sure why these don't. I have compared them to my other hangers, and it appears that the rounded part is fine; it's the end that is "pulled" in too much to fit on the dowel. I'm hoping that I can bend them or something.

Not well at all. They rest on the bar, no need to slide on from the end. They also often drop off the bar when you go to lift a utensil off of it's hook.

No, Not at all they have heavy duty metal hooks with a black coating that are non slip! I love this laundry helper!! I wish I had it when my kids were growing up!

The same as the non-swivel hooks. They are all simply slid into place from above and gravity keeps them in place. The tops of each hook is larger than the spacer-controlled gap between the two wood bars. All the hooks just slip between the bars from the top. The hooks extend below the bars, there is a flat part that goes between the bars, and above the bars is each hook's round top, much larger than the gap, that keeps the hook from passing through and falling out. Simplicity itself. The hooks are completely moveable along the length of the bars and you can put the swivel hooks anywhere you want. A picture is worth a thousand words, so I hope this written description is comprehensible! The same as the non-swivel hooks.
