It is not the motor that makes noise, there is two things:
Surron have two stage gear reduction, here you have extra noise and then you have a huge sprocket on the hub motor in Vortex. Chain on small sprockets makes more noise than on big ones because of the higher chain speed.
Yes, but no. There is noise from both the motor and the chain/belt-drive. About 50/50 I would say. That sur-ron motor screams compared to a typical direct drive hub motor. It is the difference between normal people staring at your bike or not.
