I've noticed that as a string gets twisted it makes a difference in noise and vibration.

Once you get to much twist, absolutely they do.
That gets back to what I said about them acting like a retention spring.
Because they are springy, they don't stop moving as quickly, they don't stop the limbs from moving as quickly, and they allow more after the shot travel past brace of the limbs. All of which equates to more noise, less stability, and degraded performance.
Performance will actually start to degrade some beyond 1.5 twist per inch, but it isn't enough for most to notice it. Once you get to the 2.5 to 3 twists per inch & beyond, then the string starts acting like a retention coil spring, and the degrading of the performance becomes more noticeable.
It isn't a real big deal as far as structural integrity is concerned, unless the string is twisted so much that it coils back & kinks up on itself when relaxed, then you've got a problem, and a string destine to break eventually.
Damian, if your string isn't kinking up when you relax it, don't worry about it. For now.

It doesn't coil back on itself.
I took a video of me shooting, but no clue how to post it. Bow sounds very quiet. Arrows were almost touching from 5, 25, and 20+. Although shooting in the dark is not that easy.
BTW Rick I didn't know exactly how to change the brace height, so I added some twists of the string. Don't know if this was good or bad, but that's what I did.

If you look there is one strand of black twisted around the orange. So, if you use that as a reference, then I don't even have one twist in one inch. But, that may not be how you do it!
Having a former Oly Archer as a friend is a valuable resource.
Let him help you all he is willing to do.
If the arrows are tuning & shooting well, and the bow is quiet, don't change the brace height.

Thanks, I meant to ask him, but we were walking into his house for some eggs. And , well, eggs won! Lol
Shot a doe (MLD) that morning then shot the bow and figured out the arrows. It was a great day. As soon as I get the tips and broafheads and some more practice, we are going to chase some pigs on his lease. Hoping to get some kills under my belt. Build my confidence.
