If you get good at it, the Lee loader is not all that different in speed compared to loading on a SS press. Check out youtube. Then time yourself on a SS press. Most people don't load any much faster, on average, than the fastest Lee loaders!
But I agree with the noise factor. All that whacking and keeping track of so many things would get tiresome pretty fast.
