Fender PU question

Noiseless pickups are achieve by using two coils wound in opposite directions also called humbucking. They are characterized by a warm tone and hi output. Single coil pickups are generally very present sounding and bright. I can not comment specifically on the characteristic of the alloy used of the pickups you use as the subject of your post, these generalizations are are a good indication of noiseless vs single coil characteristics.
