The single greatest factor in noise for that sort of thing seems to be moisture. Actual sliding is a matter of balance, distributing weight evenly across the bearing surface so it's easier to break static friction all at once.
Are you saying more moisture causes sound, or less?
There's an optimum amount of moisture which produces maximum squeaking.
Certainly. What is it? Also, more importantly, what is the optimal amount of moisture that produces minimum squeaking?
Unfortunately I don't have hard numbers available, just informal observations of high school students with boots goofing around after coming inside on rainy days.
Shazbot. Some experimentation is called for. I recently did something similar but not quite as impressive on a freshly waxed(?) floor, and it worked fairly well with no noise.
