General question: Which is more noisy: Buck or boost?

I have a general question, which is more noisy, buck or boost converter?

My understanding is the Buck converter has a ON-OFF input current so Buck can be more noisy compared to Boost converter. Is this correct?

Thank you.

    It depends on what you mean by noisy. Yes, the input current to a buck is discontinuous, but the output current is continuous. The opposite is true of a boost.

    What input voltage, output voltage, and output current do you need? This determines whether you need a buck or boost.
