Try a sram force axs 12 chain. You might be surprised how quiet it is. Choice of chain lube matters too. Really dry stuff can be noisy. I still like my home made liquid paraffin wax lube. Sram axs chains have a light oil on them from the factory, not the common sticky stuff. I still remove it apply my own lube.
Just reporting what I’ve experienced. Yes, smallest 3 sprockets only. But the noise wasn’t there to begin with.
