Reds and Browns are both loud if you type heavily and bottom out all the time. If not then either one sounds like it would work for you. I would recommend brown over red, because I think red feels horrible. To me reds suck for gaming(blacks are better to me), and they suck for typing(for me any tactile switch would be better), but you really need to try both to decide. Asking people to explain how keyboards feel over the internet is like describing the difference between the color blue and red to a blind person. You might be able to give them a general idea, but they would need to acquire eyesight to actually decide on a favorite color. Go to an electronics store like Fry's or whatever is the equivalent wherever you live, and just type on a few keyboards. Mechanical keyboards are everywhere these days, it shouldn't be too difficult to find a brick and mortar to try them out. You might correctly agree with my opinion after trying out different boards, or you might correctly disagree, it's all subjective.
