I had two Canon 430ex and a Canon 90ex (wireless master), and I sold themafter I bought an Aperlite YH-700c. Its a more powerful flash with much quieter & faster recharge time: my canon 430ex makes an annoying high-pitch sound recharging between shots.

What I LOVE about the YH-700C is the ease-of-use. I never did read the Manual, I just pop the camera into my hotshoe and everything works. Want High-Speed-Sync, no problem. Wireless flash with Aperlite is also super-easy: press zoom button once, then up/down arrow, select Wireless slaves and you're good to go. You do need a cheap Wireless Master (like 90ex) if you want to try wireless flash.

I love wireless flash setup. Avoid mounting Big/Heavy flash ontop of my camera is liberating. I love the new freedom of movement and flexibility that wireless flash provides. Once you gone wireleess, its hard to go back to using hotshoe.

i cant hear my 430ex II

We're talking about 2 different flashes.  The original Canon 430ex has a very LOUD recharge sound.  The II fix this problem.
