Hmm, our Elkmont brakes are very quiet. We have a Tekshona Prodigy Brake controller.
When it is on the lowest setting, the trailer brakes hardly activate, and you can feel the truck rock on it's springs when you hit the brake pedal hard; the trailer is pushing the truck forward.
When you put the controller on a very high setting, the trailer seems to be pulling the truck to a stop and at extrememly high settings, the trailer brakes will lock up and you'll leave a patch of rubber when you brake.
So when you say "surging" I think your brake controller is set too low. But when you say noisy, I think it's set too high and the brakes are locking up.
Or maybe they're just not working properly and you should have somebody look at them.
