Default Whats the difference between Mineral and synthetic oils?

I used to have duckhams 10-40w in my car for running in oil, than as soon as i changed to 15-50w silkolene Pro-R, its been so much louder then before.

I was thinking about ditching the Pro-R, and trying another oil, maybe to mineral again.

What are peoples opinions?

Should i try a different brand of Fully synthetic, or what?

Engine has brand new lifters, rings etc.

Do they lubricate differently at all?
