Good point. And aluminium gears would likely run quieter too.
Along the same lines, I've got a large sprocket in the shed that I salvaged. It's made from some engineering plastic (Delrin or similar)and about 25mm thick and 1m in diameter. Wonder if that would be a suitable material to make some gears from.
