Coturnix noisy at night?

[HillGuy]

I've got one roo that loves to go on crowing jags in the middle of the night. He's alone right now because he was too rough on the hens.

Hi. I'm planning to get some coturnix soon. Just making more preparations. I've got some kings (in a different cage) and so very quiet. What I've read is that coturnix are noisy at night. The boys can crow. But is this because of the commotion or lights on in the house (for these other people that have jap quails)? I.E. if I close up their room (at night) so that there is little light or commotion, will the quail boy be relatively quiet and go to sleep like my king quail do?

My coturnix males have all crowed at night though they are in a dark place with little to no noises. Maybe it varies.

the males I've had have also been total jerkes to their hens. Maybe I haven't had the right guys yet, but I'd hate to be a coturnix hen!
