You could say me caen meaning "I like your friends very much, but they make a lot of noise, etc. In the "Gustar type" would mean that the person who is speaking (first person - I or me) becomes the object of caer and Tus amigos becomes the subject. Caer bien a alguien means be liked by someone. Litterally it means "they fall very well to me"

Literally, wouldn't it be "they settle...."? - chileno, Oct 27, 2013

I am not so accomplished in Spanish, so you would do well to wait for other opinions, but my guess would be "me caen": Tus amigos me caen muy bien pero, a veces, hacen mucho ruido y no me dejan dormir," which I would translate roughly as "I like your friends very well, but sometimes they make a lot of noise and don't let me sleep."

ETA: Conjugated the verb wrong on the first try. Fixed it. I think it's right now.

Some of our members more expert than me (I am still a beginner in Spanish) might weight in on this but, I think this might not be a very simple question. Caer can be a little bit tricky verb with different meanings and connotations. However, I think the conjugation in this case might be "cae."
