Yes, the hydraulics that run the loader and compactor make a lot of noise. I think you’d need to go to some type of electric screw mechanisms to be really quiet.
But that’s a whole ‘nother engineering project.

some place in the “silicon valley” with a huge tax base will likely be the first to give that a try

Hydraulics are actually pretty quiet in and of themselves. The noise comes from having to "surge" the diesel to power the hydraulic pump. With the hydraulic pump run by an electric motor, noise level should drop significantly.
