It’s a bit like people thinking that electric cars are “silent” - they might be at very slow speeds, but at cruising speed they are barely any quieter than combustion engined cars as most of what you hear is road noise.
They're likely only referring to forward flight noise comparisons.
If truly "V" TOL then they're just as likely to be as noisy in the hover.
