BBC: Plans for the world's first completely silent aircraft have been unveiled by Cambridge University engineers. Environmental campaigners and people living on flight paths have already welcomed the campaign to build the jet. Now it could become a reality some time in the next decade ... The new aircraft is basically a flying wing and would be inaudible once it left the airport.
I wish they'd design one that was quieter on the INSIDE!

typical example of PR hype...
A kite flying in a stiff breeze generates noise!
Of course they can make a quieter jet, but anything that is going to fly fast, with jet motors and a ærodynamic lifting shape will generate some audiable disturbances in the atmosphere...
