Loud hubs might not save lives but they do a good job of alerting other trail/pathway users of your approach
That said, I do like the relatively silent DT Swiss hybrid hub I have on one of my mtbs. I bought it for the steel freehub body and have to say I was disappointed by how quiet it was when it arrived but it’s actually really nice to have a quieter hub.

This is the type of bullshit that came from motorcycling ‘loud pipes save lives’.
They don’t. This myth has been debunked many times over.
