Rebels are pretty quiet cameras as are most the cheap DSLR's. Quietness has been not that much of an issue in photography for a few decades now. If it really ever was. Its the pre flash going off several times like fireworks if you have them set wrong which much more is. And the little light helping you with your focusing if you don't have that turned off. And the fact that while everybody else in the situation is photographing the thing with the cell phones you are the only one using a real camrea - which is a real issue.
