While never having to shoot in such quiet circumstances, I have to agree that in practice the M8 is not a particular loud camera. I've never found it to be a problem. The thing is that most DSLRs aren't that loud anymore either (except when the motor drive kicks in--at press conferences it sounds like a room full of sewing machines sometimes) and one of the classic advantages of the M system isn't so unique anymore.
