Years ago there was a protocol when taking Golf Pro's at the Tee. "Don't shoot, till the 'Follow Through"' Any Pro' photographer who 'jumped the gun' would get black looks from fellow photographers, and possible verbals from the golfer.
Golfers are Marys. You have a baseball player at home plate and someone is throwing a ball at them at 80-100MPH and people are screaming and howling. The same for football teams all these guys perform in a constantly noisy environment.

These are pros needing top quality photos.
Mirrorless issues that they can't live with that their pro cameras from Canon and Nikon don't have.
1. Posterization in Compressed RAW Files. Green compression blocks in between white and black pixels.
2. Electronic Shutter Banding: Banding shows up under certain lighting when using the electronic shutter.
There are others but these preclude professional use of mirrorless until Canon solves these for everyone else seeing as we are in 4th generation FF mirrorless and it still hasn't been solved.

It's been normal ever since the Nikon F was introduced. If it were actually a problem, it would have been addressed long ago.

I really LIKE that so called noise. Remember those old days and all those motor drives, just whirring away. Also a nice sound. The new mirrorless camera and those with leaf shutters make very little sound - quite stealthy which is OK. The only real problems with the moving mirror is some vibration (bad) and the increased probability failure (stuck mirror) but this system seems to work well. It is time proven. But that now familiar cluthunk sound - I like it!!!!!

The DSLR operation noise provides an audible feedback to the photographer and to others. This noise has this purpose if no other.
Silent DSLR operation has its uses: Museums, church weddings, golf games, wildlife shooting, and so on.

There have been noise quieting blimps for exactly this purpose for years (and they used to be used for golf tournaments due to the links being a much quieter place than a football field) like this one: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1334667-REG/camera_muzzle_muz_001_sound_muffling_enclosure_for.html but it strikes me that the additional drama that familiar noise creates is something desired by everyone in the room - it makes them sound more important.

Some SLRS and DSLRs are noisier than others.
If you really want a quiet shutter, there are many great cameras with leaf shutters--
the Leica rangefinder has already been mention. And. old large format press cameras
had leaf shutters.

The Leica rangefinder cameras used by the press had focal plane shutters.
At a former job, I used to use an M4 with a 35, 50 and I think a 90.
Loved it!
If you all read my post on the first page of this thread, you would know why it sounds so loud at press conferences.

My MPP Micro-Press 5x4 camera has lenses with leaf shutters, also a focal plane shutter, up to 1/1000 second.. Now, that is what you would call LOUD!!!
Just fired it off a couple of times... Did you hear it in the USA. ?

Easy solution: Shoot video.
Almost every camera these days shoots 4k video. Each image grab from a 4K video is 8.8 Megapixels.

Without the noise, the person won't know if he/she is even being photographed. It might damage his/her self-esteem...

Believe the press that I see has a lot of really good Canon and Nikon gear.
And like the giant cameras at sports events a lot of investment in gear.
The still guys and some of the DSLR guys are shooting video and stills
with these setups. I also think the sound the shot might help the news
shooter. I have Sony's which have a silent mode. This works for me.
What I find is strange is the way the photographers sit on the floor
and encroach on hearings. The attack on people walking halls
etc etc.
