There’s plenty of quieter switches, and even some silent ones if you’re that concerned. Gateron/Cherry Reds are quiet enough for most folks, but you could spend a little extra to get a board with Zealios or Zilent switches.

The article accounts for that already. The noises are more silent, but the model can still recognise the difference between various keys.
