Huh. First link says hydraulic is quiet... second one says that's what they need to work on. I've been under the impression that hydraulic systems to date were objectionably noisy. Ever run a hydrostatic tractor? Hope they figure out how to quiet it down... I like the idea of hydraulic energy storage more than that of batteries, flywheels, etc..
