I looked at several pairs of gators last week. one of them are made for hunters; they are all very noisy. May be ok for sneaking around after rabbits, goats, pigs etc but far too noisy for Deer hunting. Those ones old mate is wearing in the photo with the fox are probably the best in that regard but they rely on the tight elastic around your calf to hold them up, I wouldn't want that restriction on my circulation system particularly when I'm relying on the energy in my legs to get me home.
