My theory is that the sound is in proportion to the amount of effort
needed to make apparation/disapparation happen. 

The twins make a great deal of noise when the appear and disappear
because they are new at it and they are giving it an extra effort
because they like the loud noise and they like showing off.

Dumbledore and Voldemort on the other hand appear and disappear with
noise that's hardly more than the 'swish' of a cloak. So, an extremely
powerful and experienced wizard can come and go with very little noise.

Elves are a completely different matter, I still think that more
effort=more noise, but elves have their own type of magic that I
suspect isn't always directly comparable to wizard magic.

There are a lot of things I want to know about the nature of magical
travel, and I'm looking forward to the next book when I assume Harry,
Ron, and Hermione will start studying Apparation.  This will be the
first chance we've had to experience it from inside the head of a
person while they apparate.

Just a thought.
