Or perhaps it's a question of care and practice.

The night Harry arrived at the Burrow in HBP, he and Mrs. Weasley
watched Arthur's hand on the clock go from "mortal peril" to
"traveling" and back when Arthur arrived at the Burrow, but although
he clearly must have appeared just outside the door, no mention is
made of an Apparition crack.

Mundungus Fletcher, who was probably half in the bag at the time, made
a bang like a starter's pistol, and the twins, who are new at the
game, also make a loud noise when they Apparate at Grimmauld place,
even though they have reason to be stealthy (Molly is listening).

If it is just a question of the amount of noise you make depending on
practice and of how careful you are being to be quiet, we can be sure
that Percy already Apparates pretty quietly, and that the Twins will
soon be making a noise like pair of hand grenades.
