I think hybrid electric designs are 'coming' partly for that exact reason. Aircraft can takeoff and land using mostly battery power which would reduce noise considerably. Part of the motivation is also to increase the bypass ratio by running a multiple fans per set of engines. Like four fans and two engines. High bypass --> less noise.
