Imo, how much noise skateboard do widely depends on what kind of asphalt exactly is there. And what exactly skateboarders do. It can be fairly ok silent and also fairly noisy and stand out.

Yep. Cruising down a smooth asphalt street alone with soft wheels makes almost no noise at all.

Doing ollies and grinds on hard concrete with hard wheels and 6 of your friends who all have to yell "yeah!" every time someone lands a trick is definitely nuisance level.
