Well, even in a glider all the air moving by does quite some hissing, so its not completely silent (judging from the two flights I took as a passenger in a Blanik and Super Blanik respectively). Still much quieter than a small prop aircraft & you can talk with the pilot just fine.
On the other hand from the ground - yeah, a glider is pretty much silent. You might sometimes hear some rather earie whistling from some types when they are directly above, but thats it.
