OK, maybe not all of them, but mine are completely silent.
On the myth front, the fact that you need to have tread patterns on road tyres, along with the myth that if you put your tyres on the wrong way round the world will start spinning counter clockwise.
There is no correct orientation for tread patterns, because they have no affect at all on road.

Mine are silent, until I pull the brake on. This time of year, I clean the discs/pads regularly which usually lasts for about 2 or 3 rides before they start again.

Front suspension and ebikes go together like a horse and carriage.

All cyclists are wonderful wonderful people who wish nothing but well towards their fellow humans and the planet.
And have absolutely no ego.
