"Beaming" makes noise?

I seem to recall one of the FASA RPG books claiming that Klingon transporters were inferior to Federation ones, but the Klingons kept using them as they were silent, giving them a tactical advantage.
You work with lasers! That's just so cool!
Maybe it's because I'm 36 years old, but that must still be so cool to be able to tell people. Especially kids...I work with lasers!
Heck, I played music with a laser the other day. Of course, that's kind of an old-fashioned way to do it these days.
Like everything Trek, it depends on what is convenient for the plot;
After all, an entire crew of Son'a were beamed off their bridge without evening feeling it, let alone anyone hearing a sound

The novel The Final Reflection said the reason Kligon beams are silent and Federation beams make noise is that the Federation uses basically a double beam for safety. The Klingon beam has a low incident of data loss, resulting in injuries and deaths. Part of the data loss can include the instructions in the beam that puts you back together, all of you get to the beam down point, just in a puddle.
I was referencing a different, long thread about beaming and souls -- whether they transport, is the new person the same person moved, or a duplicate, etc.
I will work your objection into my NEW fanfic teleplay, "What Are Little Souls Made Of?"

Is the HISENBERG THEORY really needed to explain transporting? Do you really need to know where subatomic matter is in order to beam..maybe thats the noise..the Hisenberg Compensator is doing it...what is it doing...I DONT KNOW!!!

Every minimum-wage store clerk who uses a barcode scanner works with lasers. Try telling those guys their jobs are cool!

And it has a good beat that you can dance to.
To be sure, the dramatic music goes to such a crescendo at that point that we wouldn't hear the sound of the Starfleet transporter, either.Has it ever been pointed out that in the episode "Day of the Dove" that the Klingon transporter didn't make any noise?

Reeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaalllllllly?
One fine day in the Star Trek editing both...
Gene Roddenberry: You're gonna have to change the mix in this scene. The music just drowns out the Klingon Transporter Beam.
Sound Tech: Majel wants to found a Cajun Clams Boarder Team?
Gene: No - Beam! Klingon Transporter Beam!
Sound Tech: Oh - Keen! Bring on that Cole Porter Scene!
Gene: Arrrgh!
Funny, but "Day of the Dove" was from Trek's third season, during which G.R. was no longer personally involved with the show. Furthermore, the final soundtrack mix would have been the responsibility of the Sound Editor.To be sure, the dramatic music goes to such a crescendo at that point that we wouldn't hear the sound of the Starfleet transporter, either.Has it ever been pointed out that in the episode "Day of the Dove" that the Klingon transporter didn't make any noise?

Maybe the klingon transporters don't make sounds. Aside from this example, and the movies which came out later, is there a scene where we DO hear their transporter?

If it is burning..then what is burning? Because if you're beaming up, and the transporter is burning something up where you're standing, then why isn't it burning you?
