The troops need the morale as much as anything. This explanation was good enough to alter my conclusion, though.

Big loud platoons should do their thing, grabbing the enemy’s attention, meanwhile the actual soldiers should sneak up or flank with silenced guns and do the real work.

The noisemakers should be given rounds that are optimized for decibels per dollar. Large muzzle flashes too. Perhaps not actual blanks, as that’s too blatant, but close enough.
