Stealth jets are generally quiet on the approach and noisy as hell once leaving as they direct the vast majority of the sound rear-wards. Once they've dropped their bomb or showed up on the scene there's no hiding them, so why try?

It's eerie how quietly a stealth jet can creep up, and crazy how loud they are when going away, an effect obvious at air-shows with stealth-modified aircraft.
