Very true, iv delivered classes on the subject of urban survival and of course noise in an empty city or town will echo a lot to, though bounces around so much is harder to pin point then in the woods.
What I advise in practice, as power will be needed by many for different reasons, is to obtain generators post event, place them in near by buildings that can be or are already soundproof and a place near by each of them to cache fuel and car batteries you have scavenged. You can charge these batteries well away from your home location in a place of your choosing, for me just up the street. Doing this until you have scavenged enough parts to set up a renewable energy source...
A militia could be based at such buildings to discourage potential looters.
For me, a militia would yes patrol the surrounding area of its settlement. Eventually armed.
But more to provide a visual deterrent, to provide its group with assistance in securing their property and to manage disputes.

It is my belief that to be prepared information must be deseminated and distributed as quickly as possible to those that have the ability to teach and deliver those lessons they learn
Those that can not teach must be taught to act that can not act must be protected that would mock ignore and harm be addressed.
