I'm sure being too loud is an issue, but it's not the issue. That's like saying the reason we don't all have castles is due to municipal zoning laws. Sure, that would make having a castle harder, but it's not the issue.
Yes, "flying cars" are loud, but that's a minor issue compared to the other ones. They're expensive to operate. They're dangerous both to their passengers and to people on the ground. They're extremely expensive. The infrastructure isn't available. They'd require training to operate, etc.
If you could wave a magic wand and make all those other problems disappear, the noise issue would still be a blocker. But, the noise issue isn't the biggest current blocker.
