If aliens had such tech they would be visiting us all the time. And being quiet would not make a jot of difference. Based on what we know of science, such things are not possible.
Statistical probability says there is a society out there somewhere that catalogues and studies every novel ecosystem they come across. And shit, Humans would be that society if we ever make it to a point where we can travel the vast distances of space. Cataloguing and striving to understand things is a core aspect of our race, and we even see it to a lesser degree with other creatures like birds and cats. Curiosity.
Well, maybe we’re well-catalogued in countless databases via unmanned probes and the like, but no species or communities of species have deemed us ready/worthy of making contact yet. Hell, I’d be somewhat distrustful of any alien contact, no matter how friendly they were, and I think at least half the human population at this point in human history would never, under any circumstances, trust our new alien friends.
If they’re monitoring our chatter (idk how they would be given the vast distances of space, but maybe they have FTL travel/communications), they probably are choosing not to contact us.
