Aura of silence, isn't silent

I’ve got the aura of silence, so I thought I could melee enemies without waking up other monsters. turns out I can’t. I guess mechanically the noise comes from my tile, rather than the monster’s?
Still feels weird.

It seems like with the silence donut, getting hit makes noise but hitting others doesn’t. You still have to pass stealth checks too ofc, even without noise!

Silence eliminates all noise but also kills your stealth because the enemies are alerted by the unnatural silence. It says in the spell description.

I’m talking about Aura of Stealth, the demonspawn mutation. (That creates a silence donut.) I have +++++++ stealth. monsters very rarely wake up due to me standing in LOS. But they reliably wake up when I attack non-sleeping enemies with wirlwind attacks.
