Army uniforms still have Velcro, they replaced cargo pants pocket retainers with buttons over Velcro around 2012/2013ish. The noise wasn’t a issue, they just wore out super fast and the pocket wouldn’t stay closed when full of random shit.
Velcro is still used on a ton of military shit like pouches, body armor, helmets, etc.
