I haven't seen them combine the really hefty large diameter and low speed grinder internals that you'd see quietly purring away in your local shop into a superauto. Given the price point of those machines it's clear that cost isn't THAT much of an issue. Of course they'd (further) shrink the bean and coffee reservoirs and the noise won't be the biggest problem.

Our Jura is pretty loud. I've wondered if you could get some sound damping in there without creating more problems (heat/ventilation/moisture). Our Roncillo standalone grinder is far quieter but even there the plastic lid rattles and resonates loudly. I'm wondering what a bit of that loaded rubber that goes into cars would do. There's some leftover generic Dyna-ish-mat somewhere in the garage - I just might give it a try.
