Yes, they do. They are, comparatively, much quieter than other machines, but they do make noise.
**BTW: Steam turbines (radial, axial or tangential steam engines) make a very loud high pitched noise, in most applications, because the steam passing through most steam turbines exceeds the velocity of the sound barrier, the noise is a continuous "sonic boom".

What is deifference between steam engene and electric engine?
A steam engine requires water to be heated to produce steam. This steam is used in pistons to produce movement, as in a steam train. An electric engine can produce the same energy, as in an electric car, and is far less bulky than a steam engine.
In order for a high temperature boiler or steam engine to produce superheated steam?
In order for a high temperature boiler or steam engine to produce superheated water, or steam?
Does a steam engine produce steam?
No. It utilizes steam to make it function. The boiler produces the steam.
What is the steam ingein?
A steam engine is a heat engine. A steam engine uses boiling water to produce mechanical work. It uses the steam from the boiling water as its working fluid.
What occurs in a steam engine?
Water is heated to produce steam. The steam is used to power the engine. The power from the engine does the work or powers other instruments that do the work.

What bad changes did the steam engine bring when it was invented?
smoke and noise made man mechine
Is noise pollution a possible negative effect of nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy itself, in a nuclear reactor, does not produce noise. The associated steam turbine plant will produce some noise, but probably not much outside the plant boundaries. The exception would be when a turbine has suddenly shutdown and steam has to be blown off for a while, that would probably be heard for a mile or two.
How are trains different from steam trains?
Steam trains were first. they use both fire and water to produce steam and make the engine run.
How can you change cars fuel to H2O?
You can't. No internal combustion engine will run on water except a steam engine, and even that requires another fuel to produce the steam.
2006 Kia Sedona growling noise from engine?
A 2006 Kia Sedona will exhibit a growling noise from the engine if the serpentine belt is loose. It can slip against the pulleys and produce a persistent growling noise.
Why does the electric engines are used for traction purpose rather than steam engines?
Steam isn't typically used for locomotives anymore. Normal operation of a locomotive is the generation of electricity with the use of an engine-generator set, often a diesel engine. This provides electricity for traction motors that turn the wheels of the locomotive. Excess electricity is stored in batteries, which provide power to the traction motors when the engine is not running, often to reduce noise and pollution in areas, such as cities, where it is undesirable to produce such noise and pollution.
