In terms of their movement, elephants are quiet when they walk. They are technically walking on their toes.
Quoted from Africa-wildlife-detective.com:
"The reason that elephants can walk so quietly is in part due to the fibro elastic layer providing a spongy cushion on the bottom of the foot."
And also check out animalanswers.co.uk, because they relate how elephants walking to high-heels.
"An elephant is essentially walking in high-heeled shoes, because the heel bones are raised right up inside the foot and rest on a thick pad of fatty cartilage. This cushions the bones and aligns them more vertically so that the vast weight of the elephant rests directly over the pillar-like legs."
