Yes, I think line-contact styli generally reveal less surface noise than spherical or elliptical styli. My AT-OC9ML/II is one of the quietest cartridges I've ever heard. Conversely, my DL-103R is a bit noisier, but still not too bad.Vibrations in the cartridge enclosure or play in the tonearm bearings can amplify groove noise. I think MM cartridges might be a bit noisier due to their replaceable stylus assemblies, which might vibrate more than permanently installed stylus assemblies.
Best regards,
