Do muzzle brakes help with noise?

No. A muzzle brake does reduce recoil and muzzle rise, but it also increases noise.

Muzzle brakes work by redirecting the gasses that escape from the barrel after the bullet has been fired. These redirected gasses create a force that pushes against the brake, which in turn creates a counter-force that pushes the gun backward and reduces recoil. Muzzle brakes also help to stabilize the gun and keep it from jumping around as much when it’s fired, which helps to reduce vibration.

The majority of the noise usually dissipates in a forward projecting cone from the weapon. Sound is deflected to the side and rear because of muzzle brake gases. As a result, bystanders and shooters are exposed to greater noise.

The hunting experience can be very sensitive to the noise you make, see what hunters say about using a muzzle brake:
