Talking is only passable if they can get away with it. Soundproofed homes don’t always keep the sound eaters away. Some noise attracts and some doesn’t. Also the natives will act if they hear something. So you can play around with your character getting lucky and being able to talk without negative consequences but it couldn’t be all the time. We want you to be able to play around with this at your own discretion. So have fun with it.
