The Double Bazooka is probably quieter than a plain dipole
because, unlike a plain dipole, there is a DC path between
all points in the antenna thus minimizing the effects of
precipitation static.

So a nice 2.5 K ohm resistor at the feed point of a dipole would be vastly
less work.

Yes, it has nothing to do with SWR or bandwidth. I reduced
the precipitation static problem in the Arizona desert by
going to a full wave 40m loop, the one on my web page.
