I can see wanting to be quiet if you want to surprise humans, but not the zombies. The heroes have learned how to take out small numbers hand to hand, you'd want to hear them, know where they are, instead of poking your head in a new room and getting pounced by a 'lurker'.
Lastly, as I said, they are already noisy going into the house, so they've already most likely ruined their advantage.
I know it's a false way to build suspense but ehhhh...
And yeah, maybe we're expecting too much, just had to get it off my chest.

I interpreted this differently. I don't think they're banging on the front door to alert any people that might be inside. I think it's because if there are any zombies in the rooms immediately inside the door, they will be drawn to the noise and the people doing the knocking will be able to decide (based on how many zombies there are) whether or not it's worth it to fight their way in or smarter to just move on to the next house. Once inside, it makes more sense to proceed quietly and clear the building room by room because they don't know how many zombies there could be in other parts of the house. Going carefully door by door allows them to use the natural choke points of the building as crowd control in the event they come across a room full of the undead, rather than just crashing their way through, unintentionally drawing out a pack of zombies, and getting swarmed.
Then again, I could be way off base. This is a show where characters make irrational decisions and are wildly inconsistent and I'm probably putting too much thought into this. It seems that very little makes sense in the zombie apocalypse.
