Most bizjets use turbofan engines which are significantly quieter than
the turbojets used on gliders.

Maybe. Many USA glider locations already have corporate jets flying in and out, and they are noisier than a jet glider. Places in the west like Hollister, Ely, Tonopah, Bishop, Inyokern, Santa Ynez, Minden and so on. I am not familiar with the rest of the country, but perhaps some gliding locations there are based at airports that take jets?
