If you're magically Invisible - from the Invisibility spell, for example - you don't lose it by making a noise, but that's the only mechanical difference from just taking the Hide action. So someone could still come over and have a look at whatever you're doing, presumably either having heard you or seen things being moved around as you get up to whatever nefarious business you're doing! And if you just Hid then, yeah, where's the mechanical advantage? Who cares? Someone comes over and says, "What are you doing with that chandelier?" and the PC can either not reply (still Invisible!) or reveal themselves. But by not replying, they're going to cause a scene, thus defeating the purpose of being Invisible in the first place... How many Wisdom (Perception) checks is an entire banqueting hall full of nobles all looking in your direction?So yes, you can become Invisible and theoretically stay Invisible by taking extraordinary steps to do so, but those steps are probably going to cause more complications to the situation, to the extent that the (moderate) mechanical advantage isn't even worth it.</blockquote>
