No need to be stated. It's the fact that RWBY started feeling the effects of dozens of Apathy hidden underneath the estate and were really not that affected until hours of exposure.

It took even multiple head on screams from a large crowd of them to make RWBY immobile.
 
So uh, as noted by Nico, people really seem to overestimate The Apathy's willpower manipulation. It took multiple head-on screams from a crowd of Apathy to force Ruby to stop moving, and she doesn't even have willpower resistance.

Noise in-character starts with petrification right? As long as he starts petrifying The Apathy it won't matter if they scream, because they will still become a bunch of Rock in the end.
 
One scream is all that is needed to willpower manip people into not moving, as shown both in the show and stated by the guidbook and creators of the series
 
Team RWBY taking a while to be affected only applies to the passive willpower manipulation of the Apathy. Their screams are significantly more potent. One scream made it hard to fight, two made it hard to move, three made Blake stop caring about life altogether, to the point she's too tired to even bother blinking. That's some severe escalation.

Yeah, but as mentioned before as long noise fires his petrification he still wins.due to the fact that The Apathy will be knocked out, even if it ends up sapping out his willpower
 
How likely is Noise using its petrification right off the bat? The Apathy's only strategy is "scream and get closer", so it's definitely screaming right off the bat. Meanwhile, Noise has a bunch of other options that could be its go-to instead of petrification. Statistically speaking, the Apathy's win-con is more likely to happen.

Apathy FRA.

Noise doesn't play around and most likely will use petrification right off the bat

Also note that Noise's power mimicry includes giving resistance towards whatever he copies, so if The Apathy screams he could mimicry and become immune to it.
