Given that Aura is supposed to give people a sort of sixth sense, silent steps wouldn't really do much against someone with a good degree of it and is alert. Its effectiveness against Grimm is also questionable, as we aren't certain as to whether they have anything similar, but at the very least I think its effectiveness would be quite reduced, given that any area is most likely going to be crawling with them, thus giving them the advantage of extra eyes, noses, and/or mouths. Assuming they sense the same way their animal bases do, anyways.

Overall, while I can see the idea behind it, I don't think it works particularly well in the RWBYverse. Most of the things he'd have to fight would probably have some way of rendering it a moot point, and with anything that didn't have one it probably wouldn't have mattered. It's also completely useless once he gets spotted.
