I have a Ripetide St w/IPilot on my cat. I love how it performs but the digital motors do make a noise everytime you engage it. Does anyone know if this motor sound is emitted through the water column? If so, I am assuming it can spook the fish. I need an excuse since fishing was terrible last year (LOL).

All trolling motors make a noise easily heard under water. You can try it yourself but if you're within 30 or 40 feet you will hear any trolling motor running.
Now consider that the bass use their lateral lines to "hear" and well, they hear you. The quieter the better but if you're sneaking you're culling.
