My cardiologist can barely hear any murmur associated with moderate to severe mitral valve regurgitation. The severity of the regurgitation (back flow) does not correlate with the loudness of the murmur. Some people can have very little regurgitation with loud murmurs while others with tremendous regurgitation barely make any noise at all.
