That sounds like a quote from u-blox marketing people.  It might be
true, and it might be a claim made with no data that isn't true.

Without a reference to data published in a peer-reviewed journal, I'm
skeptical :-)  It's certainly possible L5 is quieter.

Perhaps someone can get data out of an F9, which I think can measure
noise levels, with a L1/L2/l5 antenna, in a statistically  valid sample
of urban locations.  Or use a spectrum analyzer.
