I'm not so sure. Even we barely give off much electro-magnetic radiation anymore (fiber optics, undersea cables, etc). It's likely that there is only a brief period in a civilisation where this happens before it goes "quiet" again.
The Fermi paradox is probably right IMO, and this is what cultural evolution looks like. Bad mutation at the moment, and hopefully not selected for in future instantiations
