Question:
Do the hadiths not indicate seeking forgiveness aloud?
Answer:
Whether one seeks forgiveness aloud or in secret, it is all good, for it is supplication. It is better to keep supplication secret, but if there is a need to make it public, such as the preacher who admonishes the people during the prayer for rain, he does so aloud, like the qunut in which one supplicates with the people. As for a person between himself and his Lord, keeping it secret is better [Al-A'raf: 55].

Call upon your Lord in humility and privately; indeed, He does not like transgressors.
ادْعُوا رَبَّكُمْ تَضَرُّعًا وَخُفْيَةً إِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِينَ
