I have a bit of speculation about the adds on VD.
I'm guessing what is happening is that the adds roam around invisible like the VNMs in abyssea zones. If they are in range when the boss does a Warble, then they will spawn. Silence looks like it shortens this range on VD and prevents adds entirely on lower difficulties?

I had the same thoughts kind of merely because of how Meebles are designed by SE.
Warbles seem to trigger the spawn rate of adds and my guess is every time the main boss uses it, it increases the chance of adds.
To test this we tried:
A.Engage the main near starting corner and just let it Warble without silence, after 6th warble Adds popped up and Housemaker didn't come.
B. Hold main where it was and after just 3 Warbles without silence Adds popped up and Housemaker attacked WHM and went back.
We repeated the same setup but with [Silence] on both and the spawn rate decreased since it took 9 warbles in starting corner and 5 warbles in scenario B and nothing changed with Housemaker.
It seems that the proximity of Breadwinner to Housemaker enhances the spawn rate by 50% by boosting each warble and Silence reduces it by 40-50% by gimping warble also the same proximity enhances the chances of [Earhtshaker?.] when adds are around.
The moment the Housemaker is in range of adds they start using [HF,SE].
Housemaker always attacked [WHM]
This whole thing could still be random and maybe other groups can confirm it.
