I noticed this too. In the lore section of the forums, we came out with an explanation why 3/4 void creatures can silence.

We think that only people of the real realm (this one, not the void) that have seem the void or interacted with it, can control space-time. With this, they can create "vacuums" (or "voids) of magic that can suck magic from around. Thus giving the "silence" effect.

Now, only Kass and Malz can use this "void-space" (the stuff that reality is made of) since they are real creatures that saw or interacted with the void. Now, Kog and Cho are void creatures so they can't use it. Which brings us to Cho, why can he silence? He doesn't silence in the same way, Malz and Kass use magic to manipulate the void-space to make magical vacuums. Cho simply screams, very high, so high as to break the concentration required to cast magic. This gives the silence effect to the targets.

Now Kog, being a void creature can't use the void-space. And since he doesn't have any physical way of silencing (like Cho's high scream), then he doesn't have a silence.

Or at least that's what we made up in the Lore section.
