Nope, You heard wrong. That's like saying you can't listen to the radio at night, lol. 
The waves travel no matter what. Hpwever, they can't use the gun at more than a 10 degree angle from the target or it starts becoming inaccurate.The greater the angle, the more its thrown off.
Here's a basic run through of how it works:

the only time it makes any difference is when there is like fog, power lines and other thing that could cause interference... because its night time just give them more hidding spot and makes it easier to hang it out the window where you wont see
