The suppression of density fluctuations at different length scales is the hallmark of hyperuniformity. However, its existence and significance in jammed solids is still a matter of debate. We explore the presence of this hidden order in a manybody interacting model known to exhibit a rigidity transition, and find that in contrary to exisiting speculations, density fluctuations in the rigid phase are only suppressed up to a finite lengthscale. This length scale grows and diverges at the critical point of the rigidity transition, such that the system is hyperuniform in the fluid phase. This suggests that hyperuniformity is a feature generically absent in jammed solids. Surprisingly, corresponding fluctuations in geometrical properties of the model are found to be strongly suppressed over an even greater but still finite lengthscale, indicating that the system self organizes in preference to suppress geometrical fluctuations at the expense of incurring density fluctuations.
