Ruger pellet gun

Purchased one at Academy for the "varmints" in my back yard. I live in the 'burbs so needed quiet. Well, let me tell you the Ruger pellet gun ain't not Daisy. Sounded like a small caliber deer rifle in the back yard, had the dogs barkin' up and down the street. Wife and kids thought I had come home w/ fireworks

Any gun with a muzzle velocity above the speed of sound (1,126 fps) is going to have a moderately loud crack. You'd be better off getting the .22 version of that pellet gun (which will be subsonic) or shooting subsonic rounds through a traditional .22 rimfire rifle.
eta: you could also try shooting a heavier .177 pellet. Beeman sells them.

You can't beat the Benjiman pellet gun

Gamo Whisper
Or you can get those .22 rounds that have no powder, only primer. Super quiet.

Been looking into buying a nice air rifle lately. Stepson has a Gamo but I just dont like it. Its very loud and cheap looking even though it cost over 150. My first pellet gun was a Powerline 880 then from that one i moved to a Beeman breakdown then added a Benjamin .22. Lost all of those years ago but the Beeman wasnt the strongest but so much more accurate. Im gonna spend around 300-350 on a RWS or Beeman.
