I'm a little confused here.

How would:

(1) a semi-auto that's rigged to require manual recocking/reloading for each shot,
or:
(2) a pump rifle that requires manual recocking/reloading,

be any quieter than a bolt action rifle that also requires manual recocking/reloading for each shot???

Also, to answer your initial question, years ago I had a Winchester Model 67 single shot .22 rifle that had a 27" barrel and was incredibly quiet with standard velocity long rifles and almost completely silent with shorts. When a short was fired, it sounded about like a small twig being snapped.
