All I can offer is .22CB/primer only type ammo through a bolt gun (CZ452 in my case) is quieter then a medium powered spring air rifle.

That being said a Beeman R7 air rifle in .22 with hearing protection should be damn near silent and should provide you with a helluva good gun and a great shooting experience.

Any chance you are somehow having the recoil/sound impulse transfer into your bones through vibrations almost like a bone mike?
