They're not noiseless, but I think the sound could be mistaken for a nail gun from someone installing a roof. Just be careful as those plastic pellets can really ricochet. I have a small one around the 150 fps range and the pellets have bounced off brick/concrete and straight back at me before. Always wear protective eye wear. I think at around 300+ ish, they might shatter on such surfaces instead.

Dying squirrels make screeching noises, so along with bylaw issues, I don't know if it's a good idea to be shooting at them.

Probably better to do stuff like put aromatics that the squirrels hate. Another idea is that the landscaping fabric pisses everyone off about their efficacy, so I assume installing that stuff may also piss off squirrels trying to bury food in your yard.
