Walther Nighthawk  
http://pyramydair.com/p/walther-nighthawk-co2-pistol.shtml  
Specs = 3-medium  
3 medium is average if you include all types of airguns.  
 
The Walther Nighthawk is not loud, you could clap ur hands louder.  
 
Later: It is the gun that makes the difference not the co2  
cartridge. Here are 2 co2 guns, actually very similar looking rifles. One  
is a 1-low which is very-very quiet. The other is 5-high which is going to  
make it about as loud as some low power .22 rimfire rounds.  
 
Logun S-16Xs - 1-Low  
AirForce - Condor - 5-high
