Depends on what kind. Pump rifles are loud, some pistols are too. I heard that electric airsoft guns arent that loud, plus there are spring airsoft guns too. Slingshots might be your best bet for stealth. There are paintball specific slingshots too.

(aka airsofts)
depend on size and power
if its small like one no bigger than like 4 or 3 inches it wont make a noticeable pop.
but like a bb gun bigger like the size of a paintball gun will make a slightly sharper but slightly lower volume pop.
electric bb guns do not make loud muzzle shots however they make a pretty noticeable click from the bbs and the machine makes a loud whine.
spring bb guns make long bang noizes depends on size e.i a scaled down m-16 is pretty loud its like letting a size 7 shoe drop down two stories onto the floor.
gas bb guns -ur hard core, its almost like the real thing except it shoots bbs at 800 or more fps. They will make a click/pop probably the same volume as ur paintball gun.
Good side to it you wont get paint everywhere just bb
Bad Side Airsofts have been know to be mistakened for real weapons.
Plus include the fact where you shoot.
Second get a supressor and spray paint it saftey orange to know its fake. Also add stuff to it that will absorb the shock from ur gun.
Third know what they're complaining about what they complain about if you get an airsoft.
Finally, if you hope to get an airsoft it depends on size the bigger it is the bigger bang the smaller it is the smaller pop.
Third go to an airsoft or hobby store and ask about what is less louder.
