Toilet noise comes from three main areas:
1: The moving parts. Mr W-D 40 everything's got you covered there.
2: The pipes that refill the tank.
3: The whooshing sound of the water falling down into the bowl.
Some toilets make an awful screeching sound for several minutes after they flush. That my friend, is caused by the pipes, and you CAN do something about that. Behind the toilet, there should be a silvery oval knob attached to the wall, or sometimes the floor. Flush the toilet, and as it refills, there may be a screeching sound coming from this knob. Give it a turn or two this way and that. Your toilet may fill up a little slower, but at some point, it will be quieter too.
If the flush itself is making a lot of noise, there isn't much you can do. If it's an older toilet, you might try putting a jar of water or something in the tank part above the bowl. Adjusting the float might also do a little, as this will chainge the amount of water getting flushed.
Aside from that, my only suggestion is a padded seat cover, and putting the lid down every time you want to flush.

Perhaps install a water saving device to reduce the amount of water flow.They take up space in the tank and reduce the amount of water going through.Or stop the diet of cheyenne peppers and jalapenos,toilets can feel the burn.

If the problem is when it refills you can partially close the shutoff valve at the base of the toilet. It will take the tank longer to fill, but it should be quieter. Good luck

WD-40 everything in the tank, all the steel or dump some liquid vegetable oil into the tank water, maybe a cap full and it,ll coat everything in the tank.

that's achievable that the valve on the wall at the back of the bathroom have been given closed too some distance. try turning the valve counter-clockwise (gently) till at last you sense it supply up, then turn it back clockwise a million/2 turn. "pinched" valves could make alot of noise. additionally, examine the tube from the valve to the bathroom...is it kinked? replace it. wish this facilitates!

Not going to happen. Soundproof the room is the best you can do. (or buy a quieter brand.)
Sorry.
