Depending on how close the neighbors are, and how much the noise bothers them you could always get a rifle with a suppressor (integral or screw on). I have a bolt action 22lr savage with a threaded barrel and suppressor. When I shoot subsonic rounds it is quieter than my pellet gun. Really, we measured the sound levels. It is also very accurate, and plenty deadly enough on small game. Besides, suppressors are fun, get one while you still legally can.
