I seem to get mixed results searching the web for the quietest 22 round.

Prime contenders are 22 CB, 22 BB or the Agulia Colibri, (all in just primer powered guise).

The colibri seems to be the leader. Anyone with practical experience ?
 
I've never used anything weaker than CBs and CCI's new 22 LR "quiet" cartridge.

Both are VERY quiet when fired from a rifle.

Both are a lot louder fired from a handgun. The pressure inside the barrel is still fairly high when the bullet exits after sliding only 4 or 5 inches. But by the time the bullet has gone 20 inches down the rifle-length tube, the internal pressure has dropped a lot.
 
Probably the Colibri .

My 22 well shoot shorts an longs ,both of which are quieter than the cci quiet I bought.. By shoot I mean bolt action n a semi.
