I haven't had experience of any breeds other than those I've got now, but out of those (Croad Langshan, Pekin, OEGx, all bantams, Araucana and Marans), the only one that hardly ever makes a noise is the Pekin.
Probably because she's right at the bottom of the pecking order and is just too scared to open her mouth  |

seriously i would say the indian game in large fowl i had a cock bird for 5 yrs and my neighbours didn't know  , other than that i understand a lot of the eastern game breeds (shamo types  ) crow long and low and are good built up area candidates . In bantams my pekin cock is pretty quiet  you have to listen to hear him 8 feet from the bedroom window |

| My silkie and marans hens are the quietest I've had so far. The noisiest is a little pekin/poland cross. A real 'shrieker!' |
