COMMIEFORNIA :-(
On my pursuit to mouse fart quiet I’m able to get my pcp pretty quiet but target still smacks! Duct seal or rubber mulch same thing. The actual target (paper/cardboard) smacks. Will a 177 be better in terms of anal and diameter of the hole? I’m envisioning a smaller surface area and therefore less of a smack noise or is the difference negligible?
 
Yes a 177 will be quieter at the target than a 22. My back yard has proven there is a significant difference in the smack loudness.

As Toasty alludes to a pointed projectile like a slug will be even quieter. 177 slugs are really quiet going into a paper target.

Downside? 177 get pushed around more by the wind. But hey, that gives you more practice with wind adjustments.
