Any ideas on making my .177 Nova Freedom quieter would be much appreciated. I don't really want to put a moderator on it, as the rifle is pretty long as it is.

Small hair curlers wrapped with oiled scotchbrite type materual. Cut to fit. Definitely works. You may use a washer in between 2 of them if you want.

Hair curlers wrapped in scotch brite type material make it quieter.
But the EBAY one if you aren't the DIY type of guy and don't really need it the absolute quietest.

I've already had it apart repairing the pump, so I'll try the curler trick first,especially since I have the materials on hand. Explaining to the wife why I'm rummaging around with her curlers might be a chore though

You can also use a very weak spring or 2 separated by a washer sushi wrapped with scotch brite type material or even dish cloth or bath towel scrubber type material.
All depends how quiet you really need it to be.

The Freedom uses the same barrel and shroud as the Liberty. I did testing with different baffles, vented muzzle spacer, vented shroud and adding 2-3" in front of the barrel. The former made minor reductions and changes in tone. The 2-3" in front of the barrel made the most significant change.
