How far away are your neighbors?
Since you said that you have neighbors, I would have to suggest a good pellet gun. The good ones are very effective against smaller prey, and are much quieter than your current set up. A good pellet gun can dispatch small game just as effectively as a .22.
I wouldn't be concerned about the noise level as much as the terminal ballistics though. I don't want any stray bullets hitting pets, mailboxes, or worse.
I would second this concern. A .22 just a little high (or low) will ricochet off driveways/roads/etc and could be a very serious problem. It'd be a freak accident but not a chance I'd be willing to take...
