I'm no expert either, but you could probably cut down on auditory noise by
shielding the spark gap, and by using the coil to drive a plasma globe.  It's
still
a tesla coil, but the evacuated globe would cut down on noise dramatically.  I
have
no experience with tube-based coils, but from what I hear (no pun intended),
that's
probably the way you should go.  Sound doesn't travel in a vacuum, so that
seems to
be a good solution.

Just hypothesizing,
