A modern Mirrorless, such as a Z9 which also has a completely electronic shutter, makes less noise than my breathing and I couldn't be happier with the EVF. For most, but not all, uses I have some artificial sound turned on so that my brain can confirm shots were actually taken. When needed, such as Golf or Disc Golf, that absolute silent running is a godsend! I can only remember the days when my D5 and D6 annoyed everyone. Best of luck.
News flash all other mirrorless cameras have silent electronic shutters as well as numerous DSLRs.
Those with mechanical shutters though as well usually have a much faster flash synch than the Z9/Z8.
