The only problem with getting a pellet rifle for squirrels is that soon after you get it, you'll start getting "problem" coons and opossums....like somebody told me in my "I NEED A NEW BOAT MOTOR" thread, cry once and get it over with....get you a .25 Marauder and a hand pump....quiet and thumps schitt like a .22 short....you can "tune" em pretty easy and Neil Claque used to offer an aftermarket shroud that works even better than the factory "air stripper"...
There ya go!
Killed countless vermin up to and including hogs with mine.
Loudest thing is the pellet hitting what you shoot at.
If you are in the city, rules of safety apply though. Not that they don't in the country, but it's quite a bit of gun for urban use.
