I have raised Black Sexlink chickens and they were fairly quiet. I bought all pullets, because I didn't want to raise chicks or listen to the rooster crow. They are a very large chicken that lays almost all double yolk eggs; mine did anyway. They are heavy and make a lot of meat. It really all boils down to what you are willing to tolerate. If you are going to raise something, you are going to have some kind of sound, that's just what goes with it. Pigs squeal, cows moo and chickens squawk. Get a few of all of them and you will have an orchestra.
