Would appreciate any recommendations for the best moderator for my .22 Alpha Wolf. The 0 Db moderator doesn't seem to be quieting it down significantly.
Thank you in advance.

BBRemedy and cavedweller;
If the gun is loud because the pellets are supersonic, then reducing the reg setting makes sense. Else, a high reg setting with a low hammer spring preload/short valve dwell is actually quieter than a low reg setting and a lot of hammer spring preload/valve dwell, achieving nominal power.
The question is, what pellet weight is the OP shooting at what velocity? Without that info, there is a lot of guessing going on.

You still (easily) turn down the reg pressure manually - more shots, more efficient, quieter, etc.. remember you have to degas the gun and take pressure off the regulator to manually reduce reg pressure... increasing reg pressure under pressure is ok... lots of youtube info on this from AOA. If you reduce the reg pressure a bit the onboard computer will take care of your hammer/dwell etc... to maintain ES.

Should not be causing an unusual problem.
Experimenting with reg pressure may be instructive. That way you can see for yourself how reg pressure and sound correlate; when the other settings are configured to produce the same power.
Setting for lower power should make the PCP quieter; as should raising the reg pressure to achieve the same power - counter intuitively.

Daystate rifles make a lot of mechanical noise and the high powered ones cannot be made very quiet. I've not used any of their E-rifles but I assume they would be as noisy as the analog system.
My suggestion is make sure it's not the rifle rather than the report you're hearing.

Set your regulator to 100, take 4 shots to evaluate sound etc… gently increase reg pressure by 5 psi at a time until your sweet spot is attained. You will probably end up at 110/115 reg pressure depending on your barrel length
