While my R7 is on the quite side, is there anything I can add to the barrel to make it even quieter. Priority is keeping it’s accuracy but I would like to shave off a few decibels if possible. Thanks
Shooting a R7 in town. Need more stealth.

Tell someone to shoot your R7 while you stand 10yds to the side of them. You don't need it any quieter. I had an HW 15mm moderator on mine for a bit and it did quiet it down a hair but the extra weight on the end of the barrel also made the barrel pop open too easily. If I didn't catch it, it would throw massive fliers. I don't use that any more.

Tuning with tight spring guides and for the adventuress soft bedding can also quiet a springer down.

Run the lawnmower or your portable gas powered generator. Nobody will know you're shooting.

As others have suggested, your R7 is probably quieter from a distance than it appears to be to the shooter. Your ear is right next to the compression chamber. A tune kit is likely to be more effective in reducing noise than some type of moderator. Most of the sound made by spring guns is mechanical.
