May be a long shot but see if you can find a mining operation in your region. I happen to live near the headquarters of a large mining company (who shall remain nameless) and they often list used equipment for sale on their website which I can then pick up in person.
Also, there are boxes you can buy (or build) to help reduce noise. Shush Miner is one.
Thanks for the tips, these are ideas I didn’t consider!
ETA: wow I did not expect to see the silencer cost $1600USD 😮
