Any of those commercial engines are noisy.

The Edgar Westbury one isnt too bad, if you feel like making your own. 
There was also a design (ME? EIM?) for a slow revving engine. It fired 
every other stroke (an 8 stroke), thus making the noise a lower pitch, 
and sounding more authentic.

If you go for a commercial engine, than I think it will take a lot to 
quieten it down.
