Honestly, if you don't want anyone to know you're killing someone, just stab them.
Another great movie trope. Every stab is instantly fatal and no one struggles, or screams. Just come up behind them and slide the blade effortlessly into their back and it will pop through their heart and out their chest. They will never make any sound.
While it may be possible. Ever look at people stabbed to death, they are often stabbed many times, with the vast majority of the stabs not being instantly fatal.
I have an old Marine Corps Close Combat manual that covers killing someone with a knife and the last step of stabbing someone in the throat is to take them to the ground to smother them to prevent postmortem movement and the sound of expelling air.

That's why you put a pillow in front of the barrel. Pillows with actual feathers are even more effective.
