Sounds like you have the correct mentality and approach. I trust it will work out.

I think with a good can the gun noise is a non issue subsonic. Like was said earlier the issue is going to be the noise of the bullet hitting target. Wood backstops are LOUD. Sand/dirt is better. I am sure with some thinking you could come up with something even better.
A bolt action rifle shooting these: http://www.cci-ammunition.com/produc...e=3&loadNo=960 will be BB gun quiet.
I know here in ky the only rule is no shooting in city limits, have to be 50' from a public road, 50' from someone else's house (I shoot my 22 out the window at steel when the weather sucks), and in pretty sure if it's an actual neighborhood in the country you can. Other than that we just have to follow the general shooting safety rules and know where that bullet is gonna go if for some reason it goes over the berm. I live 4 miles from town, no neighbors on my side for 1/4-1/2 mile, and a huge hilly field behind my target (which is my backstop), and woods and other fields separating my range and other houses that are a mile or more away. Safer than the local range honestly
I have an 8.2" barreled 300 BLK, and with subsonic ammo pretty much all I hear is the bolt carrier slap. It isn't loud.
