Are there quiet FSU rangefinders?

Yo everyone.
I recently acquired a Zorki 4. Cloth curtain, but it's shutter is still much louder compared to my Minolta 7S. More to the point, the Zorki's shutter has the characteristic SLR shutter sound, versus the leaf shutter which only goes "tuk".

Do you guys happen to know which one is the "quietest" of them all? I want the red dot but no $$$ thanks!

Thanks mate but I was hoping for some FSU stuff so I can finally get more focal lengths

PS: I don't do street. I just want to be unobtrusive.

Try the FED 2e, I think it is the more quiet one.

Thanks! Do you happen to have one?

Hmmm... I heard the quality control for those cameras are really bad, so I guess no two FSU cams are alike. My Fed 2 and Zorki 6 are both quiet machines, but my Zorki 4 and Fed 5 are noisy. I've played some very quiet Zorki 4's though...
