Best breed of quail for a neighborhood?

I only have experience with coturnix and I love them, what purpose are you keeping the quail for?

Ok I have heard great things about Coturnix Quail, so I will probably get them. I am keeping them for their eggs because I have heard they taste way better than chicken eggs and are considered a delicacy in some parts of the world. However, I will not use them for meat because I would probably get to attached

Then that works out because a group of coturnix hens aren't going to be loud - the worst you'll hear is some cricket chirping if they're calling for a mate and maybe some soft creepy screeches during egg laying time :p

Shouldn't bother your neighbours, a dog barking is waaaaaay louder and they will probably think it's crickets if they even notice it :)
 
I have really close neighbours and they haven't even noticed I have them as they only make cricket chirping noises which is super cute but can barely hear them over the sound of running water as I have a pond with a waterfall ! I have 7 quail one male and 6 girls ! X I love them my little monsters ! X
 
I have 5 adult hens. I started out with 7 and learned how much snakes love them.

At Christmas we hatched our first batch. 7 out of 12 viable eggs have survived to be 2 weeks old.

I have another batch in the incubator of Giants and Goliath. (Larger cotunix selectively bred for their size).

So just warning you; it can turn into an empire!
