Not that I have personal experience, but Seramas come to mind. Apparently it is not uncommon to keep them indoors.

You could get two little call DRAKES- not hens as they are very loud. The drakes are very quiet though. they weigh under two pounds and are as cute as can be. They might be feasible to keep indoors. just be sure that they have the option to submerse their head in water as this cleans out any bad stuff they might have on their face. (and get some outside time.) Birds make great pets, Good luck!What kinds of duck are loving AND quiet? They don't need to be silent or anything, just shouldn't be able to hear them the next house over. I see Muscovies are pretty much the most recommended quiet ones, but I have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and the red tumor-like bulbs freak me out. I really like the look of Mallards (and the size) and Pekins, but looks aren't too important to me unless they have the tumor kind things sticking out of them like Muscovies.
Did you do anything to make them friendly? I have coturnix that I got as adults and they are super flighty. They act like I'm going to murder them every time I open the cage. I do like watching them dust bathe and peck around. But I don't handle them because they are so against it.My Coturnix quail are sweet and curious and friendly, much friendlier than our chickens, even the ones we handled a lot as chicks. They constantly stand in the way when I clean them out and have been known to fall out of their cage trying to get to me when I open the door. They love being hand fed treats. Some of mine really enjoy being patted too. Certain colours are more docile than others. You could keep a couple of females in an indoor rabbit/guinea pig cage. They are dusty birds (but then so are chickens and ducks).
Other species of quail are not as domesticated so aren't a good choice pet-wise.
