Well, I've got a little problem:
I adore birds, but I can't stand it if they are extremely loud like macaws...
Still I'd love to have a tame bird. I already got zebra finches, but those are birds you can just look at!
Which bird would you suggest?

tl;dr
What birds are not too loud and can be tamed?

parakeets

anything bigger gets loud and annoying.

I own a green cheeked conure, and while occasionally he gets pretty noisy it's pretty rare and no where near as loud as the larger birds.
Plus he's extremely affectionate, he's the first bird I've ever seen that likes to snuggle.

just fyi op, you can tame zebra finches, but it takes a shitload of patience. probably not what you're looking for, but certainly an option.

I used to breed zebra finches. I had one named Rusty who would sit on my fingers. He lived to be around 15 yrs old. I miss him. :(

My boyfriend has a Meyer's parrot and she is very quite. She only gets noisy when she's busy copying his cockatiel.

Most social birds get noisy when they aren't given enough attention. I hear that they require 4-5 hours of interaction from their owners a day depending on the species.
