Is the garage completely enclosed? If not you might consider insulating it or as an alternative set up a portable "silencer you shoot through but is not attached to the gun. This would be some thing like an oil drum with the top and bottom cut out or a ply wood box open at both ends and lined with insulation. What ever the bullets impact is a factor too. I used a "Detroit" bullet trap in my basement. When the .22's hit the steel plate it was like ringing a bell. Frankly noisier than the shot. A silencer could be an effective solution an I suspect there are some nice barrel/silencer combinations available for the 10/22 (and probably pricey). I would be concerned that a unit which just attaches to the end of the barrel may effect the balance and handling.
