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.
