Default Opinions about a rifle for lawn/porch hunting

I live on the outskirts of a rural town. However, I do have neighbors to the south of me. I have an open pasture to the north of me which coyotes and other preditors frequent (maybe ever the occasional small hog). What I want is a quiet centerfire rifle to take them out with. I don't want to disturb my neighbors during the day and at night with the report of gun fire. I do reload, but I don't want to load down a particular cartrige just to make less noise. I haven't shot any centerfire lower than a 243 which is too loud. I do have a 17hmr, but I am looking for a centerfire. I was thinking about a 22-250 or a 223. Any opinions would help. Thanks
