Resolution

You can't make the EL device quieter.  The inrush of current causes the plunger and solenoid to make noise.

A quieter option would be motorized electric latch retraction.  Von Duprin has QEL for 33A/35A, 94/95, and 98/99 Series.  Falcon has MEL for 24/25 Series.  There are conversion kits to convert EL to motorized electric latch retraction.
