Soda tabs involve both releasing pressure and breaking a thin piece of aluminum. That creates a large amount of noise.

At present time the puncture mechanism creates a hole that makes a shock wave and thereby a large sound. It might be possible to redesign the puncture hole to minimize the sound by a different type of turbulence. This would require some experiment.

Around 25-30 years ago, Pepsi had cans which had two holse, as small one and a larde one. You opened the small one, then drank from the large one. I think they were glued shut.

While I understand the physics behind why the noises are made, and the seeking of the companies to make cheap, inexpensive containers I do think they can do something. The can also lends itself to getting pop all over you when you open it, simply because that's the way it's opening is pointed. The method used by fruit cocktail cans with the up-pulling tabs don't work any better; they're either flimsy or impossible to open.

Maybe metal cans itself is the problem? making cheap cans means making them with no twist-off bits or screwing parts or anything, so you have to break some manner of seal.
