Reds aren't that new, they've been around for years. No tactile feedback, though, which is why many people (including me) don't prefer them.
No these are the "silent" reds. They don't make a sound when bottoming out and also not when coming back up. Regular: https://www.cherrymx.de/en/mx-original/mx-red.html Silent: https://www.cherrymx.de/en/mx-original/mx-silent-red.html

They are still linear switches though. So silent in tactile feel as well
I made my ergonomic, split keyboards from a kit[1], and chose Aliaz Silent switches [2]. It's around the same noisiness as everyone else's keyboard (Apple, cheap Dell one etc).
(There are almost certainly other options — the choice was a bit overwhelming when I decided to buy a DIY keyboard — but I'm not in the hobby of collecting many different keyboards. Various Reddit groups can advise.)

It needs an option to amplify the typing noises to "I work with developers who insist mechanical keyboards are better" levels.
There are now quiet Cherry MX switches, dampened in both directions of travel: https://www.cherrymx.de/en/mx-original/mx-silent-red.html They're no louder than a regular membrane keyboard, and much quieter than just using O-rings.

I should crack open a can of tuna at 10am and leave it at the end of the desk! (Yes, this happens on the desk next to me at work)
I work on the Starship Enterprise, but the pandemic is forcing me to work from home. This helps a lot: https://youtu.be/UKBvaOLDem0

Ehhhh that hum/droning sound that's constant doesn't sound like any office I've ever worked in. Other than that, neat!
I wonder if I should get one for home …
