Are Cherry MX Red Silent really silent?

Ok, I know it is impossible to make it completely silent, but are they quieter than normal reds?
I am currently searching a keyboard with red silent switches because, well the name says, they are silent and I really don't like sounds of keyboards so I am searching for the one that is quiet. 
I am asking because I can't really find them that much, and when I find them, they usually are expensive or doesn't have lighting which I need (I am not talking about RGB, I just want static lighting) or doesn't have numpad.

Are they worth it? And if yes do you know any cherry mx red silent keyboards with numpad and lighting (I really like Red but any color would work)?

It is possible if you work hard for it and specially if you go full custom ... but that's the extreme ...

 

 

 

Check that review and maybe that's the keyboard for you

 

 

I have the kailh silent box brown and they are quite good ... really nice tactile bump ...

The best option would be a hotswappable board like the gmmk and some silent switches of your choice ...
