Hmmm, like others have said, I would steer clear of anything like cat toys etc., simply because quality and strength are not usually their strong points. That being said, IMHO all toys (even a vibrator or dildo) can be potentially dangerous in the hands of a jerk or someone who doesn't think...don't think you or your husband fall into that category FF.
While it is all very nice to pop into every workshop on every toy possible (if you happen to live somewhere where this is even possible of course, and that is unusuall), it is not the reality of most and for most experimentation coupled with common sense and prior research is more what happens. I have always relied on gauging the intelligence, knowledge, and nature of those I played with in the past as to whether they were likely to know what they were doing and more importantly, were concerned about my welfare...interestingly, some who were keen on going to workshops were the ones who had occasional mishaps (thankfully I didn't play with them) simply because they relaxed their guard believing they had all the facts from listening to an 'expert' and watching what they did, so could do no wrong...doesn't always work as is usually intended which is why I used my own head first and foremost and was fortunate to not be injured by a play partner.As to the silence of canes, for us they are not silent...there is a noticeable sound of impact on flesh, level depending on thickness of the cane and also the force behind the strike...then there is also speed which can cause whistling as the cane slices the air prior to impact.
Of course, they still are among my favourite things, and I brought back more cane from Oz to make some more for us....hmm, we already have 5 I made several years ago, but one can never have too many. 
Putting aside reactionary noises, I would have to say the most silent and simple methods involve biting (nice and gradual, and harder as the minutes pass), and also hands...pinching, squeezing, crushing, twisting, scratching etc.). Interestingly, with my problem with not marking very easily (sheeesh, not even with the bullwhip
), we have found his teeth and hands are the most effective means of getting some colour that lasts more than an hour or so, not to mention they create exquisite torture. There are also those delightful clamps you find in hardware departments which are plastic with rubber tips, but come in various sizes and strengths and are usually more powerful than the clothespin. For impact items, one we have found which is surprisingly quieter and often silent compared to floggers, crops, and canes, is a small cane ( well was listed as a whip in the equestrian store I bought it in) which is only about 12-14 inches long and covered in soft leather. Due to the length and strength it does not have flexibility so requires some care, but also packs more pain than most of our canes and can be used quietly, not to mention is easy to carry anywhere unseen (slips up a sleeve easily, in a small overnight bag too
). It is a delightful multi-purpose tool for playtime. As a rule most things used for impact such as hairbrushes, wooden spoons, spatulas, paddles, canes, crops, floggers etc., are going to make noise...pressure items are much more quiet, though that is without taking into account the screams, groaning, moaning, begging that might occur. And of course there is always restraints such as rope etc., which can be used to create pain for short periods of time.
