The Lelit Anna is a very reasonable machine for you. The Baratzas in general are very loud. Instead I would get a Eureka Mignon Silenzio--$499 at Clive Coffee--or a Eureka Mignon Zero for even less--$329 at Walmart--truly a bargain! That's what I have and it's great, IMO.
Picked this up a few months ago. Ewcellent. Replaced my old Baratza vario which crapped out, although "quiet" is a relative term. At least it does not wake the neighbors
I have a Eureka Silenzio that I purchased packaged what an ECM Casa V espresso machine used for $500 for both. I’ve added a bellows and dialing collar to work for single dosing.
I have an older eureka silenzio with the smaller 50mm burrs. I am hoping that a jump in quality would be noticeable in taste and repeatability, but that silenzio is pretty quiet, very quick, and fairly consistent. I am not sure I can handle 5 times as long a grind time, it's probably just a mental block on my part .

Great value for espresso, but clogs and poor for pour-over.
