Any Way to Quiet the Beast without Calming it?

I’m new to Subaru and recently bought a used 2023 WRX Premium model. I know from watching videos over mods and things that it’s very common to change the exhaust so it’s louder. While I am getting along in years I’m not quite to the stage of “old man yelling at loud car” but I do like night drives and have always preferred to be quiet rather than noisy, better to disappear that way.

Anyhow, I was wondering if anyone would have thoughts on making the car exhaust more quiet without sacrificing performance. My WRX is nearly stock. For context I also know very little about cars in general. I could change the oil, fill the windshield fluid and such but much beyond that I’m just now starting to discover.
