After 3 prototypes and several motors I finally got this cat toy motorized, still pretty loud though I wonder if I can dampen the gearbox somehow (i.imgur.com)

Idk what the motor looks like but im thinking that if you have a 3d printer then you could make a cover that goes around the gearbox and then afters is nice and sealed you can wrap it in fabric or rubber or something. I dont think the friction or vibration of the motor arm would cause such a high pitched noise.
