Tactical Velcro Opening might apply in this situation.
Could see that coming a mile away. Still laughed.
That is a blast from the past

well enough to hide beer from your parents
Totally what I thought this post was about when i saw it.
The opposite, hiding cola from my kids!
Definitely sneeze and open at the same time then.
I’m definitely aiming for “overall quiet”, as I was trying to drink it during naptime.
Perhaps more involved than you’d like, but you can get a “beer can cutter” which will allow you to eliminate the noise by removing the entire lid. Basically a fancy can opener.
You can also top a regular soda or beer can with one of those folding P-38 or P-51 style ration can openers. Jury’s out on whether or not you’ll get sprayed in the face when you first piece the can, though.
Yes. Raise the tab just enough to equalise the pressure, then use your thumb to slowly open the can hole, working from one side to the other. This video gives a tutorial using a beer, but it’ll work for any aluminum drink can.
Do this, but also cover the whole operation with a towel. Not quite stealth maybe but it’s about the best you can do.
Yeah with a clean towel you just open the tab until the seal breaks then use your thumb to force it open
Just don’t cut yourself on the can
Yes. Opening it before others arrive.
They’re light sleepers, is the actual sitch.
Stick the whole top of the can in your mouth and then use your tongue to pop the tab. Easy!

Take it elsewhere - behind a door, outside, in the bathroom with the shower running etc
Wait for a loud part of the movie and then cough while you open it.
Push down on the opening with your thumb while you slowly lift the tab. It’s considerably quieter than opening it normally.
Fart loudly while opening the tab. The smell will chase everyone away and you can drink in peace.
Quietist way with no extra equipment is to press your thumb to the tab that goes down into the can, wouldn’t be what I call stealth but cuts the noise dramatically.
It sounds like it could cut your thumb dramatically
I’m pretty bad with fine motor skills but I can pull it off.
If you can, place it on a relatively flat surface and move it in a circle for a minute or two. Not sure of how it works, but I’ve opened cans with nary a hiss using this method. I’ve even managed to do it with the can just on my thigh and trying to keep it as perpendicular as possible.

I can’t quite picture what you’re describing. Am I spinning it slowly? Is it upright or on its side?
Try under water.
