Not a bad idea really, so I'll answer your question seriously...
Perhaps you should look into a BERP. The original intent was to provide resistance while buzzing, but I imagine it could be used as a mute. Even better would be one of the old ones made of metal that you don't have to mount to a horn. Of course you could use a new plastic one the same way, but the metal one would be better if you never intend to use it with a horn.
Maybe there are some breathing "toys" or exercises you could do while at work that would be useful without the noise of buzzing.
