Booming Blade obviously makes some noise, although it does not specify that it makes an especially loud noise. Definitely not a stealth spell, though.
The problem with using Silence, though, even if you could get it, is that Silence prevents thunder damage within its area, so the Booming Blade would have no effect.
So you'll have to choose between making ...

As written, booming blade doesn’t make any more noise than a normal attack.
Notably, booming blade does not have a verbal component, and the spell description says nothing about making noise. Compare it to the spell thunder step:

Only the hand itself is invisible, not objects it carries
There are other game features that grant a creature the ability to cast an invsiible mage hand. Notably, they are all associated with psionic creatures, such as the Gityahki and Githzerai, and they are explicitly indicated to be psionic in nature:
Innate Spellcasting (Psionics). The githyanki’s ...

Concealing held objects is an addition to the hand's property of being invisible
We have no grounds to believe that an invisible container renders invisible that which it contains. Without specific rules stating that this occurs, we must assume that it does not.
Let's make an analogous, real world case using transparency: If I put a coin into a ...
