People are critical of the noise and concussion of a rifle indoors but think nothing of using pepper spray in a confined space?
Arizona_Mike, this isn't a dig against your wife, far from it. I just find it incredulous people worry about muzzle blast indoors, but would think nothing of letting loose a stream of property spray in a confined space. Perhaps they would advise keeping gas mask handy.
I wouldn't trust a strobe light to stop an attacker in any circumstance.
Tasers are not nonlethal. Tasers are less lethal. There is still a risk of death.
If your wife is open to the idea, the best solution is a suppressed 9mm pistol using subsonic ammunition. My wife is very sensitive to loud noises and is not a gun person. But she claimed one of my .22 pistols for herself and is interested in getting a suppressor. She also has a 9mm she shoots on occasion. I don't tell you this to say your wife should do the same add my wife. I tell you this to explain I understand about your wife being very sensitive to loud noise.
Firearms, Tasers and pepper spray are the last resort. They are used only when a badguy has penetrated your last layer of defense. Set up those layers wisely and the chances you'll need your last resort diminishes.
