You can use brushes instead of sticks to make it quieter.
Use a pad or using brushes, Brushes make the drum quieter when hit then when hit with a drumstick. The Brushes might make the drum sound a little bit different then when hit with a drumstick. A pad will also make it quieter, it sounds like the drum but only muffled. It's recommended that with a pad to use drumsticks and not brushes.
Normally hitting the drum closer to the edge would make the note lower, it can make it quieter. Sometimes a drum can have a "sweet spot" as it is called this is where when struck gives the best tone.
I'm not sure if this is the proper answer to your question. The drum beat called a ghost means that the hit that your doing is a lot quieter compared to the other hits your doing in the beat. Hence, the name ghost.
It really depends on the type fo snare drum. For example parade drums are meant to be loud, but piccolo is a quieter drum due to its size. In the drum family, yes it probably is the loudest in perspective, but depending on how hard you hit it, it could be the bass drum as well.

depends on how you react to music. if it calms you, then yes you'll be quieter, otherwise if it makes you energized, then probably not
