Is this gun quiet enough to shoot in a residential areas?

If you mean shooting it in a large back yard, yeah. With solid backing material (1/2" plywood) and cardboard boxes and filler. Shooting at plastic water/soda bottles filled with water will slow down your projectiles well. This BB/pellet gun is no kiddie BB gun, like the Marksman Zombie Splat BB Repeater Rifle (which I also own; which is a lot more powerful than you would imagine, too), so treat it with respect and care for it. It's a nice rifle, though the pellet loading mechanism is little cumbersome/annoying. It would be nice if Daisy made a break-barrel...

Yes. 95% of our shooting is in our back yard.....surrounded by neighbors. No complaints. Neighbors actually asked to shoot it. Lol

The noise is somewhere between popping the 3/8 to 1 inch wrapping popcorns. Hope this helps.

It is not very loud as is. But to silence it the barrel would have to be threaded for a standard silencer. I only use it indoors, the pellet hitting the target is loader than the gun.

I only just picked up this gun the other day and tested it out last night. With only 7 shots through it (sighting it in), it is still fairly loud for a neighborhood, but I am hopeful that it will quiet down soon. I am using the heavier lead pellets.

This rifle is powerful and loud! A .22 handgun is quieter. I don't shoot it in residential areas because the neighbors would call the police due to the gun shot sound. JSB Diabolo Exact Monster pellets used.

This is an excellent Air rifle but it is not quiet. I would compare it to a 22 cal. Short round. I hope this is helpful.

yes it is backyard friendly. it is also a power full rifle. make sure you wear safety glasses. I have a gamo silence cat and they both sound the same to me.

That is a very hard question to answer. If you are thinking about your back yard and the neighbors hearing it, they will. It also looks so darn real, that it could easily be mistaken for a rear Dan Wesson. I shoot it indoors and it is a little loud, but not loud enough for ME to wear ears. Other people may be more sensitive. Hard to describe noise without a decibel meter.

The gun is not very loud shooting lead pellets. If you fire lighter pellets and they break the sound barrier, it is about as loud as a .22 rimfire rifle.

If your neighbor' house's is 15 feet from your, yes you would scare them. It is too powerful for small patios. It also depends on what kind of neighbors you have. Other than that the rifle is awesome.

Well dont be shocked, there are lots of guns that shoot well out past 50 yards and they are really quiet. I was shooting my buddies gun and we were shooting 4 inch groups at 60 yards easily. Not sure what his gun brand is though, I am going to get what he has since I know it works.

Yes. I bought it because I live in a second floor apartment and didn't want to disturb my neighbor downstairs. It's really quiet.

No, it's very quiet. About as loud as a hand clap. The most noise might come from your target. ie a window, a hubcap hanging from a string. It should not bother anyone. You can remove the Co2 canister, but you'll loose all the Co2. Since you have children, it would be best to keep it locked and out of sight. It's very powerful for a Co2 gun. Treat it like a real gun.

It's quiet but not silent - depends on how quiet your house is and how good your hearing :-)

This air rifle is not that "silent". It is as loud as Stoeger X50, louder than HW97K. I do not have tools to measure, so I cannot give you precise decibels.

No, not even close. This is actually very quiet. I use it to protect my tomatoes from squirrels. And if I miss from 30-40 ft away they don't get scared. A real gun would send them running from 200 ft away.
