Is this more quite when firing then the gamo bone collector because I have the bone collector and it's loud !

No......the whisper pro is loud too. If you use the platinum pellets it breaks the sound barrier and fires like a 22 rifle. It's not good in the city limits.

It has a loud crack due to breaking the sound barrier. I'm not familiar with the bone collector.

Yes it sounds like a cap gun not as loud as a shotgun but I wear earplugs when using it

I saw a review on it, and they registered it at 86 decibels. I've just finished sighting mine in and to my ear it sounds not too abnormally loud. It sounds a little louder than it was on the video review. Remember that the sound will dissipate over distance, so that what sounds loud to the shooter's ear will definitely drop in decibels (quiet down) at about 50' away from the shooter.

Hi Knothead.I would estimate it to be about 1/2 as loud as a .22 LR. It's about the same volume as an air nailer used in construction. I've found that many times, the "thwak" of the pellet hitting the target (a piece of plywood or a tree) is louder than the actual report. Like many air guns, the Venom will get quieter as it's broken in, so if it's too loud for you at first, keep shooting and it should quiet down pretty well. Hope this helps!

they are as loud as your pellet rifle is....these pellets AREN'T good quality, consistent size, and many are smashed into strange shapes. Gamo seems to be junk from China and I buy different brands after this purchase.

Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I sent my bone collector back because I had good Hawke optics (check them out, real nice lenses, just get one rated for airguns) ... well long story short this thing was shooting randomly with real bad groupings, I'm talking 6 inches at 25 yds. If you can still send it back, look at the Crosman offerings, I got a cheaper crosman springer that was deadly accurate with the same scope.

i think its supposed to be loud. this gun is decent. ive had this gun for about 1 1/2 yrs and is still durable so the trigger pull should last you for awhile

This isn't a very silent rifle. I know it is quieter than other air rifles, but when a pellet is going that fast your gonna hear a good CRACK. When I shoot mine its pretty loud too. Heavier pellets seem more quiet, but I promise nothing. It is just a powerful therefore loud rifle. Regards.

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.

Levels of Loudness can be perceived differently but I would compare the sound at the decibels of a kids cap gun if that loud. Depending on what target is used, that sound can be louder than the firing of the gun.

There is no loud crack sound using the hollow pellet with the crossman air rifle. In fact the sound is not very loud. But it may not be breaking the sound barrier since it's rated at 1000fps and I believe sound is 1116fps.

It is one of the quieter ones out there. Perhaps it is because it is a lower velocity gun.

mine is pretty loud and hard as heck to break the barrel..... so i don't use it to much.

As pellet guns go, it's pretty loud. Very similar to a .22LR rim fire. My son used to shoot his in our backyard that was 30'x15' with neighbors on all sides. (Supervised with positive backstop) no neighbors complained but they could have. I hope this helps.

It is a little loud, but I wouldn't consider it a concern. If you use alloy pellets, they could break the speed of sound and create sonic boom. Use the heavier pellets and it isn't that bad.

Louder than others would lead you to believe, especially if it's quiet at night. I shoot one in a building behind my house and my wife can hear me shooting when she's inside the house. So it does make a bit of noise. As for CO2 - no, you can't remove and reuse the cartridges. Also, removing a charged cartridge will lead to excessive CO2 discharge that may fry the seals. Leave the CO2 in a few days until discharged, it won't hurt.

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.
