Is it very loud? Comparing with Silent Stalker Whisper .177

Yes it is loud, breaks the sound barrier every shot. I use/bought the gun for Ground Squirrel control on a horse property. First shot and the Squirrels know what is up and hit their holes. I may try to silence it if possible, but the power and accuracy is great. I recommend the gun, built in Spain, not China and it shows.

Hello there. If you are outside, it is not loud at all. Inside, there might be some.

It depends on what type of ammo you use. Alloy ammo will break the sound barrier giving you that cracking sound like a small rifle. If you use lead it's pretty quiet but fires around 1100 fps. That's still deadly though. The silent stalker will be more quiet but less power.

Its practically silent compared to other rifles, I live in a very urban erea and I've never had any problems with the noise

It sounds like a light 22 rifle. Definitely not a toy sounding gun for sure. I was amazed that it could make that much sound from a simple single barrel cock.

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!

It's about as loud as a vacuum. But being on the countertop puts it closer to your ears and kitchens are mostly hard surfaces. I find it uncomfortably loud so I keep a pair of inexpensive ear muffs in the cabinet over my Versa. Otherwise I am very happy with its performance as a smoothie maker.

That is a particularly difficult question to answer - mostly it's the individual person's judgment as to whether or not something is "loud." It is NOT whisper quiet, but certainly not louder than a fan, which is exactly what is inside the Excalibur that produces the sound. I experienced a slight hearing loss while in the military, and it makes hearing (clearly) difficult in noisy environments, but I can carry on a conversation while this is in operation and I'm in the kitchen. When we lived in an apartment, my spouse had it on the dining room table which shared the same space as the living room. No problems there either. I would say if you had it in your bedroom, and preferred absolute silence, it might annoy you. Hope this answers your question.

It does not have a silencer. None of these break barrel pellet guns do. It has what is called a ported muzzle brake. It is one of the least loud of my four different brands I have. However the first time I shot it with the .177 barrel, it was almost as loud as a 22 Long riffle but that was because it burned off the oil in the barrel. After 2 or three shots, it was quite. I shoot mine in the back yard all of the time. Sometimes for hrs. at a time. I have neighbors all around me. No complaints. Also this gun is dead on and powerful. Great gun! I got mine at Walmart for $99.95.

It is whisper quiet. For goodness sake, how can someone else be the judge of your white noise needs? It's 30 bucks! Buy the d*mn thing and try it for yourself. If you don't like it you can sell it again here.

I have the 140 in my kitchen and it is not noisy at all. The only noise it makes is when it's pumping water into the heating chamber and it's not enough to even think about. I love mine it's bullet proof.

I don't have much to compare it against, but I'd say its slightly loud, but not too bad. If it is completely silent, it's very noticeable, but otherwise, its not too bad.

I have not heard the hum so it must be quiet. I bought mine last Summer and it is great. I brought it outside and let it project into my canopy of trees. Incredible. Being it is LASERS I would say do not drop it or let anyone look directly into it. But it is a great buy I will never regret.

It's not silent, obviously, and I don't have any other generators to compare it to, but to me it seems relatively quiet. When I run it out on the driveway about 8 feet from the garage with the exhaust pointed away, I can't hear it in my house unless I go upstairs to the room directly over the garage. Even then, it's not particularly loud. I certainly don't need ear protection when I'm standing next to it. There are some videos on youtube you can listen to, such as: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqIPeDCumrY

Honestly, the first couple shots were almost as loud as my Remington .22, but after 10+ shots it has quieted down a lot. No where near as loud now.

It is not whisper quiet. You will know when it is running. I have it outside of the house and when I am indoor with all windows and doors closed, I can hear it. Nothing too crazy, but can be heard.

I don't think its that loud as long as you use lead pellets like crossman 14.3. Lead free lighter pellets will sound loud. If you want an extremely quite pellet rifle get a benjamin marauder 22 or 177 synthetic and a hand pump. It will cost more but your neighbors won't know your shooting and the rifle is more accurate.

Not too loud. Same as most air rifles. My daughter wears hearing protection for safety. I do not. Great rifle for the cost.

my two 10/22 have this, and they are quiet. now at 500 rds or so, add sub sonic ammo and a oil filter and you'll get a really quiet rifle.;)
