How quiet is this gun compared to other 1200 fps pellet guns?

Hi, it came with a small box of high speed bbs. It was very loud ...I went to Wal Mart and got some subsonic bbs. With those it is quiet.

It makes less of a report than Grandsons' BB gun. Very pleased with the unit. Have no comparison to other pellet guns since this the only one ever purchased. It is used for rodent control.

That depends on the pellet that you shoot. The composition pellets that Gamo supplies are as loud as a .22 cal rifle. Heavier pellets make less noise.

It isn't very quiet. It makes as much (if not more) noise than a nail gun. You should definitely be shooting into a substantial backstop. I've had Pellets penetrate 1/2" plywood at 10 yards.

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.

Compared to a .22LR on a scale of 1-10 with the LR being a 10 in noise, I'd say the .22 pellet is a 2 at most.

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 rated at 800 fps with BB's and 750 with light pellets.ThanksPyramyd Air Team

With light alloy pellets it's just under 1200 fps (very noisy), with 8.2 grain RWS Meisterkugeln lead pellets it's at 925 fps, and I'm now using Beeman Kodiak copper plated lead pellets (10.19 grain) which have given me the best accuracy with this gun, and shoot at 800 fps. Gun shoots the Kodiaks in 1" groups out to 40 yards with a clean barrel - good, very quiet gun.

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.

Well, there are a few variables to your question. I shoot mine in my yard with no complaints from the neighbors, but I have 10 acres of land. It is quieter than a .22 and doesn't give a loud crack but it is not exactly silent. If you know your neighbors pretty well, you might pay them a visit and explain you are going to be shooting a pellet rifle and they might hear a "popping noise" from time to time. If they know what it is they might not be upset.

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.

I don't know decibels. But I don't find it loud at all maybe once in awhile it will be loud but it's not as loud as I expected. But I'm shooting the lead pellets right now. It probably is louder with the other metal pellets

Hate to answer this, but really don't know. Fires so loud that I only us my Umarex Fusion now. Sounds like a 22 when shot, even kicks like it. Not quiet at all or what they said it would be. Hope you are happy with it, I am not.

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.

I believe the barrel is smooth bore. I've only shot BBs in this one. I haven't tried pellets

There really isn't a way to make this gun quiet. You are better off buying a marauder pistol if you want quiet shooting.

Sound will depend upon the round you are shooting. Normal weight pellets (~8.5 gr.) will not break the sound barrier of 1128 fps, hence no sonic "boom".....quieter shot. The alloy pellets (6.5 gr or less) will shoot faster than sound, hence it will be far louder as it breaks the sound barrier...sound is more similar to a .22 rimfire. Yes, a scope is an option as the gun has an 11mm dovetail groove.

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.
