Loudness: it is noisey for an air rifle. A .22 rimfire short fired from a bolt action 20inch rifle barrel makes less noise.

Not that loud. Just a little louder than an air soft or paint ball gun. It's more of a ping sound. I shoot mine in my backyard and have had no complaints.

I cannot hear the sound. however, you may want to check your municipality's sound ordinance. I you are not exceeding those decible levels, then you have little to worry about.. Guns are noisy, so what!os

No. It is louder than a BB rifle, but it's not too loud for the neighborhood. I live in a city subdivision, and use it to "discourage" squirrels from ravishing my back yard garden. I find the Crosman Nitro to be very accurate, so I only need to "discourage" the squirrel once.

It is very quiet when fired. mostly only hearing the spring. shoot it indoors all the time in winter.

I don't know how close your neighbors are so I can't say. I shoot mine from the back deck into the yard and my wife doesn't hear me from inside the house. In truth she is three rooms away from me. I haven't noticed my neighbors paying any attention to me at all. I live in a subdivision and there is a woods behind my yard so it's a couple of hundred feet to the nearest neighbor's house. I'm shooting subsonic so there's no boom. I'm pleased with how quiet mine is.

The velocity is about 1000 ft/sec, less than the speed of sound of about 1100 ft/sec. It is not like a 22 rifle by any means. I would say it is not loud. If you were standing within 50 - 100 ft you would be able to hear the shot but you might not think that a rifle fired. For my grandsons I once purchased an air rifle that fired 1200 ft per sec. The gun sounded like a 22 rifle. I returned it.

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

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

I would say yes to all 3 questions. When I first got the gun it was pretty loud. For one thing, the pellets that came with it were high speed and broke the sound barrier; so there was a pretty loud crack comparable to a 22 long. After it breaks in at about 100 rounds it quiets considerably, and a subsonic pellet will get rid of the crack, and will be a lot more accurate. When a tiny round like a .177 goes supersonic it gets bounced around by the shock wave pretty good. The only downside I can think of on this rifle is it's a tad on the heavy side when compared to others in it's class and price range. I actually like that because I think a little mass makes the gun more accurate and reduces the recoil. Believe it or not, these high powered pellet guns actually do have a pretty noticeable kick. As far as quietness goes after it's broken in, I'd say it's about like the sound a tablespoon would make when dropped on a wooden table from about 12 inches.

It's loud. It is the only crossbow I have ever owned so I don't have anything to compare it to. I have always heard that it is the way it is with crossbows.

Yes you would. It wouldn't be a loud ping but it will make a noise. Now if you're shooting it with a rifle from 100 yards away, you probably will not.

Yes it's not bad, i shoot mine in my backyard. It is quieter than my more expensive guns.

Fireworks and gunfire are similar in decibel levels, from what I understand. When I'm at the range, these prevent the noise from being painful but it's still loud. They won't block out all the noise but will make it bearable.

No I don't think it's overly loud. I use it alot and the hum doesn't bother me. In NYC I have more noise with the windows open. I am very happy with this model.

Not very noisy at all. Since I use it outside, what little sound it produces is not a problem.

it is a break bbl. and assuming it has rifleings, most guns do for accuracy. it is accurate,let me point out also-its very loud-.thats the #1 problem with this air rifle,advertized as quiet,but to me its as loud as a .22 rifle.
