Will these pellets in combination with a Gamo Silent Cat air rifle be quiet enough to shoot in my backyard without attracting attention?

depends on your neighbors. my gamo hornet shoots in my .15 acres all the time...but my neighbors dont care if i eliminate some turd-spewing starlings.

They sould be I shoot them out of my pellet gun and they are quiet but I live in the back woods so I don't have to worry about that

Yes I use them with a silent cat all the time and have never had a problem. Hell I even cleaned the squirrels after in my back yard.

I shoot these in my back yard with my Silent Cat and if you are indoors or don't know what it is, you would probably never notice. My back yard is tiny, it's probably 30' to my back fence, with neighbors on all sides. These do not break the sound barrier when used with this gun.

Too many variables to answer this question. My backyard is pretty big, so my neighbors wouldn't care if I were firing a potato gun. You may have a different terrain than I do (or a different relationship to your neighbors for that matter) my 1/2 acre lot is mostly wooded and hilly. Sound echos and absorbs differently with different natural features. Ask your neighbors if the sound it makes bothers them- that's the only way to know for sure.

The gun I shoot the pellets out of and this is all pellet or bbguns the heveyer the pellet the quieter it will be because the heveyer the slower which means it is farther away from braking the sound barrier

Noise not too bad, but definitely plenty of noise for privacy, they won't be hearing anything..:)

It can be loud at times. Not all the time, but it happens at random. Sounds like a large caliber rifle. Not a 12 gauge. So it may scare a neighbor if they are outside.

Depends what gun you are shooting, I presume. It wouldn't be enough for me, I know that. Stick with the full headset type in my book! Lawn mowing--- might dull it, probably ok. Certainly not going to be quiet though.

I've not used these pellets for a long time. Although from what I recall from my experience, I believe the noise level was higher if not the same as other munitions I used previously.

any round that doesn't break the sound barrier will be quieter than ones that do. Besides the supersonic crack it's your rifle that controls the noise. You need to find out how fast your rifle will shoot these pellets and how quiet the rifle is in general.

No noise. You can use and re-use these for drills, for training kids to handle a gun, etc. It is also useful for being able to feel the chamber-loaded indicator (if present) without putting a live round in the chamber. p.s. Since there is no explosion, you have to manually rack the slide to eject the "empty" and load the next from the magazine.

They are very effective at removing steady background sounds, for example from aircraft engines as heard by passengers, or the air handlers and machinery noise in an office environment. They will muffle sudden sounds, but I do not think they would help much with the shock waves from gun shots since they are so fast and unpredictable.

No, they would not be good for shooting range noise. They are good for constant low frequency noises, but gunfire would still be heard. They are better off with those foam earplugs you can get from the the drugstore. I used to be on a rifle team and those help considerably.

It does seem to be louder. I just turned them down a bit while shooting is actually going on

I live in a similar neighborhood, I shoot it all the time in my backyard. The sound level is no louder than a hand clap, if that loud.

This pellet gun is very quiet, probably is backyard friendly in that regard. It is not a toy though.

I wouldnt be able to say for sure; I know firearms are a low muffle even firing at an indoor range. Sorry I cant help more!

These make zero noise...just dummy rounds. I use them for dry fire practice to prevent firing pin damage.

I don't have a Gamo Silence Cat or Benjamin Titan GP Nitro Piston, but the rws 34 is powerful and i think the neighbors will hear and i wouldn't recommend it.

No. It does not have as much sound as my .22 rifle; but, the gas expulsion as the pellet leaves the barrel is still loud.
