what does this rifle sound like when fired

Kind of a springy sound, like "doink". Most of the sound is the mechanism sound of the spring and the piston hitting the end of the cylinder. Actual muzzle report is very limited as the gun (the barrel is not rifled!) has relatively little power.

Like a nprmal BB gun pretty quiet. No need for hearing protection. Its a 10 meter gun. It wont pierce an alum can at that range.

well does it make any noise at all when you pull the trigger? It could be jammed or the battery could be faulty.

My first air rifle was a pumpmaster. The hornet is much louder, as is any break barrel rifle. It's not so loud that it will cause problems, I shoot in my backyard daily, but it is a serious rifle, so it makes a bit of noise at the action, and light ammo may make a super sonic clap.

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.

NO! These are dummy rounds to dry fire your firearm. They make NO sound. Great for practice in aiming and trigger control. Great for familiarizing yourself with the pressure needed to fire your gun. All you hear is the sound of your firing pin of your firearm hitting the center of the dummy round. You may want to look for BLANKS for scaring birds & such. Clapping loudly works to scare birds. They think it is gunfire. Try it...or firecrackers. Good Luck.

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

yes, The trigger makes a subtle "click" sound when the trigger is pulled, similar to a weapon being dry fired.

Hey Tim, yes these are the ones that just make the sound and look like a shot was fired. These blanks are loud, I recommend these blanks!

Its a break barrel, so when you bend the barrel down (break it) to load it cocks the internal compressor, and then you just pull the trigger to fire it. Velocity around 500 to 600 fps...best guess.

Not very loud, similar to any other air rifle. I am not sure how you would silence it.

The gun is about as quiet as any other medium power pellet rifle. If your neighbours are indoors, I doubt they would hear it. Probably a good idea to inform your neighbours of your intent to shoot a pellet rifle in the backyard and make sure you check the local municipal and/or state/provincial laws regarding the discharge of air guns where you live.

I shoot mine inside and outside and find it quiet but I don't hunt with it either.Check with Grossman or eBay or look it up on utube and see if anybody's done it yet. Good luck.I hope this helped!

It's not as loud as I expected. However, If you live in close proximity to neighbors, they may hear it discharge. The rifle is fairly heavy.

Maybe a little bit of oil on the cocking mechanism, and a good microfiber cloth to beep the scope clean. I have had mine for nearly a year, use it fairly regularly and have had 0 issues with it since purchase.

It is not very loud as is. But to silence it the barrel would have to be threaded for a standard silencer. I only use it indoors, the pellet hitting the target is loader than the gun.

The Gamo Whisper air rifle does have a rifled barrel and is not very quiet.

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