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.

it is very quiet like a dull pop but if people 20 feet away if outside might hear it. if they are inside they will not. if you have a basement try it there

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.

Yes, I shoot it in my backyard all the time. The neighbors haven't complained or called the cops yet.

In my opinion not at all loud, you can here it zapping bugs with a low volume crackle. Mine is about 50 feet from my patio and is not bothersome at all. My neighbor is about same distance and has never said anything to me.

I find that it is very fast, doesn't have as much delay in the recoil after pulling the trigger, nor as much recoil, so accuracy is improved, and a lot less noise. It's not silent like a PCP air rifle, but the noise level is quite a bit less.

The rifle is short compared to the average, it measures like 37 inches long. It definitely has more power than a bb gun, the average fps is 550~600 with lead pellets and up to 750fps with non-lead pellets. I recomend this gun for benginners and youth people.

I have Gamo big cat/1400 and it is very powerfull...it almost makes to much noise for me to shoot in my yard and I have 4 acres (afraid neihgbors).It is fun to shoot and seems very accurate.....I have been shooting it at about 100 feet.But I can't compair the two

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Not very loud, I shoot it in my backyard in a subdivision with no problems.

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.

That is a very hard question to answer. If you are thinking about your back yard and the neighbors hearing it, they will. It also looks so darn real, that it could easily be mistaken for a rear Dan Wesson. I shoot it indoors and it is a little loud, but not loud enough for ME to wear ears. Other people may be more sensitive. Hard to describe noise without a decibel meter.

Kind of a relative question, isn't it? It's a pellet trap. It's made to be shot at with a pellet gun. If you are concern with power of gun then err on the side of caution and get a trap for a .22. I use a 1200 Fps rifle without issue in my backyard, but at a range of 40-60 feet.
