How loud is this pellet gun? I use a Gamo Whisper now and am afraid this will be very loud in a neighborhood.

I am not familiar with the whisper. CX-4 makes a nice pop, but its not like a .22 or anything.

I would say it is not terribly louder if at all than the whisper but because it is 30 rounds it could annoy some people. If you live in a house with a good size backyard you should be fine. I haven't had complaints and I live in an apartment. I will say it is definitely on the lower end with accuracy though...hope it helps.

It's a .22 pellet rifle. Accurate with scope already zero'd in. About 70% quieter than conventional pellet rifle tha do not have the noise dampened at the muzzle. Hope this proves useful.

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.

This gun is quieter than the spring loaded gun I had before & I have no idea on other guns. If you want quiet try looking on U Tube on how to make a silencer for a bb gun. This gun is better than the spring loader I had. Buy the oil to keep the gasket from getting hard. A really good gun

probably not the bone collector is a great gun for the price, but louder than the whisper shot a squirril a few days ago with mine and the pellet went through the ribs and came out the other side suggest you try for the heavier, slower pellets if you shoot at short to medium distance slower speed less noise generaly, more speed, more noise one of the reasons I prefer 22 over 177

It depends on what type of ammo you use. Alloy ammo will break the sound barrier giving you that cracking sound like a small rifle. If you use lead it's pretty quiet but fires around 1100 fps. That's still deadly though. The silent stalker will be more quiet but less power.

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

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.

i think its supposed to be loud. this gun is decent. ive had this gun for about 1 1/2 yrs and is still durable so the trigger pull should last you for awhile

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.

I owned several Crosman pump action air rifles in the past and while this Gamo rifle is piston in action, it is not as loud as the distinctive pop that you will hear from one of the Crosman time for Daisy pump action units. Also the pop you might hear when firing the gamo is likely from the pellet hitting the sound barrier.

try 'heavier' pellet, like 7.9 gm or heavier. Then, much quieter and still lots of impact on target.

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.

they are as loud as your pellet rifle is....these pellets AREN'T good quality, consistent size, and many are smashed into strange shapes. Gamo seems to be junk from China and I buy different brands after this purchase.

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.

There is no loud crack sound using the hollow pellet with the crossman air rifle. In fact the sound is not very loud. But it may not be breaking the sound barrier since it's rated at 1000fps and I believe sound is 1116fps.

Hi Knothead. I would estimate it to be about 1/2 as loud as a .22 LR. It's about the same volume as an air nailer used in construction. I've found that many times, the "thwak" of the pellet hitting the target (a piece of plywood or a tree) is louder than the actual report. Like many air guns, the Venom will get quieter as it's broken in, so if it's too loud for you at first, keep shooting and it should quiet down pretty well. Hope this helps!
