How noisy is this rifle compared to the Crossman .177?

I do not own a Crossman .177 to compare to, but in general the .22 Nitro is quieter due to the lower fps and no spring to make noise from, as the pellet is not breaking the sound barrier. To break the sound barrier the pellet needs to travel about 1100 fps. The .22 version only travels at about 900 fps, but has more energy behind it. I own the .22 and I would not go back to the .177.

es mas silencioso que el crossman, y ademas pega muy fuerte, he medido distancias de 150 metros, no lo cambio por nada

The decibel rating 91, according to a video I watched. So, loud enough to be careful shooting places like between houses, but out in the open it would be perfectly fine.

It does not have a silencer. None of these break barrel pellet guns do. It has what is called a ported muzzle brake. It is one of the least loud of my four different brands I have. However the first time I shot it with the .177 barrel, it was almost as loud as a 22 Long riffle but that was because it burned off the oil in the barrel. After 2 or three shots, it was quite. I shoot mine in the back yard all of the time. Sometimes for hrs. at a time. I have neighbors all around me. No complaints. Also this gun is dead on and powerful. Great gun! I got mine at Walmart for $99.95.

It's a little noisy at first, I did clean it as instructed first thing (I used long pipe cleaners and my gun cleaner). As I used the rifle it did quiet down some. The sound reminds me of a cap gun at first, I've been using mine in the backyard and haven't had any complaints. I guess it depends on your neighbors.

Yes it is loud, breaks the sound barrier every shot. I use/bought the gun for Ground Squirrel control on a horse property. First shot and the Squirrels know what is up and hit their holes. I may try to silence it if possible, but the power and accuracy is great. I recommend the gun, built in Spain, not China and it shows.

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.

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!

This is a single shot break barrel type pellet rifle. It is not a quiet pellet rifle as I found out. It seemed almost as loud as a 22 caliber rifle and packs quite a punch for a pellet gun.

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.

I had a Remington previously to this new one and I'd say the noise is about the same. Not very loud. This is an excellent razor.

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.

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

the beeman rs2 has a spring.. and a nice one at that, it pushes a .177 in the 750-1000 fps range. nice gun.. i love mine!

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.

As pellet guns go, it's pretty loud. Very similar to a .22LR rim fire. My son used to shoot his in our backyard that was 30'x15' with neighbors on all sides. (Supervised with positive backstop) no neighbors complained but they could have. I hope this helps.

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.

Not that far, maybe 100 feet or less. Solid built rifle, but get a better higher power scope. 10 times quieter than my Gamo that says its quiet but sounds like a firecracker when shot. Have no problems shooting targets as small as a pecan. Just remember that CO2 changes your sight picture as the barrel gets colder, so after 5 plus shots its dead on.

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.
