The big question for all air guns: How quiet is it?

Completely, 100% silent. I couldn't believe how quite it was when I first shot the gun, I thought it was broken. But its actually that freaking quite.

Unbelievable if not for the hammer you would not be able to hear this rifle.

More quiet than a Gamo Whisper, about the same as my Henry loaded with Super Colibri shorts. In other words, neighbors won't know you're shooting.

Can't tell you how many decibels it is, (I think about 85) but all I can say is that it's "Backyard friendly." Just a "pop" when fired.

I've had this rifle for several months, use it in the garage and have to say it is pretty quiet. It is neighborhood back yard friendly for sure! There are some Youtube reviews that will give you more info on how quiet.

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.

Well dont be shocked, there are lots of guns that shoot well out past 50 yards and they are really quiet. I was shooting my buddies gun and we were shooting 4 inch groups at 60 yards easily. Not sure what his gun brand is though, I am going to get what he has since I know it works.

The noise level gets less as you break it in.It may take 50 to 100 RDS.It will get more accurate also during this period at longer ranges.The nitro produces less noise than the spring air rifles.

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.

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

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.

Even at the highest speed it is pretty quiet. If it's on medium or low, you can barely hear it at all.

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

It's quite loud. If you are looking for a quiet model this may not be for you.

This isn't a very silent rifle. I know it is quieter than other air rifles, but when a pellet is going that fast your gonna hear a good CRACK. When I shoot mine its pretty loud too. Heavier pellets seem more quiet, but I promise nothing. It is just a powerful therefore loud rifle. Regards.

No more than any other one I have owned, I would not say its quiet, but on par with other low priced vacs:-)

No. It's very loud definitely about 150 decibels when in a really confined sound tight space but it doesn't have the flash or concussion properties a real 'bang has. So for air soft and doing LE/mil training it works. It is a lot louder than I thought it would be though.

I saw a review on it, and they registered it at 86 decibels. I've just finished sighting mine in and to my ear it sounds not too abnormally loud. It sounds a little louder than it was on the video review. Remember that the sound will dissipate over distance, so that what sounds loud to the shooter's ear will definitely drop in decibels (quiet down) at about 50' away from the shooter.

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!

Don't know about the decibels but it is not very loud. I target shoot in the yard and no one notices. It is louder with a fresh CO2 cartridege but quiets down after a few shots.
