How loud is this rifle as I need to shoot in a neighborhood with houses 75 to 100 feet apart?

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.

The velocity is about 1000 ft/sec, less than the speed of sound of about 1100 ft/sec. It is not like a 22 rifle by any means. I would say it is not loud. If you were standing within 50 - 100 ft you would be able to hear the shot but you might not think that a rifle fired. For my grandsons I once purchased an air rifle that fired 1200 ft per sec. The gun sounded like a 22 rifle. I returned it.

The Blackhawk was only loud on the first shot. I think that was because there was a little residue oil in the barrel. Since that time I don't think that the pellet rifle would be too loud for the neighbors. Good shooting to you. Happy Holidays. Rod Gann

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 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.

This is an excellent Air rifle but it is not quiet. I would compare it to a 22 cal. Short round. I hope this is helpful.

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.

I just tested my alarm. It's SUPER loud (loud enough you can hear it a block away.) I don't think you can hear it 2-acres away though.

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.

I would say the sound is about half that of a 22 rifle, I don't think your neighbors would notice the sound unless they are extremely close

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.

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!

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

yes it is backyard friendly. it is also a power full rifle. make sure you wear safety glasses. I have a gamo silence cat and they both sound the same to me.

Not too loud. Same as most air rifles. My daughter wears hearing protection for safety. I do not. Great rifle for the cost.

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.

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.

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.

my two 10/22 have this, and they are quiet. now at 500 rds or so, add sub sonic ammo and a oil filter and you'll get a really quiet rifle.;)

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.
