(From a coyote hunter and owner of this airsoft gun perspective) This airsoft gun is not very loud so chances are that would not scare it off, the coyote may run away if you shoot it with this but chances are it will be back soon, coyotes are on the predator list in some states and i do not know if you live in one of them, but if you do you could just shoot it with a regular gun or a bow, if not you could trap it with a large box trap and let it go somewhere else, but hey if you want it's worth a shot to shoot it with this, good luck.

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.

Yes - I live where many coyotes share the environment. I never had to whack one - but see them all of the time all over my area, in my yard; etc. I think if you had to this walking stick is strong enough.

Yes it's not bad, i shoot mine in my backyard. It is quieter than my more expensive guns.

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.

Hi,The Yard Sentinel is very effective against Coyotes. We would recommend using the cat/dog range indicated on the frequency unit as a guideline for setting the unit for dogs.Rick JCustomer serviceDeal Republic

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 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.

No, it isn't that loud, however if you want to set it off in your home or in an indoor environment be careful, keep it at least 3 feet away from you and you should be fine. I have had one blow up right atmy feet about two feet away from me while crouching down during an airsoft match, I only got startled, my ears were not damaged. But just to be safe keep it at a distance.

I would equate it to a door chime. It's loud enough for me (hard of hearing). I have the alarm on a tree in the driveway and it will chime 13 times when something passes it. I haven't tried the alarm but understand it's pretty loud. It will pick up squirrels, deer and other critters that pass through. I'm happy with it.

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.

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!

This gun shoots 7.9 gr lead pellets right at 1000 fps. That is WAY more power than needed for rabbits, squirrels, and birds, including crows. At ranges to 30 or 35 yards, it is also enough power to kill groundhogs, possum, and raccoon with head shots! Not suitable for larger game like coyote though. And it is VERY lethal if you put the pellet where it should go!

I believe so, don't under estimate it and don't try to test it on yourself. A mere sparking sound can scare most fierce dogs away, even wild animals; be sure it is always fully charged.

It makes more noise than a BB gun but much much less than a 22 rifle. I had the same concerns about neighbors when shopping for a pellet gun. One of the reviews of the Ruger Air Hawk said it was too loud. The Black hawk, not as powerful, was said to be less noisy. The first few shots were loud, but as I sighted in the scope it settled down noise wise. Also lead pellets are not a loud as the synthetic ones. The power - 1000 fps, the weight, and the name, sold me on the Black hawk. I did opt for a better Center Point scope instead of the one included but I love my Black hawk.

This rifle is powerful and loud! A .22 handgun is quieter. I don't shoot it in residential areas because the neighbors would call the police due to the gun shot sound. JSB Diabolo Exact Monster pellets used.

I have not purchased this ultra sonic device and I have no idea why I keep receiving questions on this product. I purchased 18 Nite Guard Solar Predator Control Lights which are placed in a large circle around our house. We had a problem with coyotes coming near the house between dusk and dawn, which caused the dogs to start barking, waking us up, etc. Since installing these flashing red lights over 2 years ago, we have not had any coyotes near the house at night. We also have bobcats, but to my knowledge, the bobcats have not come near the house so I do not know if the lights are a bobcat deterrent. We have 5 dogs (ranging from a toy Yorkie to a 72 lb. greyhound), 3 cats and we live in a rural area with all kinds of wildlife. Personally, I would not rely on any device, or even our 8' high fence, to protect our animals from bobcats or coyotes. If the animals are outside, even inside the 8' ft high fence, a human is always with them. I saw the other response of the scarecrow sprinkler and I plan on buying several of these sprinklers to scare away bunnies, etc. once I finish my green house and new vegetable beds, but I doubt a sprinkler will stop a hungry bobcat or coyote from jumping a 4' fence.
