Is the gun loud? Could I practice in my back yard without the neighbors complaining of the noise?

Negative...this gun is spring loaded and mechanically powered, not gas powered, so it sounds similar to a nerf gun.

Yes. It's loud. Boat and backyard no problem. Keep in mind when portable it takes D batteries. I plan to get rechargeables when spring comes around.

Yes, it's fairly noisy for hunting unless you find a way to silence it . But it's great for target practice where noise isn't a factor .

Not loud at all. My son loves its. He has a lot of nerf guns and enjoy everyone of them.

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.

No I wouldn't shoot continuously but its accuracy is remarkable, well maybe that's the shooter who is accurate. Practice somewhere else, then be accurate and one shoot should do it. lol It's not much louder than an air nail gun and if you shoot from in the house your neighbors will never know.

It ofcourse makes noise, but less than a lawn mower.You run it outside and I can hear it in the house, but it doesn't bother us.

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

It is very quiet when fired. mostly only hearing the spring. shoot it indoors all the time in winter.

Yes but it's still kind of loud obviously but if you use alloy pellets it's much louder, I mean that's just what I've experienced with my gun.

It's not too loud but it is loud.it comes with a silencer that gives it a nice smooth tone.without the silencer it is a very deep tone but you won't get pulled over by cops.

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.

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.

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.

Yes. 95% of our shooting is in our back yard.....surrounded by neighbors. No complaints. Neighbors actually asked to shoot it. Lol

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 shoot these in my back yard with my Silent Cat and if you are indoors or don't know what it is, you would probably never notice. My back yard is tiny, it's probably 30' to my back fence, with neighbors on all sides. These do not break the sound barrier when used with this gun.
