This one is pretty darn loud - the first time I shot it over the chrony, I was too close and it read the speed at 3300 fps! Imagine that in the outdoors - like a loud rifle. There are some airguns that claim to be 'mouse-fart' quiet, but I don't own one. The Gamo Whisper ($200+) is supposed to be quiet, but I can only see them taking the 'bang' out - which may be enough. I have a carbon fiber muzzle brake for the 22 airgun It reduces noise a little, but hurts accuracy.Now if you really want a nice airgun, get a 'tuned' model from this website. I wouldn't settle for anything less than one with pictures of a shot grouping of 5 shots at 40-50 yards that can be completely covered by a nickle. You can find a really good one for <$200 and some have ldc's (think silencer) attached. https://www.network54.com/Forum/79574/Most towns allow BB/airguns to be used in the city... but I don't think this big guy falls under the spirit of that law :roll:
