I think that my Huben could use some more dampening with a moderator affixed. I'm interested in what @JaceSpace1369 experiences with his.

@daddypaddy Definitely understandable. I'm still getting used to carrying this longer version around in the woods. The extra 5" makes a big difference to me.

The notos is a relatively quiet gun on it's own, so that's really quiet. I'm shooting the 28.5gr 223 VK slugs at 972fps, it's definitely quieter with my huma mod 30 but the gun doesnt like the .22 sized mod as it will produce flyers. I am hoping that it reduces the amount of noise by a good bit. And yeah, I prefer my guns on the shorter side, so if this insert can make it as quiet as with the Huma than that would be more than a good enough investment.
Kelly sells a plug that goes inside the shroud infront of where you secure the shroud with the screw to prevent least dust from blowing back and out of the vents.
Given that your in a basement I want to say that's not too bad. Factory set up is about as loud as a 17hmr with a can on it.
That's hearing safe in my opinion. shooting it outside with the insert and ldc, I would dare assume it's likely closer to 80- 85 decibels at least.
I will definitely share my findings this week once I get my hands on it.

i’m using the ios decibel x app and the phone is roughly about 12ft away from front of the muzzle. the db app shows the shot spike at 83.8 from the same location on the grass.

@JaceSpace1369 I was speaking of shroud designs where the vent holes are located close to the receiver.

That's what I am referring to as well. Kelly makes a plug to prevent the lead dust from reaching the vent holes towards the back and expelling near your face.
Ayy that's really quiet for putting out 70fpe

@JaceSpace1369 I have not seen a K1 with shroud vent holes on the receiver end of the shroud. The vent holes on mine are located towards the muzzle.

i taped over 4 of the 5 rows of vent holes to test for sound and kept it that way for about a week now.

Has it made a difference?
Only CF shrouds have them towards the receiver.

Yeah the price is nuts, arestactical has it for $230 which is a drastic drop in price from Huben. But still a pretty penny.

I received it but it doesn't fit in the shroud, I told the member and he mentioned that my unvented shroud is a different length than the vented shrouds. So he said I could this one but he made me a new one to my measurements. It should be here early next week, I think.

I was too lazy to grab my phone a photograph it. It looks like a 3D printed solid tube that is hollow in the center to allow your caliber of choice’s projectile to pass through unobstructed.
The insert seriously makes a noticeable reduction in sound when used in conjunction with a moderator. I’m running a Donny FL Tanto. I just tested it shooting five 18.1 grain diabolo pellets in .22 caliber. I was hitting what I was aiming at offhand. No evidence of clipping in that shot string.
To install it I removed the factory baffle stack. First I emptied the magazine, then I removed the moderator adaptor, next I took a wire to pull out the first 3 baffles. Then I tilted the gun muzzle down and the remaining baffles fell out into my gloved hand. I dropped in the insert in the direction of the arrow drawn on it. It was situated just below the threads on the end of the shroud. Finally I replaced the moderator adaptor.
Thank you @JaceSpace1369

Those who own both the Huben K1 and FX Impact M3/M4 in .25 caliber, how does the noise level compared at the same FPE, with and without Moderator?
Do these Huben K1 have the 1st cold shot syndrome (slow first shot fps after the gun sitting overnight or a few days) like Impact do?

Without a moderator the k1 is quieter regardless of power level. With a mod , the FX is the quieter one regardless of power. Now.
If you add 1 of the 3.D printed inserts on the K1 and add a moderator that may beat the FX, but I have yet to test that.
I've never experienced that with either gun.
