Um....really? Did you just post a video to show that the sound isn't as loud as it would be in person??? I'm trying not to insult you but even a child understands that if you watch a firework explode in person or a cannon go off in person it's much louder in person. And there is NO correlation to hearing it on a video. Did you really just.....nevermind."keysersoze"Ok a rod you wanted a mor complete answer ill give you one.
First off posting video in order to quantify decibels is worthless
Don't believe me ? Listen how mouse fart quiet these 12 gauge shotguns sound. You don't even need hearing protection...
Maybe you missed it but I put my iPhone in there with a dB meter showing. One that's free so everyone can download it and play around with it and make their own judgements about it. And I said it's far from perfect. I'll add this.....on my iPhone my compass works pretty well. it's not perfect but surprises me how well it works. The camera works pretty well on there too (in fact it's better than my 10 year old camera). I have a heart rate monitor that I use with my iPhone and it works pretty good too. I use Strava app to map my distance when I run or ride a bike. It's not perfect but it works pretty well too. Long story short, my friend, I'm going to say throw out there that my iPhone does tons of stuff that just 10 years ago I never would have imagined a phone doing. And none of it is perfect but I'll throw a number out there....and it's just my opinion....I'm going to say that most everything on my iPhone works about 90% as good as a dedicated instrument. That's just my opinion. And I know absolutely 100% NOTHING about decibel measurement instruments. I know very little about sound other than Taylor Swift's sound has improved with her most recent album. (I own TWO full size American trucks so I have enough testosterone in me to be comfortable in my heterosexual manhood while listening to T Swift). anyway, I'm going to say that the free app to measure sound is about 90% as good as a real sound measuring instrument. I have no basis to make that claim!
Now finally, regarding sound and this gun. I've never shot a Vulcan but based on your measurement of it's sound and reading and talking to others about it, I believe it's sound to be quite loud, over 100dB. And my experience with the Wildcat .25 I believe it would be a minimum of 20dB quieter than the Vulcan (probably more like 30dB quieter). Again, never seen one in person, just what I suspect to be true.
It's become clear to me that you don't like FX. Someone should write a book on the psychology of people online and recommending products. The whole "fanboy" stuff is dumb and gets really old. btw, my next airgun purchase will likely be a Vulcan. I like that gun a ton and how they are innovative in putting the bolt on the left side, and changeable to the right side, definitely impresses me. I love the stock too.
