What is the quietest silencer you have?

My S410E has a pencil thin shroud that works extremely well. I don't think its so much the shroud though. I think that AirArms just did a really good job of efficiently metering the air flow.

sumo is the largest I have. It does a great job on the AG’s I put it on. I bought it for my PP700 22 cal, pistol carbines can get loud. And I shoot pests and night and want to be silent.
But I also have a 3D printed mod for my S200 and makes it absolutely silent. And the S200 at 12 fpe is shockingly loud with nothing on it.
I have a 25 cal P35 and had a Cricket Tactical 25 cal. Both have excellent shrouds and a small moderator like a Tatsu is all they need to be silent.
So like what has already been stated, it all depends

Cans have become so mainstream over the past decade that I really don't think that a noob asking about them is very suspicious anymore.
Those fuel filter and solvent trap ads from places like Kinglyday on the other hand, now those are fishy.

I guess the quietest one I have is an empty air tank.….seriously though it’s whatever came stock on my Trail. Fortunately this is a college town and nobody cares.

I've got a DFL Tanto, Tatsu and a BuckRail modular moderator. Of the 3, the BuckRail does the best job with my .177 Dreamtac and it's half the cost of the DFLs.

I've got a Tanto on my HW95 and it works pretty well on that. Not that a springer really needs a high performance moderator, but it does quiet it down some and it's strong enough to act as a lever and I suspect that a printed moderator would eventually break if used in that manner.

Fx impact when it was tuned to FTTs. Somehow I turned the wheel and got it waaay off. Now it wastes so much air nothing could keep it quiet. I have to get it and the labradar to the range and get to the velocity I had set. I should then hear the hammer strike. It wears a pretty black DonnyFL right now. My HW springers with HW moderators are close enough to backyard quiet not silent. Be Well Brothers, 'dito.

Ive got tatsu, tanto, Huma 40, and the buckrail is the most effective on a few of the guns, specifically my loudest gun, moderates the sound level and makes the tone much more agreeable. I'd have to say my $40 cheap 3dP'd bucker. I like what I own, I quickly dispose of that which I don't. Been hearing good things about Silent Thunder Ordnances sarissa
.. im ordering one next payday. We shall see.

DFL's are oversized, "Idiot Proof", and loud! The quietest moderator is always going to be the ones sized correctly and tightly for the ammo it's shooting and has the most volume. The "Quietest Moderator" I have ever used in 5 years of shooting PCP airguns is the Huggett Astille. Most people don't like them because they look like a Dildo (Conical "Nose Cone" shape). If you don't care what it looks like and are concerned solely with a quiet moderator it's definitely worth checking out. The Huggett Atom, Belitta, and Snipe are also very good moderators. For reference, I have used Huggets (my favorite), DFL's, FX Empty cans, STO Sarissa and Faulx, 0db (very close to Huggett, same construction but slightly oversized), Impulse Air 1350, and an overbarrel Fox 600 series.
