Very cool. Have you ever tried moderating it to see the sound difference? Out of curiousity.

consistent mid 80s dB at the barrel.

No, It's quiet enough as is. In any case I'm thinking of upgrading to a Daystate or something else a few steps up but still "traditional" looking.

My Cricket Tactical 60 in .22 fitted with a short Huma moderator and an air stripper is the quietest airgun I got until now. If I could get rid of the "ping" noise I probably could'nt tell if I was shooting or not

My .22 FX Wildcat Sniper .22 with factory moderator. The 22 grain FX slug slamming into a squirrel or chipmunk is louder than the rifles report.

Gendoc, I was looking at the photo in post #26 and noticed the quick connect in your line. Typically those quick connects are max 300 psi. Yours might be rated higher but generally they’re made from stainless when for higher pressure.

The best i have ever heard is the air venturi avenger .22 cal. my friend bought the adapter and that was about 6 inches long then put some kind of moderator on there that i have never seen and man we're we surprised. i have 3 nice air rifle one is Daystate huntsman regal .22 the other is Air Arms S510 .22 and the last is the FX Dreamline .22 and that Air Avenger make's my air rifles sound like a shotgun that's how quiet his was. SHOCKED

These days I struggle more with the sound of slug impact. That’s really much louder that most off the shelf pcp’s
That being said….AZ shrouded hmx is easily my quietest

Can you say more about this? I have an FX Wildcat MK3 BT Compact (a well-known brand and model, I think), tuned by a well-known retailer, with a big-name moderator on it, and it's still Very Loud, IMO. Not earpro loud, but these 'just hear the tink' -- I'm nowhere near that. Sounds closer to a .22LR than a 'tink.' How do you investigate dwell cycle/excess air?

Not an FX tech & don't work with them .. so not able to help in specifics.
Said ... if your pushing on your compact for power, it having a shorter barrel ... there's your issue.
More barrel length and milder tune can equal similar output tho far less noise ... OR, turn down your power and noise should fall away too.
