 How loud is subsonic .22 ammo?

I will shoot 50 to 60 rounds of full power .22 ammo from my rifle all the time with out hearing protection. My 1/2" air impact gun is louder. (Manufacturer says 97, free spinning to 105 decibels, hammering.)

 How loud is subsonic .22 ammo?

I haven't fired a .22 for probably 30 years so I don't remember how loud they are. I mostly just do target shooting around here and shoot either .40, 9mm, or .357 pistols, .30 or .223 rifles or shotguns. Those are all pretty LOUD. So, you guys are probably right about .22 rifles noise being fairly quiet, I just don't remember and ASSumed they were loud based on current experience with other guns.

Ken,

You ASSummed VERY correctly. Before the Doc found a little something, I used to fire about 4,000 round of 12,20,28gauge, and 410 bore every year. I ALWAYS used hearing protection. I can tell you first hand that being exposed to even one shot of high powered ammo can cause severe hearing damage.

While zeroing my Sako Finn Bear 375 H&H, I mistakenly removed my hearing protection while the firer in the adjacent lane was firing his 460 Weatherby. I thought the all clear had been given....... NEVER again. My ears rang for days and my head hurt for several hours (a good bit of which was from the 20 rounds I fired in practice).

A 22 is more than likely not going to cause much if any hearing loss but it sure does not help the cause. The pellet rifle is the best course of action and if a 22 is required; fire a bolt action as a semi auto it much louder.

 How loud is subsonic .22 ammo?

I really haven't hunted game since I was a kid, used to hunt pheasants and rabbits. All I really ever shot was a 20 ga. and a common 22 rifle, so I'm a long ways out of touch with modern hunting. We have several different deer hunting seasons here now, bow, black powder, teen shotgun, adult shotgun, etc. I think the adult shotgun opened yesterday. I think they shoot rifled slugs, but whatever they are they must be quite loud at close range, you can hear them for a couple miles. Happy hunting. Frank.

My brother can almost drink straight tabasco sauce right from the bottle. He says it isn't as hot as it used to be.

Well they didn't change the recipe.... he burned out his taste buds using gallons of the stuff on his food.

So when I hear someone say they have shot xx billion rounds of .22 LR and they aren't loud and won't damage hearing..... I mentally add "not anymore!" to the end of that sentence.

Ken... Randy mentioned a Sheridan air rifle. It is the same product as the Benjamin I mentioned.

As far as sophistication, in europe they have had air rifles capable of taking deer at close ranges for a couple hundred years.

If you have the money, you can find air rifles that are charged from a scuba tank and will do anything a 22 LR will do and more.

Mark, the point is there's things a person does everyday that creates more noise than a 22 rifle. If someone is worried about opening the door and taking an occasional shot at a varmint with a 22 rifle, he should also worry about hammering nails, running a skill saw, being around an applauding audience, loud trucks driving down the road....

I'll pass on the scuba tank setup, but I'll have to check out a modern pump air rifle. My Sheridan .177 CO2 rifle is fairly accurate but I've found CO2 cartridges to be a pain.
