    Neighbours got double glazing? If so no worries at all. Was using 22 subs at my old place and the neighbours in the apartment next door didn't hear a thing (20?m)

    Probably the roof and walls had a bit to do with it now that I think about it.

    Just tell the neighbors you are going to be shooting possums with a .22 and they may hear it, they may not.

    Before .22LR there was .22 Short.

    .22 short non-suppressed out of a rifle barrel is no louder than most airguns, it packs about 2.5x the punch of a powerful springer 5.5mm air rifle, and is born subsonic.

    May have probs feeding out of some .22LR mags, or cycle semi-autos, so it's bolt action hand-fed single-shot.

    The first time I fired CCI Subsonic in my suppressed CZ452, I declared to my mate that I'd had a misfire. They are that quiet, and definitely quieter than a springer air rifle. The noise of the bullet hitting it's target is inevitable, but I don't think it's that loud or immediately identifiable as a gun shot.

    If your neighbours get annoyed with you shooting they should live in town. Try a cage trap on the possums aswell

    I bet my neighbors are much closer than yours, and they don't hear my suppressed 22 with CCI 40gr HP subs.

    Very quiet killers, as already mentioned the "plop" of a decent hit will be the loudest noise.

    There used to be Winchester 22 pistol shorts shooting a 29 gr bullet at 800 fps, they are quite also, my Crossman air rifle has more noise. These work well in my Krico bolt action and will feed from the mag as well.

    If they can hear 22 subs through your silencer 100m away inside-that silencer is junk.
    Bullet hitting the jacko should be loudest noise of all.
