I want to buy a 22 rifle tomorrow. I'm looking for something as quiet as possible because I need to shoot some stuff in my yard and don't need the neighbors to call cops if possible.
Is there noise test on these things?
Get subsonic ammo.
Subsonic ammo goes slower than the speed of sound, so you there won't be that crack that happens when the bullet breaks the sound barrier.
There are also ways to make illicit silencers. Check out YouTube.
For example, an empty 2 liter bottle of soda attached to the muzzle along with subsonic ammo will make a pretty quiet plinker.
That's illegal, though, so I'm of course not suggesting you do that.
