I have an L-1, and it is all that & a bag of chips. Super quiet, and I will say "Hollywood quiet" out of a Savage MkII....with CCI standards the loudest noise is the bullet impacting the target backer, followed by the whiz of the bullet in flight, followed by the muzzle pop that is probably about as loud as opening a can of Mountain Dew. It is quieter to my ear than my Remington Nitro Piston air gun that I have used for clandestine suburban nuisance neutralization ops.
