My first PCP was a Benjamin Marauder and I did not realize how quiet it was until I added more rifles from other manufacturers. In reading the reviews no one bothers to measure the noise output of the rifles but for me that is important as I shoot on my property.
Benjamin Measured noise for native PCP rifles

Many reviewers measure sound on new rifles but not always. Sound moderation is key to happy urban air gun fun.
M rods are pretty quiet for sure.

I dropped a couple of sparrows last weekend with my .177 cal Marauder. From where I sat, the pellet impact was alarmingly loud compared to the report of the gun. All I heard was a soft *ping* from the gun. Makes it my go-to gun for morning coffee in the garden.
I have to turn the power way down on my .177 cal DreamTac to be as quiet, and it still needs a moderator as the shroud provides no "hush" at all. Best I've found so far is a BuckRail modular modertor. I won't tell you it is quieter than anything else, but it's as good as my DonnyFL Tanto. But it does change the way the shot sounds. More like dropping a 2x4 on the floor.
