Here's a few things you can try: First, make sure that your back block is not touching the body of the gun when it's in the forward position. It should be as close as possible without touching. That will help eliminate/reduce the sound of the block slapping against the body each time the gun cycles. $Cost=0 Next, try lowering the cycling pressure (front reg). The lighter the hammer spring, the lower the pressure required to cycle the gun. $Cost=1 spring set ($10-$15) Then, try to run the gun at a lower input pressure. This is more difficult and potentially more expensive. You should start with trying a lighter hammer and lighter valve spring (changing the valve spring will require a valve tool). If you want to get lower than that, a new valve might do the trick (AKA Tornado, Maddman Rocket...good thing you've got that valve tool). You want to go lower? A new bolt might help a little (ie AKA Lightning bolt is one popular choice) Cost=$10-$150 Finally, every barrel has a different sound. Differing materials, thicknesses, and porting will all contribute to a louder/softer gun. Beyond that, I don't have any other ideas :)
