What sniper rifle has the quietest sound?

[gillotte]

I know they all have the same detection radius but I'm looking for what silenced sniper(or hell any weapon) that has the quietest actual sound played when it fires.

[PotatoAim2k1]

They are all the same, as for enemy detection distance.

Detection distance is based on weapon class (i.e. SMG, Shotgun, Sniper), rather than individual weapon. Lots of YouTubers have done extensive testing and there's a Reddit post somewhere with the ranges of suppressed vs. unsupressed alerts.


EDIT: I'm dumb. Leaving this up here as evidence that I am dumb.

Reread the post.

For OP, I'm not sure, haven't down much (any) testing. I would go for the lowest-damage rifles weapons first, as they are likely to be the most quiet, also try for small-caliber weapons.

exactly besides outside of 200m (which is no range for a SR) you can fire without silencer without being detected/heard... The sound of a weapon only goes 200m max for the enemy.
smaller calibre doesnt give lower sound or detecion.

When shooting the precise safety distances to remain undetected are below

Without silencer:

All Snipers 130m
All shotguns 109m
All LMG:s 109m
All rifles 93m
All SMGs 60m (~64m when suspected)
All pistols 49m

Silencer on:

All Snipers 48m
All shotguns 41m
All LMG 40m
All Rifles 34m
All Submachineguns 23m
All pistols 18m

Prediction: All guns: +4-5m when already suspected = enemy marker is flashing

Example: with ANY silenced rifle you will be suspected at 34m but from 35m you can empty a full clip without the detection. Just make sure you dont alert enemy with nearby bullet hits.

this is gold

The Mk14 has by far the quietest sound effect of all the weapons labelled as "sniper rifles" in game.

IMO: SR-25 (silencer) is king of silent, still has a big punch. Good for >~50m from nearest non-targeted. But if you want CQC near other enemies use a good quiet pistol and aim for head.
Otherwise, HTI from >100m, when multiple shot speed is not important. HTI kills in one shot right through many single walls, and much less bullet drop at <350m. X5Ti scope on both (switch to G28 when you might need to shoot down a chopper with HTI). HTI also does one-shot vehicle destroy, if you have taken all the skill points and medal for VHC destro. Long barrel to improve accuracy.

Thanks for all the answers but again: I know all the weapons have the same detection radius for that type. I'm asking for what weapons have the quietest sound when fired. Example: I love the Vector but I use the P90 because it sounds quieter and I'm looking for quiet weapons.

Are you looking for a quiet weapon as a matter of taste in the audio sound played, and not game mechanic?

0.5mm. Seriously, you can stand next to an enemy and he won't hear it. Combined with the fact that it's a one hit kill in almost every situation and has the range of a sniper rifle, that thing is idiotically overpowered.

[gillotte]

@admiraltigerclaw Yes. I'm looking for the quietest sounding weapons when the game plays the audio file.

Is this true? Seems very forgiving for an un-silenced sniper rifle. Maybe I should try this and consider throwing away supressors for sniper rifles.

everyone here seems to misunderstood you haha.

IMO the G28 has the quietest sound when fired. another option would be the MK14. Perfect if you wanna roleplay
