[QUOTE="rammac, post: 1953370, member: 27761"] I can easily say that the noise isn't bad because I wear hearing protection, with or without a brake, I literally don't understand why people complain about the noise because I don't hear it. I understand how a brake is designed, I've actually built a few, that's why I can't understand the negative comments...until I read an article about sound testing brakes. This conversation made me do some searching for information about actual sound levels and from what I've read I can see why you would complain about a brake if you weren't wearing hearing protection. Just about everything that I shoot has a brake and I do a lot of shooting. And yes, all of my hunting rifles have brakes and all are. 30 caliber. But I still don't understand why you'd complain if you were wearing hearing protection unless you were using very poor sound suppression equipment. I learned to wear hearing protection early in my shooting experience but I progressed from cheap foam plugs to the expensive ear buds that I now use. If you want optimal sound protection then double up with ear buds and muffs. [/QUOTE]
