[ARCHIVED THREAD] - noise from Vortex

Posted: 12/22/2006 5:30:43 PM EDT

I just got to shoot and zero my new 11.5in upper today.. Shoots great but damn that Vortex Ting noise is annoying..
I dont remember the noise on my 16in. Is it just more noticable cause it is a 11.5 or just cause I have not shot the 16in in a long time??
I would imagine that there is nothing you can do about it, right
Thanks

tunning fork noise?

normal for the vortex most of the time

Side affect of the way the Vortex works.

Nothing you can do about it? You could put a sound suppressor on it

The 4.5" reduction of the barrel does make a difference, and the Vortex just amplifies the situation a bit.

Hmm unless you're wearing electronic ear-muffs the muzzle blast would be a bit more annoying don't ya think?

I don't see how anyone hears the buffer tube or Vortex noise.

All I hear is a big bang.

It will start to go away as the tines blossom and break.

I hear the buffer noise but not the Vortex.

I can never hear the sprioong noise or anything else other than bang

I can hear the buffer spring noise, but it's more of a "shhhhh-chk!" noise than a "sproing" noise. I don't have a Vortex (yet), so I can't say much about it.

You should try a HK53, the ping is very bad.
