a quick noise heard that may echo
The report is the sound of the gunshot.
The sound of a rifle firing is often described as a "gunshot" or a "bang." It is a loud, sharp noise created by the explosion of gunpowder inside the rifle's chamber propelling the bullet out of the barrel.
Sound of an artillery shell exploding is "crump." A rifle shot is "crack."

The Barrett M107 .50 caliber sniper rifle is known to shoot faster than the speed of sound. The speed of sound is approximately 1,125 feet per second, while the Barrett M107 has a muzzle velocity of about 2,800 feet per second.

It is possible, and in the history of silenced weapons it may have been done for some special purpose such as assassination, but the rifle will still make an audible sound. With any rifle, the bullet will hit the target before the sound reaches it anyway, and that time is increased by the extra range of a sniper's rifle, so there is little point in silencing them for most wartime applications. The sound emitted can be reduced further still by using subsonic ammunition, but this is less effective, and also can reduce the effective range.
Do you mean "What sound does a rifle make"? If you do, it makes a very loud "pop" similar to shooting a cap gun but about 1o times louder.

The FIRST sound would be the crack of the bullet making a sonic boom- most travel faster than the spped of sound. The second is the sound of the gun firing- it takes longer for the sound to get to you than the bullet takes to get to you.
Could be several different reasons. Are you using the same weight pellet. Different pellets create a slightly different sound. Also a new rifle has a break-in period, it takes about 100 to 200 shots for an air rifle to break in. The air chamber settles down over time. Or it could be just where you are standing. If you are close to a wall the sound bounces off the wall back to you. Also never dry-fire a pellet rifle this will damage the air cylinder and never leave an air rifle cocked for days on end, it will damage the spring.
The discharge of a muzzle-loader is loud, without question, but it's not significantly different than a contemporary rifle. If the bullet misses the deer, the sound will most likely scare it.
