Which baffle do you have in it? If you have the standard or performance one you can drop down to the "quiet" baffle.

I have the quiet baffles and they don't seem all that loud. I think they have a nice low sound and do not give leave me with ringing ears like my Rinehart tru duals used to do.

Oh, D&D will be glad to sell you new baffles - if you can get yours out. Otherwise you need to replace the rear assembly. Call them, they are very helpful.

I have the Big Bore Quiet baffle. Still kind of loud on my build.

I did the struggle to pull the baffle (intending to add some wrap), only to find out it's already wrapped real solid.

I put it back in and forgot about it.

The wrapped perforated baffle is the quietest one you can use with your build, and it's really not that quiet.
