The 430mm 6.03 actually gives you the perfect cyl volume to barrel ratio. The piston "hits" (more like a gentle caress) the cylinder head before a .30g BB leaves the barrel.
My VSR was actually dead silent BEFORE I put an air brake in it. I put the brake in once parts had worn in and small air leaks developed.

The sound of the piston hitting the cylinder head is where all the noise comes from that you hear at distance. The sound of air leaving the barrel doesn't carry very far.
