Shorter barrel will produce quite a bit more noise. Can't see it in the video (20x magnification) but I was shooting through a pretty tight gap between several large trees. Like shooting into a closeby bank or close quarters in the bush you do tend to get much more sound bounced back at you.
Will be interesting to see once I film a shot shooting out into the open whether it's similar.
