Sonicor is listed as Alarming. The projectile is limited to a range of 15m with a blast of 5m. If shoot at an enemy from 16 to 19m, then it might not alarm any enemies – as long as the other enemies are outside of the 20m unmodded range.

The state of quiet/silent is dependent on the above factors. It doesn't fit into the same category of the other innately quiet/silent secondaries.
