A noise reducer for a powder actuated fastening tool comprises a barrel including inner and outer cylindrical walls which are radially spaced to define a gas expansion chamber between them. The chamber is adapted to receive combustion gases through ports or passages in the inner wall, and the gases may be exhausted from the chamber in any appropriate manner, preferably at a location adjacent the front end of the tool. The outer wall of the barrel can thus be made to slidingly fit within the tool receiver, while porting of the expansion chamber can be such as to induce a favorable flow pattern to the combustion gases passing therethrough.
