A bow will always sound louder in a blind. The deer aren't in the blind with you, so don't worry 'bout it.

Noise
Same as shooting a rifle at the range when there is an overhang or back wall etc. Noise gets trapped in and is louder.

 Has your bow been tuned lately..as with any Bow The mathews will get consideribly louder the more the Cam rotates out of tune..[which also means BH, ATA. idler lean, draw lentgh/weight etc is also out] due to string stretch or settling...the Z7 was a quiter bow...
I will even over rotate cam on the short end..ATA slightly short 1/16...sweet spot
That and add string whiskers and she will be stealth...
My HeliM is so quite I have to yell "thwack" just so other shooters know Im shooting....its annoying...lol

Thats cuz Mathews are so slow. The dampeners and silencers have time to actually stop the noise lol jks

Oh Oh let me do the Math...
ABB G5 @335 FPS IBO
SM Z7 @333 FPS IBO

And he gives up quite a bit of brace height to get that extra 2 fps if I remember correctly

You could brush in your blind, if it has all the little loops to add branches and grass. Might deaden the sound a bit, vs just fabric. Think of hitting a drum, and then hitting it with your hand deadening the skin.

blind
You will deaden the sound more by placing something on the inside of the blind, like felt cloth or something like that. Would take some time, and would require that you likely are leaving the blind in one place or not attempting to fold it up too much. Will be more quiet, and would help in colder temps as well.

If it really bothers ya, get a cheaper set of ear plugs lol.
I'm pretty sure the blind is containing the noise and outside the blind will won't be effected so much.
I used to shoot a Martin that sounded like a .22 when shooting. It was the last sound many animals ever heard. Don't sweat the small stuff it's too easy to get wrapped up in it.

Wise words...
Watch some of those African hunt video's and the 80 lb Hoyts and Bowtechs going off in the blinds...sounds like 12 gauge shotguns going off in there...
lol
