Only the deer can tell you for certain. As with all things to do with whitetail, the slower an quieter you are, the less likely you are to get busted.
I just took my 336 out of the safe and thumbed the hammer back as if I were in front of a deer. An acorn hitting the ground is typically louder than the hammer coming back.
If your gun sounds the same as mine, then I'd imagine movement will be a bigger factor than the noise of the hammer getting eased back.
