We investigate the sharp time decay rates of the solution $U$ for the compressible Navier-Stokes system (1.1) in ${\mathop{\mathbb R\kern 0pt}\nolimits}^3$ to the constant equilibrium $(\bar\rho>0, 0)$ when the initial data is a small smooth perturbation of $(\bar\rho,0)$. Let $\widetilde U$ be the solution to the corresponding linearized equations with the same initial data. Under a mild non-degenerate condition on initial perturbations, we show that $\|U-\widetilde U\|_{L^2}$ decays at least at the rate of $(1+t)^{-\frac54}$, which is faster than the rate $(1+t)^{-\frac34}$ for the $\widetilde U$ to its equilibrium $(\bar\rho ,0)$. Our method is based on a combination of the linear sharp decay rate obtained from the spectral analysis and the energy estimates.
