[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1758816, member: 2736"] Different styles of brake designs produce less perceived noise "BUT" they can still heart your ears even though they sound quieter. We did a lot of DB testing on different designs and found very little difference in the DB level even though there was a perceived difference (What the shooter or bystander felt/heard) Location of the muzzle around reflective surfaces can greatly change the perceived sound and the position of the bystander can also have a large effect on what you hear, so don't take one shot as a sign of a brakes quietness until you have shot it many times. We found only 2 to 3 DB differences between braked and un braked rifles, but noticeable differences in the perceived sound So you may have a brake that lends it's self to being more comfortable to shoot, but don't get a false sense of not having to use ear protection.
