[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1314502"] As I understand it, normal firearms will be about 150db. Loud enough to damage hearing with one single exposure. The same firearm with a suppressor would be 120db. A level that would take a great deal of sustained exposure to cause hearing loss. My numbers may not be perfect. I was going by memory and a couple web sites. So If you want to be as silent as possible with a suppressor, the subsonic ballistics, quiet powder charge and a suppressor will pretty much get you to the point where the mechanics of the firearm are the noise. I build a 10/22 without a suppressor but with a long barrel that was in that realm. The loudest thing was the bolt moving back into battery. The rear bolt buffer was polymer so it made no noise.
