This is true but the term 'quiet' is all relative. I have successfully accomplished that and more. Overall I initially started out buying a suppressor precisely because I didn't want to scare the dogs or piss off my neighbors but I still wanted to shoot more.

22 can be fired without ear pro for the most part and subsonics are just silly pellet gun quiet. If you are talking about other calibers and hosts you can have remarkable noise reduction. The suppressor cuts your baseline down by a whole lot.

Suppressors will tame the noise quite a lot but 5.56 is inherently loud out of an AR. Sound in general diminishes over distance so if someone is standing a fair distance away they obviously will know you are shooting but it generally won't have the startling boom associated with a gunshot. With a suppressor it's much more tolerable for all involved. If I go unsuppressed they go bonkers and we have to try and keep them indoors or whatever (just like I would on the 4th of July etc). The dogs are also substantially less scared. That said (speaking from my own experience) I can shoot a lot more while pissing off the neighbors a lot less. Depending on the setup of the rifle (barrel length etc) you can probably get away with one or two shots without ear protection but even that is pushing it. It however will be substantially less noisy than before. it won't be ninja quiet where nobody will hear you shooting. I have seen internet posts all the time talking about how 'loud' an AR is leading one guy to ask, 'If it's still so loud why even bother with a suppressor to start with?' and he definitely had a point. I find it's always useful to help those not familiar with suppressors to get a realistic expectation, particularly out of an AR. 300 BO, which would be my choice of the three calibers, generally accepted to be effective against 2 & 4-legged varmints.Д¬lick to expand.This is true but the term 'quiet' is all relative.

The crack of the bullet in flight is around 140 DB (for. It all depends on what you are after and at what distance. I have a 10.5' and a 16' that both are suppressed, as well as a 9' 300BLK. That said you can tune it down some but you might lose some velocity. I have experimented with different powders to some success to 'fine tune' this but it still will be loud enough to want to wear ears if you are doing any volume of shooting. The barrel is still under pressure when both ends get opened up, IE the bullet leaves the muzzle and the bolt opens up. What you need to be concerned with is the port pop. It depends on a lot of factors but a lot of the cans out there work best in the 18' barrel length.
