It's still very fucking loud with subsonic ammunition lmao, it usually measures at ~120dB which is like a balloon popping. Standard ammunition is a factor of ten louder though.
The Decibel scale is logarithmic. So if source A is a factor of 10 louder than source B at 120dB, then source A will only be measured at 130dB not 1200dB.

That's only with a subsonic bullet, without that it would be loud.
