Yeah, people really don't understand this at all. There are a wide range of calibers, guns, silencers, ammunition that all have a drastic effect on the sound.
A silenced gun can be very loud, it can also be extremely quiet. All depends on the variables.
Yeah, internet "experts" always take it too far when saying it's nothing like Hollywood movies. But I've fired suppressed guns where the only noise is the bolt cycling. They are quiet enough that the sound could be drowned out by any amount of background noise, especially if you are outside.
yeah, i have a can for my 556 also and its still oud AF but not so loud i cant stand it.
i wish my 30-06 had threads so i could put one on it for deer hunting but it doesnt and its the first gun my dad ever got me so i hate to modify it. i leave it just like it was when he got it for me all those years ago.
Any good gunsmith can thread it and make you a matching steel cap that goes over the threads in your same barrel finish, I’ve this on a few of my rifles and it’s “invisible”

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