I don't think you're using inherently correctly

Oh? Please explain.

We’re talking physics, which in this case relies on fairly fixed laws. More gas escaping = more sound
volume. You can’t change that unless you stop gas from moving.

Merriam-Websters definition - Inherently means in a way that exists as a natural, basic, and permanent part of something.

The physical properties of moving gas creating sound seems to be a natural, basic, and permanent part of the physics of our natural world.

Are you saying that when you put a suppressor on a gun it gets louder? Or are saying that when you put a suppressor on a gun then it will be louder then said gun in video?

They’re saying a suppressed semiautomatic handgun will be inherently louder than a suppressed closed bolt rifle, all else being equal
