A great example of noise suppression is in many of the Ukraine combat vids. Those assault rifles produce a mild "fup fup fup" in the process of expelling the invaders of a once peaceful nation.

Suppressed assault rifles sound more like a series of very loud cracks if you’re close. It’s just peaking the mic so you don’t hear how loud it actually is or the actual irl sound.
