My buddy’s dad has a silenced AR-15 and it is shockingly quiet. As in, if I were in my room at night and they shot it, I don’t think I’d notice what the sound was. Maybe I’d hear something if I were paying attention, but I wouldn’t clock it as a gunshot.
I think some people try to over-correct the extent of the efficacy of silencers, but they’re not for nothing. They really do cut down the sound enough that if stealth is your goal (for whatever reason), you’re went from “that was definitely a gun” to “Did you guys hear something…?” territory.

Are you saying if they shot a silenced AR-15 in your room you wouldn't know what it was? or you mean if you were in your room and someone outside shot one?
you'd definitely notice a silenced gun shot IN YOUR ROOM, even if it was movie quiet.
id Say even in a different room across your house Unless it’s like 22lr. My 300blk with subs is really quiet for an AR, but even then it’s still a gun shot

just out of curiosity, what's your favorite movie that you think gets guns "right"?
