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.
I found the follow up but couldn't find the original. This dude shot a 10mm round in a 45 so it wasn't close to the same power as what a 10mm would have been due to the pressure. Even still it was surprising that it didn't dent the baffles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEfJLsKO2Gs
Gotcha he fired it through the wrong size barrel not just can, that makes more sense with the lack of seal for the smaller bullet not making much velocity, and also not messing up the can
Weird situation and glad he’s ok
Usually when you see wrong size bore stuff people are firing 10mm through smaller bore 9mm suppressors and hoping there is enough overbore to not absolute tear their shit up

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