You can't really tell volume from a youtube video for obvious reasons.

You can’t tell the SPL from a YouTube video but you can clearly tell the silencer reduces the attack and sustain of the gunshot noise by a substantial degree. It also doesn’t echo as much.

That was insanely quiet. I’ve never heard a suppressor that quiet before!
