In the game Rainbow Six, there was the description of the MP5SD a mp with integrated silencer and it was said, that it is only as loud as a click from a pen. I always believed that, because the game had a focus on realism, but 120+ DB is more close to reality and a bit louder.

An old colleague had a silenced .22 with sub-sonic rounds and it still sounded loud as fuck without hearing protection (we were dumb young people), but more like a car horn next to your face than an explosion, so my hearing is probably OK.

I also remember that game and the "pen click" description and I thought when he fired it the .22 would just click like that!
