This is literally the best silenced .22lr sound comparison video available on UKposts. Very informative. Thanks for sharing.

I wish more decibel tests were done like this on UKposts.

I literally thought the weapon didn’t fire…… all you hear is trigger action. I’m blown away.

Your comparison with other items (balloons, slide, AR bolt drop and paint ball gun) was awesome and really gave some great context to compare...Great video! Sub'd

It's worth noting that every ten decibels or so is twice the noise. Decibels work a bit like earthquake magnitudes where they scale very quickly.

This was insane! I also really appreciate the audio quality and the comparisons to other items, really put it in perspective better than anything I’ve seen.

This is awesome! The only thing that would make this better is showing tables at the end of the video of the hosts and the first round pop, lowest rating and average decibel rating by ammo. And then also comparing the different type of sounds and decibels to each other in another table. I was mind blown to see how loud other common things are in comparison! I’m sharing this with friends and family so they understand the difference a suppressor can make to protect your hearing.

A buddy of mine who was a Vietnam Vet said they used to use VW bug exhaust stingers as improvised 22 silencers and that it as about as loud as thumping your knuckle on a table.

Wow, you are providing the best info on suppressors by measuring objective data like in this video or showing side-by-side comparisons of suppressor flash signatures in an earlier video. Very interesting to learn the dBs from the bolt closing, balloons, etc.

AWESOME VIDEO love the other examples as frames of reference. Good stuff. Earned my sub.

Omg. First channel to give points of reference!!! 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

Really good video! Enjoyed it. Also ordered some stuff from you guys and got it Today. You guys are awesome

Best video on suppressed noise levels. Thanks for making it.

Very nice video, was a bit concerned with the Mask, but you proved a good point. You sold me on it, should have it now in - hopefully 6 months.

This was a truly great real life test. Thanks.

Super awesome idea to compare with other common sounds.

Really loved how you guys compared the suppressed sound to everyday sounds so we can get a better idea of how quiet that is! Thank you!

Great comparison , really helpful to compare common noises !

Great show. Just the info I was looking for as I am deciding between another 10/22 with a threaded barrel this time or tge Ruger American with the threaded barrel.

Great stuff, especially with the comparisons. I never realized how loud opening a can of Coke was until one very quiet night, I was under a glass break sensor in the kitchen and it set off the house alarm. I've read that can be 120-130 decibels.

Awesome comparison guys

Thank you! Loved this! I have a Dead Air Mask 22 HD on the way . . . in about a year!

I have this can on a 22/45. While archery hunting a few years back after I had tagged out my friend spotted a grouse and told me to shoot it. I knocked an arrow and was stopped by my friend who stated “no, use your pistol, your bow is too loud”. It’s a older bow but still puts it in a little perspective

Would've liked a reading on the hammer drop dry firing each gun. It probably would've been real close to the subsonic suppressed on each gun.

Can't wait to get my Sparrow & Mask that are still in jail. This is a great spectrum of tests. Nice angles on the photography & nice editing.

Awesome video. Subscribed. I would love to see more tests with the decibel meter. Most on UKposts are completely incorrect with garbage equipment. I'd love to see how quiet you could make a pistol caliber carbine without a suppressor.

there should have been std velocity like 1130fps, usually subsonic from a 16", louder than the 710fps stuff for sure.

Well done. I love that range, been there a few times.

Needed summary chart at end, but great. Including reference sounds important. Now higher calibers and other suppressors. Can you do custom suppressors, bigger and quieter?

Awesome video guys!

A very good and educational video! Thank you!

I think the slide makes more noise on that rugar 10-22 than the sub sonic ammo.

Excellent test, thank you.

Excellent video!

I love how he braces for recoil on a 22

CCI Standard ammo is subsonic , many people use it in suppresed cal.22lr hunting rifles, If your rifle is of American manufacture then you usually get good accuracy.

Great video but the one thing missing is the decibel level of subsonic without the suppressor. Or did I somehow miss that? Thanks.

I’d like to have seen the unsuppressed numbers of the mark iii. I’d imagine it would have been louder than the bolt gun. And the 103 numbers you were using the cci quiet. But in the subsonic of the other Guns you didn’t mention the quiet cci just said subsonic. What subsonics was used. The quiets won’t cycle any gun I have. Also would have liked to seen standard subs in the bolt gun.

Nice stuff. I wish you had used some other sub sonic ammo as well to compare. The cci quiet is prob the slowest 22lr round you can get. I would have been interested to hear the cci standard as a point of difference. Just under speed of sound n no crack. Great content cheers :)

I have a Ruger Precision Rimfire with a Wildcat Predator 12 suppressor on, shooting CCi sub-sonic hollowpoint at 1050fps, it's literally the click of the trigger pull that can be heard. I can use the rifle on an indoor range in booths and not have to use any ear-pro at all, sometimes the only way to know that its fired is the hole in the target. I've had RO's ask if I've had a miss-fire on a couple of occasions. After watching this, I might get a decibel meter and see what level it's at. It is also super accurate, 10 shots in a 10mm group at 50m all day.

You should have used some CCI standard velocity in all of the guns, because I know that you didn't use the CCI Quite in the two Rugers. It will not cycle the action of either of the semiautomatic guns and I know from experience that they are substantially quieter than all the other subsonic ammo. It would have made the 10/22 almost as quiet as the bolt action.

We used to get a .22 round from Remington called CBee and I'm sure it is aa sr round as they were shorter than a normal .22 round and not enough power to work a semi-auto action. Fitted with a silencer on my semi-auto you could here the firing pin click and the projectile hit and nothing else. If you can get tyem i would like to see a test on them. Great vidoe thank you

I kinda wished that you would have the meter next to the shooters head. That way you would get a level as to what the shooter hears. With a non-certified meter, I have gotten more than a 10+ db difference by moving the meter a couple of feet at a diagonal away from the muzzle and even more reduction when my meter was just behind the shooter. However, this video is about the best one on showing actual reduction of sound levels.

Next. Shoot through the suppressor that had a whisper disc in front. There was another video I can't fobs that showed the whisper disc doesn't in the low 90's. You could actually hear the bolt drop.

Can you tell us what brand and velocity of supersonic ammo you used.

Great Video !

why did you skip the sub sonic un supressed at the beginning ?

Could you do this with FX air rifles. I'm curious how quiet air rifles are in comparison to 22 LR😁

That was way more than a meter or 40 inches. Probably better to measure next time to be accurate ;) But great video. Thanks for the comparison!

So realistically, what distances are these suppressed rounds accurate out to out of the rifle?

Very interesting!

awesome video, great information

Ye Ol' Staple Boi had zero first round pop. I base all of my choices around this one feature, therefore ye ol' staple boi is the superior noise reduction device.

Does looking through the scope help decibels?

In the seventies, a .22 silencer could be purchased in South Australia for about $13. My friend assassinated a duck. He saw the duck, stopped the vehicle, passenger window goes down, “psst!”, duck down. Rifle was a Ruger and had a scope.

Clunky bolt was annoying. 😊 The balloons added a real world experiment that all of us can relate to.

It would have been interesting to fire a single round in the 1022 so there would be no bolt drop.

You can tell my man plays paintball. Been a while watching this have me the urge to play😂

Should have used the cci standards for sub sonic. Using quiets was silly.

Hey great showcase. Just wanted to check, is the Bergara a 16" or a 18" barrel?

I like your video. The algorithm brought me here. Id like to comment that the CCI you showed is only 710fps. They are already pretty quiet. Id like to have heard them unsuppressed for comparison. Also all ammo is subsonic from a pistol. That CCI quiet is unreliable at 710 in a semi auto. Id suggest using heavier ammo in the future. Like 45 grains at 910fps. It's quiet and will run in a semi auto.

What brand is that tripod you are using?

The big item to take away from this is. If you run a suppressor and run subsonic ammo it will be HOLLYWOOD QUIET. Same with any ammo or gun you shoot. A suppressor does it's job for people around the gun. The subsonic ammo makes the bullet go slower than the sound barrier. The bolt action rifle is nice, but a ruger 10/22 with a different set of pins that are covered in rubber will really quiet it down. The subsonic ammo is the key. The same can be said with the size of the suppressor. The ammo is what makes the biggest difference.

what tripod is holding your guns?

I have dumb questions about subsonic ammo. How strict is the speed of sound for a .22 LR? Does it change due to elevation/humidity? Is the existence of the sonic crack commensurate to the mass & shape of the bullet as well, or just its speed? For example - if the speed of sound is 1116.4 fps, for the sake of argument, it's precisely that threshold that the sonic crack occurs, ignoring any of the conditions above. So if the same bullet is fired with a velocity of 1116.3 fps will a sonic crack not happen at all, or just make less of one? If the same bullet's going 1300fps, will the sonic crack be louder? If so, is it because of the speed AND the bullet's weight/shape, or only the speed? I'm looking at a pack of 40gr 22LR bullets with a claimed velocity of 1090fps - is the proximity to the speed of sound going to make it louder than any other similar bullet going, say 1000 fps, other than the sound made in the rifle? Is that close enough to the speed of sound that under specific environmental conditions, they might be supersonic? Sorry for all the questions, I'm still learning obviously. Loved this test, I wish suppressors were legal here in Canadastan....

What subsonic ammo is that ?

I want to know if the suppressor that you use on the 22 lr can I also use on a 22 magnum, what brand of suppressors and what is the cost?

need decibel comparison for super and sub sonic ammo unsuppressed. See how quiet just shooting subs is comparatively.

How loud is a dry fire?

CCI quite are super slow .22lr they are extra quiet. CCI subsonic are a bit faster and a tiny bit louder.

11:20 is that an og worr games pump "cocker"?

I do wish you tested what most people care about, at the shooter's ear, not at the muzzle.

Don’t let the ol alphabet boys see you with a stapler they are going to try to ad it to the NFA 😂

that' s good from 1.5 meters, how far do those noises carry?

Should it be assumed that the subsonic ammo was all 710fps? I can shoot my Volquartsen Black Mamba 22/45 with CCI 710fps in by backyard and the round hitting the target is the loudest sound you'll hear - easily passed off as my FX Impact M3 (30 Cal ammo) air rifle. But if I move up to CCI small game ammo @ 970fps (still subsonic), the cops would be here in about 10 minutes. I"m using Silencer Co Warlock 22 as my suppressor. I don't know if that helps the conversation, but choose your ammo wisely. The downside with that ammo is that the Mamba won't cycle @ 710fps which effectively turns it into a bolt action pistol. Of course it can be modified to handle the smaller charge by changing the spring, but that affects how the pistol handles Hi-Vel ammo. I haven't tried moving up to one of my larger cans to see how it feels/sounds, but this is what I've found so far.... Thanks for the video...an excellent primer on DB levels and the sound they carry.

this is fun

With the Banish 22, it seems that shots are quieter the faster that I can shoot rounds through it. Would you know why?

Hearing from a wet suppressor is honestly intimidating a guy could be in a full crowd shooting away and no one would know till people started dropping, just a normal conversation voice is loud.

Could you get better suppression with a 5.56 suppressor on the .22?

I don't know the formula but I know sound increase is not linear. 128 super is way louder than 107 sub.

ruger 10-22 various integral suppressed vs Mask

Something wrong with your meter those sounds arent 114db thats like jack hammer loud , hewring damage

Do I see a Sanchez Machine SM1 👀

How does it sound DOWNRANGE? Say, 50 to 100 feet away? If I was going to use a silenced weapon for nefarious reasons, I wouldn't worry about the sound next to me, but rather a good distance from me. Just sayin'.

The 22 quiet is 710fps, that's wayyy below subsonic. I wanted to see you shoot ammo around 970- 1,070 fps instead

It would seem that what movies need to do if they want realism is to cover the sound of their silenced weapons with construction.

It’s the ammunition too

You need to recheck your measurements mate. Your 1meter looks more like 2

justb showing how quiet they are isnt a real good reason to get a suppressor. what do you need a subsonic 22lr for?

So the balloons didn't have frp 😆

Could you test a .22 magnum subsonic?

How deadly at 100yards

I use a Q El Camino and one thing not stated in this video is the giggle factor. I still grin from ear to ear after each magazine of ammo. We need to get rid of the stupid Hollywood politicians who ruin this country. Why do we need to have SBR and Suppressors so regulated. I got my SBR stamp in 91 days. Got my Suppressor stamp in 4 days.

That suppressor with the first rifle isn’t doing a very good job. Home made suppressor we have does much better than this.

An oil filter works pretty good

A subsonic .22 is less powerful than a mid grade air rifle from Walmart or academy.

Strasznie głośno, znajomy tak "stłumił" swoją .22, że było tylko słychać przeładowanie i uderzenie pocisku w cel. Chyba coś ten miernik przekłamuje.
