This video tests the common belief that dirty suppressors are quieter than clean ones. The host uses a SilencerCo Sparrow and two K-baffle suppressors (titanium and aluminum) with both supersonic and subsonic .22LR ammunition fired from a rifle and a GSG Firefly pistol. After cleaning the Sparrow and titanium suppressor, re-testing suggests a slightly more pronounced first-round pop on clean suppressors, potentially due to increased oxygen ingress. The host also discusses the limitations of consumer-grade decibel meters for accurate suppressor sound measurement.
