This video compares the sound signature of a .22LR and a 9mm firearm, both equipped with suppressors. The .22LR is described as significantly quieter, akin to a whisper, while the 9mm, even with subsonic ammunition, is noticeably louder and would likely draw attention. The presenter emphasizes the effectiveness of suppressors in reducing firearm noise.

This analysis explains the distinct 'crack' and 'bang' sounds heard during gunfire. The 'crack' is the supersonic shockwave from the bullet exceeding the speed of sound, while the 'bang' is the muzzle blast. The absence of the double crack indicates the shot was either very close or the bullet was subsonic.
