    How loud is a 9mm

    Is it about the same as a .22lr or a bit louder?

    Depends if it's from a rifle or pistol, and subsonic or supersonic.


    Definitely much louder than .22lr though.

    That fires shot out of a 9mm case?
    Or a shotgun styled rifle?

    Would the pistols be louder due to a short barrel?

    YES. the longer the barrel means lower gas pressure (expansion), the cooler the gases and more done by the work done by the gases. All this adds up to less pressure at the muzzle when the bullet exits thus less noise.

    Shotgun with a insert that goes in the barrel to take 9mm. might get a .357 one at some stage too. should be good for a laugh.
