    The noise from brakes is louder, mainly because the noise is directed back towards the shooter. Greg's brakes are awesome for recoil reduction, but you will feel the blast on your face, not unpleasant but it is there, I had a T2 on my 7RUM.
    My 7SAUM with a radial brake doesn't direct the blast backwards, so you don't feel it on the face, but won't reduce the recoil as much as Greg's brakes.
    I NEVER shoot any braked rifle without hearing protection so the noise increase isn't really an issue.
    Suppressors are definitely quieter for the shooter.
