    I don't have any actual data for you, only anecdotes. I have a .308 with a 14.5" barrel and it's so offensively loud that even at the range when testing it unsuppressed and with everyone wearing earmuffs it annoyed others enough for me to get some feedback

    In the real world I run it with a Kaimai "Super Stealth" suppressor when out shooting furry things and the odd shot without hearing protection is not loud enough to bother me.
