The noise generated by the shotgun when fired was 155 decibels, as measured by SilencerCo.
The American-Speech-Language-Hearing Association rates that level as “painful” and compares it to “fireworks at three feet.”
CNNMoney then fired the shotgun fitted with its silencer — the Salvo 12 — which was less loud. But not by that much: 132 decibels.
