Yup. Even educational videos like [1] are probably using audio compression so they don't show the real loudness.
Research [2] shows suppressed small arms are still well over 100dB (e.g. landing airplane loud) at peak impulse.

- orthoxerox 5y agoNo amount of videos can teach you how loud a gun really is. Especially when you're holding it literally next to your ear to aim down the sights.
- Consultant32452 5y agoWhen I go to an indoor range, even with two sets of hearing protection on, it takes me about 10 mins to stop flinching every time a shot is fired. And we're not talking about super weapons here, just common stuff like 9mm pistols. I think it's hard to convey in words just how LOUD guns really are.
