It really depends, if the shot is far enough away from a suppressed gun with supersonic ammunition, you won’t hear the actual gunshot, just the crack of the bullet. Which is still plenty loud, but different.
With subsonic ammunition, guns can get really quiet, but range and stopping power are severely impacted. This is why the Soviets and Russians have designed specific subsonic ammunition and weapons platforms, to minimise these disadvantages.
Well that’s kinda my point. Aint nobody out there targeting cops with suppressed .300blk

Is that what the sonic boom or whatever is called?
So there’s a few sounds that come when you use a firearm. The most obvious are the sound of the small explosion of the primer, forcing the bullet and the gases outward. That is fairly loud itself. Then there’s the bullet breaking the sound barrier. Suppressors are designed to dampen the first, and using “subsonic” ammo, ammo that doesn’t break the speed of sound affects the second.
There’s also the sound from the action of the firearm, the moving metal parts and such. That varies depending on the gun.
Also what he was actually talking about was the sound the bullet makes when it hits something.
