My advice to the OP would be to read up and watch more. There is a wealth of info online. 140 db is the firearm hearing safe threshold everyone uses. No it's not perfect but it's pretty realistic and a nice even number.
Sure, supersonic rifle rounds are not exactly quiet out of a suppressor. But it's far better than without! All things are relative. When it comes to decibels this is really key.
If you really want a truly quiet rifle well below 140db, your best option is a non-autoloading gun chambered in a caliber with effective subsonic ammo available. That's the only way to get in the low 130s, or lower. Of course, ballistics are not like supersonic loads. That's the catch.
Good luck. Enjoy your new addiction haha
