Puts it on par with a power saw, rock concert, or jackhammer. The main thing a suppressor does is change the noise from a "BANG!" to more of a "Whump!" or "Thud!". This makes it sound less like a gunshot, and more like someone dropped a Riverside Unabridged Shakespeare on a table. (Hence the negative for being unfamiliar with how suppressed weapons sound.)
