You did good explaining how sound works. As a 20 year audio engineer I get a kick out of all these suppressor manufacturer fudding their way thru how measuring the loudness of sound works. See see our suppressor is best because our DB meter says so.

Thanks Nate. I agree and thank you for the comment and for watching.

[@Nate-zm6bd]

@@rondobrondo its funny Ive dealt w/ it alot thruout my career. So many cops. show up to concerts, w/ their db meter on their phone. trying to tell me its too loud because their phone says its 150 plus db. it doesnt matter if you explain to them they would be deaf, forever, if they were exposed to constant 150 plus db. even pulse will leave you not hearing certain frequencies again especially if they are higher frequencies. so its really not uncommon for people to over simplify something thats just not that simple.

Thank you for this video Ray, especially the section on hearing damage. I gave myself tinnitus 32 years ago via DIY work. Trust me it wrecks your life, and that’s before it develops into Menieres. I love my shooting I just don’t like loud bangs and that’s why I double up on ear protection and use a suppressor on an indoor range. This video should be compulsory viewing for every shooter. Keep up the good work!

Thank you Paul. I really wanted to take the time to put this content out there. I know its not exciting to listen to someone talking about hearing damage but I see so many people get a new can for their AR and shoot all day at the range without any earpro. Just wanted to help share the knowledge. Thank you for watching.

@@XRING Thank you for your comments Ray much appreciated. As you now have a SPL meter and the required skill to use it may I suggest another variation on this video! I was on range some time ago and a friend of mine rocked up with a 300 Win Mag with a muzzle break next on me on the firing line, the concussive blast off the break blew me sideways! Would it be possible to do a comparative test which shows the sound level at your ear and at a shooters ear to your left or right with no muzzle device verses the sound level at you ear and the person next to you with a muzzle break?

Im so use to being able to fix things when they are broken but cant fix the things most important to me unfortunately. He also drinks a lot of beer unfortunately which he has done his entire adult life to where its always been on the borderline of being a real f**king problem and i know for a fact it gets worse as he starts to get more alchohol in his system

They have not received much coverage on social media. I am interested in learning more about their performance and design.

[@KeterMalkuth]

I really appreciate you measuring the volume of simply dropping the bolt. A lot of people likely don't understand that just the action itself on an AR is loud enough to cause hearing damage. There is, unfortunately, no such thing as a hearing safe suppressed AR, even in .300 BLK, simply because the metal-on-metal of the bolt slamming forward is too loud for regular exposure.

[@ConventionRejected]

I competed in a night match at Clinton House this past weekend and noticed something interesting. We were shooting at targets between 100 and 200 yards for rifle, so in the white light division the gun smoke resulted in a significant challenge. There was a guy using the Huxwrx Ventum 5.56, and because of the flowthrough design he had the same issue with smoke as the people without a suppressor had. Namely, the gun smoke was illuminated by his weapon light and obscured his vision significantly because it was not trapped by the suppressor, as opposed to those of us using traditional cans. I am not sure if that was a specific issue related to the Ventum, his particular gun+can+ammo+light combination, or an issue with flow through cans in general. Just an interesting data point.

[@davelpz3340]

I don’t think the Ventum 556 is out yet, it was a Ventum 762? Maybe it would make a difference if it was 556 specifically? No dog in the fight, just wondering.

[@Mikolt1911]

The hearing loss he is speaking of is absolutely TRUE!!!

[@Masrafi]

great video. as an fyi to people, the peak db can be as little as a few ms in duration or less. this comparison is useful in the relative db of cans between each other, but i wouldnt use this video to determine the absolute db of each can and whether or not its 'hearing safe' because the db meter he's using can easily miss the peak impulse and peak db wave, which could be higher, and lead to hearing damage. as he mentioned before, you need an extremely expensive db meter to accurately gauge firearms sound levels.

[@ExpatriotSilencers]

Correct and you are the first person to mention this issue. The Mil Std 1474 based sound meter requirements for testing silencers specifies a 20 microsecond rise time. That means the meter has to go from ambient noise to 165+ dB within 20 microseconds. The maximum clock speed of a digital sound metering system is something like 28 microseconds. It has been shown that this is sufficient to properly meter sound suppressors. The digital systems run around $10,000. There are a couple of older analog sound meters that are capable of meeting the 20 microsecond rise time but those meters are getting old now and they are still pretty expensive and hard to find. FWIW I was trained to meter sound suppressors by Alan Paulson and Phil Dater.

[@snakeman48]

Ray, I just came back from the Ohio Suppressor Shoot. Got to shoot some great cans. But, for me to consider a new purchase today for 5.56 or a 7.62 can, they need to be on the Hub design. I have over $1000.00 invested in SICO ASR mounts. I can unscrew the mount section of any of the SICO cans I have and screw on to any manufacture that utilize the Hub threading design. Like Dead Air. Surefire was there, but I bypassed them for that reason. Manufactures in attendance were; Surefire, SICO, Dead Air, Sig, Q, OCL, and Rugged. Wish there some of the cans in this video in attendance to try, like the B&T.

Are any of these modular/multi-caliber? Was heavily considering a Griffin Optimus 9 as my first suppressor to have a lot of calibers up to 308 covered, but there is a large appeal for flow through suppressors, especially on DI guns.

[@rondobrondo]

Even just the LENGTH of the actual muzzle blast impulse from a suppressor can make a big difference. For example, a suppressor which has a higher peak db rating, might actually be less harmful to your hearing than a suppressor with a lower dB if the total length of the pulses is longer. Obviously this includes several other factors of the impulses, but a suppressor which 'stays loud' for longer can often be more damaging than a suppressor 'gets louder, but doesn't stay loud as long'

[@WalterRitchey]

@@Nate-zm6bd is the ODB the same / no blowback? In what ways is it better? Weight, size, sound?

[@Nate-zm6bd]

@@WalterRitchey Honestly Id suggest looking up "Cat ODB pew science". They got a long review that goes over a whole lot of aspects. It is a Flow thru no blowback design. They also towards the end of the review talk about how it compares to some of the other leading suppressors on the market. In which ways it beats them and in which ways it may fall short. They also have reviews of the Hux flow 556k and 762ti. So you can read those comparisons. Pew science takes it to a very scientific level that most people dont. Cat is also very responsive on the gram so if you have any questions they usually respond w/in minutes. Cat Wb is shorter than Hux 556k. And ODB is slightly longer than Hux 556k. ODB is actually made for 7.62x39. Which means it can shoot 308/762. But is also currently Pew Sciences highest rated flow thru suppressor on the MK18 556 platform outside of the PTR vent (id prefer the ODB over the Vent due to the vents overly complex internal structures). So that would give you the additional flexibility to put it on 7.62 and 556 opposed to 556k only works on 556. Wb is also a 556 only suppressor.

[@rondobrondo]

@@WalterRitchey If the "flowthrough" scale was from 0-10, with Hux Flow 556 being a 10, and 0 being getting oil and grime and gas shot into your eyeballs hard enough to make you cringe, and the gun is slamming hard. The CAT cans are like an 8.5-9/10. It's very low back pressure and it has superior performance to the Hux in pretty much every way I can think of. The 'backpressure' of the CAT can is basically a non-issue and you probably wouldn't even need to tune your gun at all. If you are capable of seeing through their intentionally offputting marketing and recognizing good engineering and good product, you'll want it once you see what it's capable of for its size. And it's also a can that scales EXTREMELY WELL with barrel length. A tuned 16" with a CAT is insanely quiet and soft and clean. And you'll also realize that they go out of stock extremely quickly lol, especially the Inconel

[@WalterRitchey]

@@rondobrondo that’s a great breakdown, appreciate it! I’m planning on suppressing the HK MR series which doesn’t have any gas adjustability so I’m leaning into Huxwrx but I know aftermarket exists and I do keep hearing great things about CAT. Agreed their marketing is a lot to get through haha.

[@backwardog1]

Have you ever tested with a blank round. In airgun testing, tin pellets can exceed 1200 fps. Lead and alloy pellets peak at 950-989 fps. The tin pellets crack and lead pellets thump. What is the dB for a blank?

[@TerminalM193]

That's actually a great question.... Since there's no bullet breaking the sound barrier there should be no crack whatsoever... A bit off topic but I've personally tested how loud a centerfire style primer is outside of a firearm, "both the bullet and all powder was removed from the brass casing and was struck with a hammer & nail". I was absolutely SHOCKED at how loud just the primer itself was. It was louder than your typical Chinese firecracker.

[@360Swurve]

Why take ear pro off for short barrel test ? Thanks for video but dang, it hurt me watching you do that to yourself

[@dennisdavid9588]

I wonder what the difference in sound is, if any, between using a brake vs a flash hider under the can? Hux offers both for direct thread of the 556k Flow.

[@TerminalM193]

Anywhere from 1.5db to 3.7db between a break and a simple flash hider. Brakes "for the most part" create a more uniform gas seal.

[@jgraham441]

Just a heads up, you are using a warcomp on your mk18 which is skewing heavily your numbers on the mk18 test. Sound leaks heavily around the locking collar through the ports on the muzzle device. That is why every can you tested on the MK18 using the surefire muzzle device put out such bad numbers. Switch to a surefire 3prong or 4prong for suppression.

[@flavortown3781]

Sfmb is the better device for sound, the. 3 and 4 prongs are better for flash suppression

[@rondobrondo]

@@flavortown3781 You're wrong, the RC2 specifically, and probably a lot of other cans, lol, is built in such a way that the muzzle brake actually WORSENS the sound suppression performance of the RC2 compared to the Pronged flash hider.

[@Joe5561000]

I have the Gate-Lok HUB adapter from Griffin Armament. (Works just like the B&T A2 adapter) It works great and allows me to move my Suppressor from gun to gun. It also saves money because A2 flash hiders are a lot cheaper than specific muzzle devices. The down sides are, you really need an alignment rod if you plan to use a Gate-Lok system. Because it doesn't lock onto the A2 flash hider really tightly, the suppressor moves around a lot, that made me nervous, and that's why I ordered a alignment rod, to make sure I wouldn't have a baffle strike. Glad I did too. Because it definitely would have struck the end cap. I then replaced all my crush washers with shims to help with the alignment and checked each one with an alignment rod. Second because it doesn't lock securely in place it leaks gas from the back of the suppressor. That doesn't really hurt anything but the flash hider gets really dirty.

[@rondobrondo]

"It works great... now lemme tell u why it's horrible and nobody should buy one." oh word thanks bro, now I know that Griffin's product is shit and I don't know why people keep buying them if that's what they're really like lol

[@Joe5561000]

@@rondobrondo Actually, the reason for the movement and my subsequently getting an alignment rod is because A2 flash hiders are made by virtually everyone, to varying degrees of quality control. It's actually pretty cool that they can, make it work at all. Griffin Armament makes a line of Gate-Lok muzzle devices that are built to work with it. I assume, if I had gotten those and replaced all my A2 flash hiders, I wouldn't have needed the alignment rod. Also, the reason I would have had a baffle strike is not the fault of the Gate-Lok, but because of the crush washers causing the A2 flash hiders not site concentric to the bore. Something else I noticed, since writing this. The Gate-Lok doesn't "leak gas from the back of the suppressor" like I said in this comment. What I was thinking is that it must be because the flash hider is all gunked up. But I don't see any evidence that the gas is leaking past the back of the Gate-Lok. All in all it works great! Yes, you should change out the crush washers with shims, and to do that you really should have an alignment rod, but that's not difficult, and alignment rods are not expensive. (I got a carbon fiber one made by Huxworks for $35.) If I had done that in the beginning, I wouldn't have had any of issues.

Why is the first round fired through a suppressor so much louder than the 2nd & 3rd?

[@jasonoliver3364]

Gas build up from the first shot.

[@jim99west46]

Thanks for this reporting!

[@jameskiser7791]

I’d really like to know how long each silencer will last. I know people hate on SureFire but those cans will last basically forever.

[@smurfaka]

So the B&T is not possible to have on a muzzle break? Am i correct? Thanks!

[@JGoodZX6R]

Why do you say that?

[@smurfaka]

@ it was a question

[@AvocadoAtrocity]

I really appreciate you looking out for my hearing. Thanks for all of this great info and descriptions! 🫵😎🤝😎👍

[@PorscheSpeedster-kz6nc]

Hi Ray and others. What electronic hearing protection do you use?

[@XRING]

I use the Otto ears Noize Barriers the majority of the time. 👍🏼

[@MG-cz9zc]

Nice job thanks

[@ANDY_LAF]

Hey Ray, what device were you using to measure the decibels? I plan on getting one!

[@XRING]

That’s a Larson Davis unit. If you can find an old analog B&K those actually meet the mil-std they are really old though and parts can be difficult to obtain.

[@Sheppard2030]

Excellent!

[@williamboggs1682]

Man I love this I love when you do can stuff

[@XRING]

Thanks Will. I like to review them as well but it does make for longer and more involved video reviews.

[@plb2455]

Which would you say sounded better/more comfortable to your ear? The Huxwrx or the B&T SRBS?

[@XRING]

For the platforms tested in this video my ears liked the Huxwrx. 👍🏼

[@varietasVeritas]

The bolt closing can cause hearing damage? Tell that to a construction worker. You may have say it louder.

[@ThisHandleIsntAvailableTryANew]

My can has been in jail since april, I got the flow 762 for versatility across multiple gas guns. Gonna come back and watch this when I'm approved, don't want to be disappointed in my choice

[@XRING]

Hux makes very good cans. I completely forgot that I have a 7.62 Hux as well. I should have added that to the test as well. DANG IT!

[@JNOSNOW]

The Flow 762 is even quieter at the muzzle on 5.56 but sacrifices a little at ear. Love the 762 on most all of the semi autos especially 7.62x39 and 6.5 grendel

[@ncsteeltoe]

This man sacrificing himself for us. 😁

[@garyomalley4521]

Great video. I hope you address the difference the difference with bolt action and AR. A lot of loudness is increased due to the receiver opening on an AR.

[@XRING]

Thanks Gary! I will on some follow up videos. Trying to get some more suppressors in for the next review of them.

[@dameonhunter2210]

300 blackout with subsonic ammo meters quieter than the exhaust on my duramax id say that’s not causing hearing damage and that’s an ar platform

[@rob409BOI]

Can we get a velos review

[@sanmiguel2197]

🎉❤ Thanks for sharing

[@XRING]

Thank you for watching Sanmiguel.

[@zachashcraft1126]

Did you get to test the 7.62 SRBS at all?

[@cameronmills3414]

Curious as well I literally just bought it

[@dylanjackson6685]

I dig the scrambler

[@camron1501]

Thank you.

[@Gnolomweb]

not CATs or Otter Creek?
