The gun shot of an unsuppressed 9mm is just too loud, no matter what ammo you use, to not use hearing protection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re still planning on using ear protection and just want something that\u2019s on the quieter side, you can still try out the suggestions from above. Generally speaking, the ammo with heavier bullet weights (147gr.+) will have lower velocities, which in turn should be quieter. However, I\u2019m not confident that you will notice much of a difference.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Final Thoughts<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size: 17px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7211 size-large alignnone\" title=\"9mm decibel test\" src=\"https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/decibelmeter-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"the author looking at the decibel reader\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/decibelmeter-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/decibelmeter-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/decibelmeter-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/decibelmeter-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/decibelmeter-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/decibelmeter-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/decibelmeter-1140x641.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/decibelmeter.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7214 size-full\" title=\"subsonic 9mm\" src=\"https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/subsonic9mmammo.jpg\" alt=\"boxes of subsonic 9mm ammo used in the decibel test\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/subsonic9mmammo.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/subsonic9mmammo-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/subsonic9mmammo-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/subsonic9mmammo-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/subsonic9mmammo-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/subsonic9mmammo-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/subsonic9mmammo-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.targetbarn.com\/broad-side\/media\/subsonic9mmammo-1140x641.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We didn\u2019t get to test every subsonic round out there, but our results should give you somewhere to start if you\u2019re looking for the quietest 9mm ammo for a suppressed pistol or PDW.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Four rounds stood out for landing in our top five for both guns:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ammo Inc.
