    I don’t know. Isn’t the average speed of a bullet (340 m/s) under the sound barrier (343 m/s)? If that’s the case, wouldn’t it only matter how far the gun is away from you?

      The further the muzzle is from my ears, the lower the noise level I’ll experience. The projectile speed doesn’t matter.
