Suppressor Testing??

[Ryan Avery]

I am just here for the videos as well...

We should have one out today and a few more out this week. BUT this thread has been fun to watch with no videos.

I’m having a mental struggle of being professional and keeping my mouth shut on this thread, but there’s been plenty to keep me entertained to say the least… lol

See what happens when you tell the kids they will get a treat then ghost them.

I don't know why you would want to post them. The crackhead nerds are just going to tell you you're doing it wrong.

Very true.. I keep waiting for the "experts" to show up and show us....

I’m an audio engineer by trade with expertise in field recording and applied psychoacoustics.

This thread is going to give me nightmares, and I’m not getting involved

You’re too qualified. Move along…

I'm not gonna help you much with your anxiety, and I am certainly no expert. But I have a meter, and I'm gonna send it.

Does this mean you understand the physics and affects of sound to our hearing health or does this mean you understand how to manage the technical aspects of recording and editing music/talk on radio/tv?

Sounds like you just volunteered yourself for Rokslide suppressor dB expert duties. If you are going to flex your resume, we are going to put your ass to work.

Thanks for this
By title alone he's as qualified as Ryan, which still means Im interested in whatever same-day comparative results between expensive suppressors I don't own using some expensive meter I dont own

Yes to both

@Ryan Avery this better be a really good effing video for all the buildup over the last 2 weeks!

Suppressor nerds waiting to be upset about another non scientific Rokslide test

Just read up on the T&K suppressors, they’re very interesting.

@Ryan Avery please do the broscience tests!! I care way more about that. The peak pressure of the inverse curve due to unweighted…yeah, they’re loud, the earth is dangerous, and I should wear earpro. Got it. I care how bystanders claim they stack up.

Subjective tone does matter, some are so high-pitched that I’d never want to own one. The Airlock is a hiss, OG65 lower still…that plus subjective volume, bc that’s what everyone that owns suppressors talks about anyway.

Or…send them to me & I’ll broscience the crap outta them.

And again, thanks for doing this comparison! Looking forward to it.

@Ryan Avery
I’d be interested to see accuracy testing protocols of some sort on the units you are testing currently to include data.
Maybe you could include that here with video
or a separate thread. Might be of value to some
People.

No, I would not. I might “buy” the statement if your authority had some basis for being respected in the “suppressor industry” and had published results done to a “scientific standard.”

As it is, your appeal to authority rings hollow.

But, for the sake of argument, let’s take the best case scenario. Let’s assume that this person was part of the SAAMI board (maybe a minority opinion in the final draft). Or perhaps some person who *should have been* part of the SAAMI board, but was excluded. What is stopping that person from publishing a “here’s why the new SAAMI standard is flawed and here are X number of ways it could be better” article?

Or, for that matter, what is stopping anyone from publishing standards they intend to use? And formulating tests that account for environmental differences.

Again, I am responding to you, but this isn’t directed at you in particular.

Why does it matter?

What did you read that made them very interesting? I haven't heard much about them yet.
