Want to see where the sound comes from?

Throw a towel over (or wrap it loosely around) the body of the gun and fire some shots....then without.

Then throw a thick towel over the muzzle and do the same. Don't plug it completely or else you'll cause an air brake in the cylinder.

From gas and AEG/PTWs a lot of the sound comes from the mechbox/action and a suppressor may change the overall tone/pitch of things but won't really suppress it. Works well on a BA though.

But by all means do the tests. It'd be a good reference to take a reading where the shooters ear would be as well.
