When you read reviews about suppressors there is almost always a disclaimer about the "loudness" or db rating in a given atmosphere. For example, a certain elevation, humidity, temperature.
I've noticed here in SC when it starts getting colder, like this week, that gun shots in general start sounding a bit louder. This is both suppressed and un-supressed with the same host(s) and ammo. Am I completely off base here? What is the general rule of thumb? What variable has the biggest effect on how loud a gun shot sounds? I understand that a supersonic projectile will be louder than a subsonic but that is merely a speed thing.
What is generally louder a bullet at sea level or much higher elevation?
What is generally louder a bullet shot at 30 degrees Fahrenheit or 100?
Etc.
