>.45 being shot through a wet, decent sized suppressor makes less noise than a bullet hitting a steel target
Truth or myth?

Well .45 is already essentially a subsonic round from it's low muzzle velocity, so not breaking the sound barrier doesn't issue a report.
But less noise than hitting a steel target? well that shit's a bit loud, not sure what bearing the suppressor being wet has on how quiet it works.

Very hard to tell given the steel is far away and the muzzle is next to your ears and one sound is sharp and fast and the other resonates. Not that I know shit about .45 suppression, but with suppression in general, there's definitely some relative, perceived wiggle room.

Youtube is not a good source to measure sounds

you want concrete evidence you need dB measures
Myth.

Just sharing little clips, definitely aware audio recording devices don't capture the peaks of sound.

Really? what gun? pics please? wet or dry?

i don't think wet matters for sound pressure? it seems reasonable that it might, but i don't actually know that. i thought people only shot wet to eliminate first round flash.
Once I saw some fucking inbred dump a can of diet soda into a suppressor so he could "run it wet". That's one level below the one toothed bump firing dirt shooting inbreds at the local gravel pit.

ospreys aren't the best can in the world either. you sacrifice db reduction for it's shape
