I was curious as to whether anyone has any info on the frequency attenuation the silencers I'm seeing built on here will handle. I would figure they would absorb a lot of the higher frequencies and some mids, but I'm mainly interested to know how they do at attenuating LOW frequencies. Also, there was a chart somewhere that listed db for things like regular conversation, traffic noise, a jet plane etc etc. Does anyone have any info as to where to find this chart or one that has the frequencies of different types of sounds (like normal speech, a snare drum etc etc) Anyone know? Thanx!
