Concert noise is around 120 db. If someone was shooting in the middle of the concert at 130 or 160 db, yeah, it's louder. If they're firing from 100 yards away, the math here is way above me, but it's not as loud. In this instance, the guy was around 300 yards away. How much drop off in db's there was, no idea. People there reported hearing firecrackers. I would assume dropping it 20-30 db's, they might not have heard much of anything.

Perhaps so. I will admit the math for the noise/distance is way above me as well.

I just knew that silencer don't work like they do in movies. "Silencers" make guns silent about as much as "bulletproof" vests are actually bulletproof. But nobody wants to buy a "makes your gun slightly quiet-er" or a "may or may not stop a bullet-vest", I guess.
