I bought 3 of them separately since 2012 and Ron gave me a handful to demo to people I know in the special operations community. The one that has seen the highest round count is on my SCAR 17 and I have put probably 2,500-3,500 rounds through it since November and the only time I hear it "Ringing" is when I bounce it off of something metallic. Even then it is very faint and fades quickly.
I also have the "Arc helix" hiders in 5.56, but I am waiting until I get the 5.56 conversion kit for the SCAR to test those out.
