ha Ha HA! I bought a 7.62x54R Vepr w/16in bbl. That is always a good way to calm folks down who might *think* a 5.56 is offensive.
Out here in CO, there's a lot of folks who shoot hunting/target rifles with truly powerful cartridges. You want to know what a "thump" is? stand next to a guy who's sighting in his .300 win mag on an indoor range.
I've been in classes with and next to lots of brakes/comps and FH. the only thing I ever found to be truly offensive was the Y Comp; After that, I guess nothing seemed too bad.
One guy next to me was using a BCE - definitely "annoying".
I'd give a look at the Simple Threaded Devices, um...device: http://simplethreadeddevices.com/content/description
No personal experience, but it was purpose designed to address your concerns.
But fundamentally, rifles are loud, braked rifles are louder, and big rifles are loudest. Get good ear pro and enjoy the "breeze" when your friends shoot - it's good for flinch control!
