Man, I have. In the last 20 years I've seen / heard add on cans get as quiet as MP5SD setups with the correct ammo. That is pretty amazing to me. 20 years ago you could get a .22 that quiet, not 9mm or any other handgun round.

Using standard 5.56 and .308 still gives you a ballistic crack and it will never be "pew pew" quiet, but we have come a long way. The Ti cans are also a lot lighter. Cans that almost tame 5.56 and .308 have gotten smaller and lighter.
