Yes. You can suppress a firearm, you can even make it very quite, but you cannot silence it. A “silencer” is a movie fiction item.

With a supersonic round, the shock wave is far louder than the detonation of the round.

A .22 bolt action rifle with a suppressor is pretty quiet. Less db than a cough, more than a fart.
