Port noise is the limiting factor for me, and being left handed, it's particularly an issue being 7" from my right ear. Still, most of my Blackouts are tolerable, the .458 is louder in my ear so I usually wear a plug in that one except when hunting. Repeaters are still king of quiet, and with some of them, the lock is the loudest part. There are some tricks for adding buffers to bolt-action rifle firing pins, but at some point, quiet enough is quiet enough.
