In all fairness, there is no silencer that works like hush does. Real silencers (or suppressors, both more professional and acurate word for it) prevent the sonic boom from occuring as the bullet leaves the barrel. The sonic boom is distinctive, incredibly loud, and can actually be felt to an extent.

This doesn't change that the bullet is accelerated with a controlled explosion - innately loud. It also doesn't prevent the mechanical noise in automatic and semi automatic weapons.
