Congratulations on your hearing damage making things seem quiet? I've had somewhat fewer rounds, maybe 100k-200k, and 9mm is still deafeningly loud. I'm betting it's because I wore hearing protection for most of it...
For god's sakes, a simple internet search immediately shows the lack of evidence for 9mm being quiet.
You are correct, and that guy doesn't know he's deaf I guess. All pistols are loud enough to hurt your ears if your ears are normal. Even a .22LR pistol with a 6" target barrel is pretty loud to the naked ear.
I haven't shot that much, but I've found pistols to be louder than smaller rifles - probably because the barrels are shorter and they're a fair bit closer to your face.
I have the same experience, generally. It will definitely have a lot of room to wiggle around, depending on the particular gun's characteristics, the bullet's characteristics, and even the surrounding environment. If you read the wikipedia on it, you'll even see a section complaining about how measured dB levels are nearly useless if the distance from the source isn't measured. A lawn mower across the street isn't such a big deal, but the one pushing it should have hearing protection.
