The numbers themselves tell you this is most likely true. 40dB is equivalent to a whisper, 60dB is a normal conversation. A suppressed rifle shot is not going to be this quiet.
I'm sure the suppressor nevertheless is very effective. What I can't understand about Gunworks suppressors is they always look monstrous in size compared to the competition.

you may well be right about the decibel meter it is just an ozito one (i'm guessing from mitre 10) it was provided to me by Gunworks....I think Gimp's suggestion of measuring the report (un suppressed) in the same way is a great idea as it will show he difference as a percentage. which may be of much greater value.
Needless to say it is very effective. you could easily run it with 2 baffles to reduce muzzle forward length and weight if you felt so inclined.
I will point out i am in no way a qualified sound tech and have zero knowledge about the dynamics involved in measuring sound.
