Answer 1

Subsonic rounds are quieter because they do not break the speed of sound. You will know how this affects things if you have ever spent time in the butts holding a target up- supersonic rounds are LOUD.

However, it will still sound like a gunshot. This is where the silencer/supressor comes in, damping the sound of the muzzle bark. On my bolt action, CBC .22, I can hear the click of the firing pin over the crack of the muzzle.

Even with high velocity rounds, the muzzle bark is damped with a silencer, more of a thump than a bang, and more difficult for the rabbit/hare to figure out where it came from...
