Sound basicly decays so the longer it is in the barrel the more the sound will be reduced before it is released.

 

For example in a motorcycle engine the noise level is 170db but at the end of the exhaust it is around 96db (legal) note that is with baffels and so on.

 

So laws of pysics would suggest that with exaxtly the same moderator the shorter barrel will be slightly louder.

 

My 16 inch .17hmr with SAK is fairly quiet. I would say if you fancy the shorter gun for balance or just the asthetics then go for it.

Dave if you get the chance try the ASE ulta on your HMR i had the SAK on mine but the ultra is quieter.
