You meant a sound testing thread or subforum?

Or do you mean somthing like a personal "range report".

In general, for suppressors, what I've seen here at ST is mostly manufacturers and form 1 builders posting (somewhat objective) test results or designs but even those aren't in any great number like subjective personal range reports on other forums.

There are a few picture threads here an there of various types of firearm builds, mostly with suppressors or SBR/SBS builds.

There is a hand loading subforum here but I don't recall seeing many chest thumping threads about what's the best PD ammo for knocking down bad guys with one shot.

For somewhat objective, 3rd party dB results there is http://www.nfatalk.org, http://www.silencerforum.com/ and http://www.silencerresarch.com which may not be maintained anymore since John sells silencers now.

That was a scattergun approach at answering your question(s) but if I didn't hit anything you may want to ask something more specific.

SilencerResearch/John hasn't done testing in years.

NFATalk.org seems pretty objective though I disagree with their testing methods.

SilencerForum/Major Malfunction has detailed and repeatable testing results just not enough.

Hence "which may not be maintained anymore since John sells silencers now".

It seems there is no one set of tests on which everyone agrees which is why I stuck "somewhat objective"

Which is why I listed all three :)

But thanks for the much needed clarification to my post.
