It's a safety issue for me, guns are very loud and over time could cause hearing damage. Yes, I use earplugs and even the battery powered hearing muffs but it's annoying when I could have a device that would make the headgear unnecessary.
While I agree I may be able to answer that.
I have a friend that is a SWAT team leader and he told me they use suppressors to differentiate between team members fire and that of perps.
I don't know if that's really a good answer, but it is interesting

It's not.
So many different types of guns and suppressors out there, the possibility of of a SWAT team member's rifle matching the sound of a perp's firearm is miniscule at best, even with similar suppressors.
