i accidntally shot a snub-nosed 38 loaded with hydra-shok in our small bedroom, it was loud but absorbed by the carpet/furniture etc,

Carpeting and furnishings, I would think, would make a difference.....
As would the location of the muzzle relative to the unprotected ears .....
If a gun is loud for the shooter, who has the gun pointing
away from him ..... imagine how much louder it would be for someone with the gun pointing
at them! Then again, if the shooter is concentrating on putting the front sight on the target, and squeezing the trigger properly, then the target will have more pressing concerns than the loud BANG!-BANG! noise.....
