I know that people load to save cash, for the fun of it, and for accuracy, but what about loading for the sound of it? This falls under the "for the fun of it."

Obviously using a light load with a heavy bullet and keeping it subsonic will produce less noise, but what if you want MORE noise?

Without blowing up the gun, what do you think might work? Would the burn rate of the powder make a difference? What about the bullet weight? What about the seating depth?

The most logical thing is the opposite of subsonic ammo... load a light bullet with maximum powder charge. I would also think that a short barrel would be louder than a long barrel.

Would a longer barrel produce a lower sound than a short one? What if pitch is the objective?
