"subsonic" doesd not relate to the loudness of the fired cartridge. It relates to the speed of the bullet, and the sound generated when the bullet exceeds the speed of sound.

Example: The old-fashioned "Cherry Bombs"
and "Ash Can" firecrackers did not break the sonic barrier, however, they were loud.

Second example: Even an air-operated pellet pistol makes noise...
