Sound suppression is precisely the idea. Especially when shooting under cover, the report to the shooter is amplified by any structure around them. A suppressor attached to a muzzle brake not only performs as a muzzle brake, it reduces the trauma to the shooter's hearing. I already have serious hearing damage from my military service which has resulted in trauma on the auditory nerve on my left side. I would like to minimize any further damage in my old age.
Besides, for me to install a muzzle brake on my .308 I will need to have it either threaded or re-barrelled. I might as well put on a 6.5 Creedmoor barrel.
