It will be interesting to watch what happens with things like poaching with these things becoming legal.
I think someone has watched too many Hollywood movies.

I've owned and been shooting suppressed rifles for the past 3 years - they make shooting "hearing safe" - not silent. You have no idea how loud the supersonic crack of a bullet is until you strip away the "bang"...it's far from quiet, but it's not loud.
Granted shooting 208gr sub-sonic ammo out of my .300 BLK is fairly noiseless, but it's the ballistic equivalent of a .45acp - not exactly a poachers dream and I'm suspect that terminal ballistics would leave much to be desired.

I'm not of the opinion the we should limit the ability of law abiding citizens because someone "might" break a law.
