Probably a stupid question but here goes.
As a can/baffles accumulates carbon thru use will its db level increase? ETA: Well...thought is was. Does no one know? |

A dirty suppressor is often quieter than a clean one. That's why a lot of people will just knock the chunks out of a rimfire can instead of trying to make the baffles look new again.
At some point, suppression would start to suffer due to a loss of interior volume...but that may take awhile. For example, I'd guess this can isn't as quiet as it used to be. Pic was taken after a local suppressor shoot this weekend...lots of FA 22. (Not going to embed the pic because the original is huge) |

Possibly as the interior spaces change in size and shape due to the build up, the can no longer performs as it should. |

| My form 1 .22 freeze plug build got noticeably quieter as it got dirty. I don't scrub it clean as others have said, just get the big stuff out. I would assume the crud helps absorb sound compared to reflective bare metal and maybe add a tiny amount of turbulence. |

My guess is that a thin layer of build up gives more surface area for absorbing the new unburned particulate in subsequent shots. Sort of like activated charcoal filters for drinking water. MHO, YMMV, etc. |
