How loud are firearms in DD& 5e, and can Artificers modify or build firearms to reduces the noise they make?

How far can you hear a gunshot, and what would be the standard DC for Perception (Wisdom) to detect it?

I understand you can cast Silence on the firearm, but I'd want to know if it is possible to reduce the noise or induce disadvantage on Perception (Wisdom) checks to detect it by mechanical means.

Example

1. You can hear gunshot noise up to X feet away at a DC of Y.
2. The Artificer modifies it or builds a new firearm with noise reduction.
3. You can hear the modded gunshot now up to X-Z feet away at a DC of Y-Z.

EX: 1. You can hear gunshot noise up to X feet away at a DC of Y. 2. The Artificer modifies it or builts a new firearm with noise reduction. 3. You can hear the modded gunshot now up to X-Z feet away at a DC of Y-Z.

How loud are firearms in DD& 5e and can Artificers modify or build firearms that reduces the noise it makes?

Basically how far can you hear a gunshot and the standard DC for Perception(Wisdom) to detect it?

While understand you can cast Silence on the firearm, I'd rather find was to reduce the noise by mechanical means that or give a disadvantage on Perception(Wisdom) checks to detect it.

EX: Gunshot noise can be heard up X feet away at a DC of Y With modification or built with some noise reduction So Modded Gunshot can now be heard up to X-Z feet at DC of Y-Z
