That's what suppressors are for

Suppressors aren't movie quiet, they just bring down the noise to make it hearing safe.

This leads me to wonder, would a suppressor actually trick these machines, does it have to be supersonic to pick it up?

And, what happens when someone near a sensor needs a new roof? Roofers constantly harassed by cops? "Not allowed to use .22 cal nail guns?" Would this thing not pick up Ramsets?
