A unsilenced 9mm out of a handgun is normally around 160db (assuming common ammunition and a common type of handgun). A reduction to 125db with a silencer seems about right.
That graphic is very simple. It doesn’t include important variables like the ammunition type, and the design features or the volume of the silencer.

Absolutely. To add perspective, typical firearm hearing protection reduces sound by 25-35dB.
I’m sure the full story is more complicated when taking into account frequencies, duration of the spike in sound, etc.
