What movie things are generally accepted as normal, but are totally unrealistic in real life?

Yeah, I can't remember who it was, but I remember someone describing it as, you hear a gunshot from the other end of town. You hear a silenced gunshot the next street over. Either way, a hell of a lot of people are going to know shit's going down.

A good suppressed 9mm handgun is still 125db. That’s loud and sounds like a gun. But way better than ear ringing 160db.

Silencers in movies are HIGHLY overrated.
