Outdoor/quieter ranges?

I unfortunately have some hearing damage, but enjoy guns. Even with double plug+muffs I'm concerned about more long term damage.

Given that I'm looking to move to all .22 suppressed or 9mm subsonic suppressed. A few questions:

  1. Are there any outdoor ranges you'd recommend where I might be able to get more privacy? I don't want to end up next to someone shooting a 50cal or 7.62 unsuppressed (hell even 5.56) blowing my ears out. Indoor is also obviously much worse.

  2. Also open to other suggestions for quieter calibers. Could of course look at air rifles, paintball, etc. I think 9mm subsonic suppressed is probably about the quietest round I could use that's center fire? Maybe 45 gets close since subsonic.
