It’s remarkable how the game doesn’t seem to hear the Grendel. The more you shoot at animals the more you’ll see this phenomenon.

Congrats, great deer.

This is one of those issues where behavior is confused with capability. It isn't that the deer or other critters can't hear the noise. Snap a twig while making a stalk and I have seen heads turn from 75-100 yards away. So the issue isn't that they can hear the Grendel, suppressed or otherwise, but that they aren't reacting in the manner you expect.

Apparently, animals perceive the world quite differently. They don't understand external ballistics. Many don't understand being shot at until they are shot at, sometimes more than once. People have this problem as well.

Here is a great example. It could be argued that the deer didn't hear the gunshot because he doesn't react to the sound of them in a manner we would expect, but the deer obviously hears just fine as he responds to the grunt tube. The rifle appears to be unsuppressed. The deer doesn't leave until after the 3rd shot.
