A suppressor cannot eliminate the supersonic crack, as this happens as soon as the bullet leaves the barrel/can, and happens the entire time the bullet is supersonic. It does diminish the report from the ignition of the round.

To answer the original question probably never, and the best time to start the waiting game was yesterday.
It all depends on which silencer you are discussing. Most silencers only slow gases exiting the muzzle, but there are other integral devices that are different:

MP5SD

An MP5SD along with other integral suppressors do not muffle the supersonic crack, the vented gas into the external chambers, before the muzzle, cause a drop in velocity often times below supersonic speeds. You cannot muffle a supersonic crack.
That's not what I said. You said "A suppressor cannot eliminate the supersonic crack"... In fact the integral device on the MP5SD vents gases from the barrel into the suppressor to reduce exit velocity to subsonic and therefore eliminates supersonic crack. :thumbs2:
It doesn’t eliminate the supersonic crack if there is no supersonic crack to eliminate. As a bullet travels down the barrel, it gains velocity, as pressure behind the bullet rises from cartridge ignition. With an integral suppressor, the round typically never reaches supersonic velocity; if it did, the suppressor would not muffle the sound of the supersonic crack. How can you take something away that does not exist?
