The only airsoft silencer I've seen that's effective at suppressing sound is a TM Socom Mk23 NBB. It doesn't muffle it entirely, but when one is firing it and has a hard time hearing it themselves, it is safe to say that it works well.

But I'll agree that attaching a sound suppressor to an AEG and expecting it to be quieter is an exercise in futility. Gearboxes are just too loud.
