it has nothing to do with bolt action or semi auto it has to do with the round and how well the suppressor is made. a suppressor is made with chambers in it to allow the blast from the ammunition to disperse before exiting the barrel which in turns makes the weapon quieter. You can still fire a 50 bmg rifle with a suppressor without having hearing protection in that is what a suppressor is made to do.
@DThompson1985 You probably mean that this guy is using subsonic ammo. Which means that the round isnt breaking the soundbarier. In combination with a supressor you get a significant decrease in loundness.
If he was using supersonic ammunition, you would still hear a loud bang, weather or not he is using a silencer.
Point is, bolt action has got nothing to do with it. Try and search for a video of a supressed bolt action .50 BMG-caliber rifle. You dont want to put your ear on the rifle then.
@TheHevquip what makes it so quiet is that its a bolt action, there is nothing slapping back and forth to make all the noise you hear with a semi auto.
I know it's tough to understand, but if you stop being a knee jerk mouth breather for one minute and take time to comprehend the whole argument you will get it. The guy said it was a 22, you know, 22LR with a shell casing about an inch long. The shooter has an ejection port n 3"+. I rebutted the 22 argument AND gave reason to why it was so quiet. The guy was saying the rifle was NOT a 308 but a 22. Read, Comprehend, then form a substantive thought. You'll get further.

@gracer99 Yeah, the gas system is what makes the semi-autos louder correct?

@FrankieStoker1987 actually DThompson1985 is right. All things being equal, a bolt action will be quieter than a semi-auto.
