Close in hunting, medium game, with carbines. I know the 30-30 rules that particular list for power and versatility. But how about noise?

My guess is 30-30 has the most blast, then 357 full power carbine,....then original factory 44-40 power out of a lever gun would have to be less than either?

Any noticeably less effect between them for the purpose of not deafening my hunting dogs? or do they all rank as 'real loud'?
