140 dB will most certainly require the use of hearing protection for the shooter. I would have to ask myself why I would want an extra 4.5 oz of barrel or weight if I'm going to still need to wear hearing protection? I'd use a bare muzzle if its 140 dB at my ear. I've been using at titanium spin-on that weighs 11 oz for the last 12 years or so. I can shoot all day long without hearing protection with it.
