A 45 cal round lead ball pushed down into the case to touch the web, just powered by the primer, with no powder, will be less than 200 fps, and be loud.
It is loud because a handgun barrel + chamber volume is not large enough to expand the gas from the primer down to one atmosphere above ambient. This muzzle pressure above 2 atmospheres will causes super sonic gas escapement, and thus a sound wave with amplitude only limited by cavitation at the source, dropping off at 1/r in the near field, and 1/r squared in the far field.
