Which is louder, the .223 or the 7.62x39, and how would these compare to a a riot gun with buckshot? ALthough it's an exponential scale, it would still be good to know the actual decibal level of each.
.223 vs. 7.62x39 noise

Barrel length and muzzle attatchments will make a big difference.
Generally the 223 will be louder than 7.62X39, and the 12 guage will be right even with the latter, but it will be more of a boom than a crack.
As always-YMMV.

I put the muzzle brake included with my Tapco compliance kit on my Yugo SKS, and it significantly cut the noise. Enough so that I wouldn't worry at all about shooting it in an emergency situation without plugs. (But I don't plan on making a habit of it.)

.223 is more of a crack, while 7.62x39 is more of a boom. Both are out of 16" barrels, with no muzzle attachments.
