All the blank ammo I ever used was very loud. I can't see blank ammo silencing anything, especially because a silencer isn't like a muffler on a car.
My advice, if you are shooting a scene with a gun that is supposed to be silenced is to find a matching green gas airsoft version to the working hero gun, and use that for any "silencer" scenes.
It's becoming more and more common for hollywood to use these anyway, and lay in digital muzzle flash and ejecting brass.
And a lot of sci-fi flicks like Aeon Flux are building the hero guns from green gas pistols too.
