Well first off, it's called a suppressor, not a silencer. Silencer is just a Hollywood term.
Anyway, we can assume Hollywood likes the cooler noises that actual sounds. Like real guns would have that star burst flare when being fired.

Actually, Hiram Maxim, the man credited with inventing and selling the first commercially successful suppressor, called his device the Maxim Silencer, so it's not just a Hollywood term.

But the proper term is that it is called a Suppressor.
