I have no measured database, but I made and modified many silencers during more than half century, as I play with engines.
First of all, practically every usual silencers can fulfill the requirements of FAI Sporting code. (As I know by heart it is below 94 dB (A), measured from 1 meter, (no reflective object at the area).
All we want lower, furthermore not too sharp, irritating sound.
As I observed, there are some antagonistic limits:
-when the chamber is smaller than 5 x swept volume of the engine, the sound will be too loud and sharp, or the silencer makes too high counter-pression for the engine, resulting power loss, and poor sensitivity in manoeuvres.
-when the chamber is 10 x or more than swept volume, we can get affordable silent and "round" sound, with good responsibility of the engine, but its weight and dimensions will be unaffordably big...
-one thing pro memoria: usually the model needs some silicone tube at the end of the silencer's outlet: it is very easy to make some unwanted Helmholtz resonator, which works differently at different rpm's, for this reason there must be implemented some baffle etc. to eliminate all resonances.
