Years ago I was experimenting and built something along that line out of 10-12 or so Passenger car tires wired together with a small (wheelbarrow size) on each end.
No insulation or any such, just tires.
I was always the shooter so have no idea if it reduced noise levels.

One day i fired a pistol (likely 357) sans ear protection.

I thought my head had exploded.

As I think back, I do not think I ever tried shooting through it again.

Would love to see the other version.

One on the net ended up with a fire from the accumulated unburned powder as I recollect.

Mice ans squirrels in the insulation would likely be an issue as well as WASPS.
