I have one of the Marlin Camp 45s. I don't know what barrel length it is. First, let me say that I wear a pair of the Tac 6s religiously. I want to retain my hearing!
When I pulled the trigger on the Marlin for the first time, I thought that the bullet must have been a dud, so I started checking for a stuck round in the bore. Not so. Another shot, same result. It was quieter than my 10/22. I took my hearing protection off and it didn't hurt AT ALL. It was VERY comfortable and very entertaining. It seemed strange that this thing didn't make any more noise than it did.
I don't know what you have in mind, but this gun is fun to shoot. This barrel length works, too. Keep in mind that if you reload, you have some control over how much noise any length barrel would make.
