Well in my personal situation, it opens up more times i can shoot. I shoot on private land mainly, and have made an agreement with our closest neighbors that I won't shoot on sunday evenings when they have family dinners. Now I can because they won't be able to tell the difference. Also, being young and stupid, my ears are already pretty damaged from years of shooting without ear protection. Now when I forget my ear plugs, it's not a big deal. And finally, a 22 suppressor with subsonic ammunition just makes you smile. On my m&p15-22 the loudest thing you hear is the bullet hitting dirt or steel.
Bolt action rifles suppressed are even quieter. This is my Izmash Biathlon rifle, the first noise you hear is the action/bolt closing, which is louder than the actual firing of the round.
