The more effective solution to avoid attracting enemy attention is by instead equipping subsonic ammunition to their weapons, which reduces the noise produced by the gun in exchange for less damage.

* ArtificialBrilliance: In contrast to previous titles, German soldiers can now spot the player from much farther, and will make active efforts to investigate any areas where suspicious noises, especially gunshots, are coming from. And rather than investigate these areas individually, they will now do so in squad-sized formations, sweeping the area for possible enemy presence.

** The Welrod, in contrast to previous depictions, is instead a downplayed version of this. Equipping regular ammunition to it will still cause enemies to investigate the area when the weapon is fired, albeit from a much smaller radius in comparison to other weapons. Again, fitting subsonic ammunition will have it come closer to playing this trope straight, at the cost of less damage done.
