Can a little larger bore, like the 9MM offer more knock down power and less noise vs a .22 LR? I suppose that would depend on the round used.

Just asking, not trying to advise.
I've never discharged my 9 without ear protection but I'm imagine it would be very loud indeed and certainly provide more knockdown. Further a 9 mm HP would do the target a YUGE amount of damage. I wouldn't want to do the cleanup after that.
