Device for reducing a firearm's report (8)

I believe the answer is:

silencer

(Other definitions for silencer that I've seen before include "Gun accessory" , "Reclines with muffling device" , "Exhaust quietener" , "Fitment for exhaust or gun barrel" , "Part of exhaust system" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
