Zero.
The report of a round fired from one is another thing altogether.

A handgun has no "decibles". A fired cartridge will produce sound waves which can be measured by the "decibel" method which is a unit used to express differences in power of acoustics; equal to ten times the common logarithm of the ratio of two signals. Does that answer your question? If not then make the question more detailed and check your spelling.

Depends. Anywhere from very few to hundreds. There are a thousand different handguns that have been made and they are all different. Can you be more specific?

the handgun alone is silent, but when fired it is over the 80 db range, so wear hearing protection
