2 factors come in to play when silencing a weapon. First and foremost, you must be using a round that is not exceeding the speed of sound. All standard 22 magnum cartridge are faster than the speed of sound. When you shoot a cartridge faster than the speed of sound, it creates a sonic-boom, this is the crack you hear when shooting.

The containment of explosion can be handled by a silencer.

Can a 22 long rifle be chambered in a 22 mag rifle?

With the exception of a few revolvers made with interchangeable cylinders, the .22 LR and .22 magnum cartridges should NOT be substituted for each other. The .22 magnum is a larger diameter cartridge than the .22 LR. Firing a LR cartridge in a magnum rifle will result in a split cartridge case, venting of gasses, etc. They cannot be traded with one another.
