Yes, you would have reduced recoil and sound with that reduced powder charge - but not substantially reduced. Recoil would not be as stout as the original Magnum load, but still very noticeable. Sound levels would still Be loud and require sound dampening (earmuffs or plugs for comfort and safety). What you have created ballistically, in effect, is a 38 Special.

To your second question, yes, a 38 Special would go through a 2x4 at point blank range.
