A silencer is more properly called a sound suppressor. Silencers do not make a firearm truly silent, they only reduce the noise.
The sound of a gunshot is composed of two things - the blast of hot gas exiting the muzzle at high speed and the crack of the bullet breaking the sound barrier. The silencer deals with the gas.
The inside of a a silencer is a lot like a car muffler. It's basically a large can with barriers called baffles. The gas bounces around these baffles and in the process expands and slows down so that it makes little to no noise as it exits.

Does a soda bottle silencer work?
I don't think it would work very well. I've seen videos on the internet and if the gun used is a normal power gun, the sound seems normally loud. If the gun used is a .22LR rifle with standard velocity or subsonic ammunition, it seems quiet, but then even without any kind of suppressor / silencer / moderator those kinds of guns sound quiet. A real silencer has several baffles inside it. The "soda bottle" silencer would only have one baffle--the base of the bottle itself.
