“I saw a suspicious person walking with a dog this evening”

Bro I play cod I know what guns sounds like gtfo

I used to have a motorcycle that would give a couple of pops out of the exhaust if I closed the throttle too fast. I wonder how many Nextdoor conversations it started?

“This guy came to my door and rang my doorbell. I don’t recognize him, but he’s black. I’ve informed the police.”

If you can “feel” the bass frequencies of the boom, probably fireworks. If it sounds like more of a loud snap, gunshots. This assumes the shot/blast is fairly far away. That’s my best guess.
