“I saw a suspicious person walking with a dog this evening”
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.
You can definitely feel the blast from a .308, or 30-06, but it’s unlikely that anyone is firing those in your neighborhood.
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?
Bro I play cod I know what guns sounds like gtfo
Sounds like if the doggies at home figured out how to type. “Oh no what’s that?! Maybe A MURDERER!?” :-P
