“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.
Even still, from a distance it’s more of a crack than a boom.
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
This also happens daily on the Ring camera app lol

As someone who lives in country Australia, it’s quite common here too. A popular pastime among the young guys out here is to jump into their ute, load up their guns, and go down the highway shooting every street sign they see. I usually hear it every Friday and Saturday night.
Didn’t know my cousins were Australians
Also “I saw a car I didn’t recognize slow down in front of my house, so I called the cops. It was obviously a drug dealer.”
I’m British so I’d be pretty sure they were fireworks where I live.
But I’d still be a bit on edge. There’s a good chance it’s either being set off by a bunch of dumb kids throwing them at each other in the street who’d stab me if I confronted them or by some complete moron who has no idea what they’re doing and it could go fucking anywhere.
“This guy came to my door and rang my doorbell. I don’t recognize him, but he’s black. I’ve informed the police.”
