Florida deputy Jesse Hernandez screamed “shots fired,” and frantically fired his gun after an acorn fell onto the roof of his squad car, making him jump.
The suspect in the car was known to have at least one pistol with a suppressor. That being said, the guy was given a cursory pat-down and could not have had a suppressed firearm on him unless it was in him.
A properly setup suppressed pistol fired from within a vehicle would be fairly quiet, but would sound nothing like an acorn bouncing off a car and you would know if you were hit.
He has no business being a cop if he freaks out when an acorn bounces off a car and taps his vest. Luckily the suspect was not physically harmed and the cop resigned. Hopefully the suspect gets a nice payout from the city.

That suspect was also handcuffed, not just hanging around.
A Glock 17 9mm pistol is 162 db, with a suppressor it is 126 db. That’s roughly as loud as a jackhammer. Not exactly what I’d call quiet.
