    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.

    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.”

    Sounds like if the doggies at home figured out how to type. “Oh no what’s that?! Maybe A MURDERER!?” :-P

      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.

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

    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?
