Can you tell the difference between fireworks and gunshots?

gunshots have more of a crack to them, where as fireworks have a softer bang.
another clue is the echo. fireworks explode high in the air, making the sound reach evenly over an area, where as a gunshot at street level will echo distinctly off of surfaces and in different directions.
gunshots are also generally very repetitive fired in quick secession, and fireworks have a distinct pause between bursts.

You don’t hear sirens after fireworks?.. 🤔

Yeah! There is literally a metallic sound to a gun shot. Easy to recognize.

Yeah. When the bullet whizzes past your head it sounds like a huge June bug that is also really fast.

Most kinds of fireworks don’t have the backfire sound, so yes

Ha, yes, for the most part.

Both are illegal here so probably not.

Shotgun sound would be closest to a firework.

Yes. I can even usually tell if it's a handgun or long gun.
After living downtown for six years…yes. 😳

Fireworks, auto backfire, gunshots; each quite distinctive.
