I live in a rural area where I hear gunshots often. Most of the time its off in the distance and people are target practicing outside in their yard.
Sound is a funny thing. Even when its the same person shooting over and over again the sound can get louder or softer depending on how I myself turn. So if I turn a certain way I can hear it much louder than if I turn a different way or move around my own yard.
Sound also varies greatly if the muzzle of the gun is pointed in the direction of the person hearing the sound or in opposite direction of them.
The bottom line is sound of gunshots can vary a lot even if people doing the shooting and the people doing the hearing only move a little bit.
Exactly! Well said!
