My neighbors swear they hear gunshots in our neighborhood every night. I grew up around guns in WV and I’ve shot plenty of guns. I don’t know what they’re actually hearing but it’s not gunshots and I can’t convince them any different. People believe what they want to believe and if the news they watch is all crime news then crime must be up.
Probably just fireworks, my neighbors constantly shoot them off for any reason on any day that ends with "y", people who don't know what gunshots sound like often confuse the two.
Fireworks, cars backfiring, and construction noises. I lived in a nice part of Oakland for years and Nextdoor was full of people terrified of these spectres
My Nextdoor is filled with people fearfully asking why there are helicopters overhead ... when we live near numerous hospitals with helipads.
There's a lot of roofing going on where I live, and some of my neighbors think the nail guns they use are gun guns.
