The sound of gunfire off in the distance
I'm getting used to it now.
The annual illegal fireworks extravaganza has begun here in the Almaden Valley. Let me describe how it sounds to me.
Off to the west, there is intermittent rifle fire - battle rifle caliber, maybe AK-47s. Beyond that, a machinegun is firing in suppressive mode; with long bursts that will burn out his barrel.
To the east, quite nearby, a sniper is plying his trade. His shots come in ones and twos, but since he's firing something heavy, they are quite noticeable... wait, sounds like his targets have located him and are returning fire.
Whoops, somebody called in mortar fire, or tripped a big IED.
The firefight out west reached a crescendo and then dropped off. A few final shots. Probably wounded losers not smart enough to surrender.
This is how my brain works in processing sounds.
