The locations of microphones used to detect gunshots have been kept hidden from police and the public. A WIRED analysis of leaked coordinates confirms arguments critics have made against the technology.

That’s what suppressors are for
Suppressors aren’t movie quiet, they just bring down the noise to make it hearing safe.
This leads me to wonder, would a suppressor actually trick these machines, does it have to be supersonic to pick it up?
And, what happens when someone near a sensor needs a new roof? Roofers constantly harassed by cops? “Not allowed to use .22 cal nail guns?” Would this thing not pick up Ramsets?
Well, the bullet will travel faster than the sound of the shot so no
Depends, some loads are subsonic especially for suppressor use. I’m looking at you, 300BLK
Probably not, since there has to be some processing of the noise to identify what it is. TheBackyardScientist did a video somewhat similar to that, here: https://piped.video/watch?v=4WSQqDHK1Yw
Whether the mics would pick it up would depend on if you use supersonic bullets. They would sense that they are shutting off for some reason though.
Edit: If you shoot one but another is in range to pick it up then it would. This is starting to sound like a cs problem.
Can we zoom in on the sound and enhance it to triangulate the shooter’s IP address on the Unix mainframe?
Youll need to write a gooey in visual basic first
