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?
