Answer:
Explanation: If you wanted realism, I'll tell you briefly of four different situations I've heard guns go off without ear protection.
If you're 30 feet away from a large caluber hunting rifle, its very loud, but not damaging.
If you're in the next room from a small caliber pistol in a home, it may not even sound like a gun, and you'll walk over to see what it was.
If you're in a large concrete room (a shooting range) and there are multiple shooters, you will cover your ears and run out to put your protection on, or struggle with them where you stand.
If you are within 6 feet of a shotgun, especially if shooting the shotgun, it will be so loud that you may only feel and pressure in your ears like when they pop. All sounds will be deafened for a brief moment, and hearing will slowly be regained over the course of a few seconds. I was shooting a 12 guage without “ears” on and didn't even hear the shot, and neither did the person standing next to me. This can happen indoors in close proximity as well. But, as I mentioned before, if it's in another room separated by one or more closed doors, it's just an abnormally loud noise. I wasn't sure if the one I heard was a gunshot because it was in a large heavily carpeted bedroom that really absorbed the sound.
So in summary, close proximity — no audible shot, ears only ring when indoors. Medium proximity — very loud, but not damaging. Distant proximity — concussive gunshot. And identifying gunshots from other noises requires an understanding of the difference between a concussive and a percussive sound, the former being an explosion, and the latter being a striking of two objects together.
If you don't have experience with guns, gunshots are more concussive than fireworks. Gunshots are meant to violently explode and expell energy immediately, whereas fireworks are more tuned towards pushing multiple projectiles all around them, so they're “slower”; more of a boom than a bang. Distance blurs the line between “booms” and “bangs” because of reverberations and volume. Certain sound frequencies also travel further through the air and different obstructions such as buildings and trees.
