Are gunshots louder at night than day?

All things being equal, the amount of noise a weapon makes with the same ammunition should be the same. A gunshot may SEEM louder at night mostly because there is a lot less noise from other sources in the night. The decrease in background noise can allow the sound of a gunshot to carry much further.

How do you make a huge bang in a water bottle bomb?

Hydrochloric acid and aluminum. It creates the biggest bang I've ever heard, even louder than a dry ice bomb to my prescriptive. In fact, before I continued testing these bombs, I had to check in with the neighbors so they won't be thinking the explosion sound was a gunshot or a real explosive. The explosion itself propels the bottle shards in all directions, unlike most other bottle bombs that just erupt from a random side of the bottle. So I think the HCL and aluminum or "the Works" bomb is the best one.
