Depends on which type of gun.If you mean a pistol though,BANG,BANG,BANG!, and so on.

AnswerBullets don't make noises...they are faster than the speed of sound, so the further away from it you are, the more chance you will be dead before you even hear the shot. The bullet leaving the gun makes a noise, when the shot is fired, but bullets are then very silent until they hit something, or 'whistle' close by you (overhead ect, note: they don't actually 'whistle' noice more of a 'ffffffmmmmppp' deadened noise)

If a supersonic bullet passes you, it sounds like a stick breaking. This is the "sonic boom" of the small projectile.

A sub-sonic bullet may make little to no noise, as it doesn't create a sonic boom.

A ricocheting bullet can make a variety of sounds, depending on its odd-shape after hitting the primary surface (that caused the ricochet). Often it makes the "Fweee!" sound, sometimes a "wo-wo-wo-wo-wo" type of sound. Just depends on what shape it takes, how fast its going, its rotation and how that interacts with the air.

Ok. So first there is the sound of the explosion in the bullet casing when the bullet goes off. Then when the bullet flies through the air and there is a slight sound. The sound is like when you whip something around so fast such a a rope. It goes so fast that it makes a wiffle sound like a wiffle ball. I hope this helped.

Does a bullet rise or fall first after fired?

The sound may or may not "come first" when a bullet is fired. Particularly if we make the decision after collecting data from down range. The muzzle velocity of some firearms does notexceed the speed of sound. In those cases, the sound will reach a "target" down range before the bullet does. But the muzzle velocity of other firearms does exceed the speed of sound, and in those cases, the bullet will arrive down range before the sound does.
