You probably don't even need a recording for a car, if it's like ShotSpotter, a lot of common noises that will trigger them. ShotSpotter has a specific "firework suppression mode" turned on for holidays and still 1 in 10 alerts were from fireworks: https://data.aclum.org/2024/04/08/boston-shotspotter/

Yeah this whole effort is just more money wasted on security theater and this whole discussion thread is filled with disgruntled tech workers who drive into the city rather than take Bart and are so clearly salty about the inconvenience of people being people. To be honest I would have thought sideshows would’ve gone out of style by now I’m sort of impressed it’s this much of a problem lol
