Pj what the guys told you fairly correct.

muzzle blast tends to kick up debris, twigs etc around infrontof where it is fired from, IE you have a little cloud of crap around you for a sec after you fire, easy for enemy to spot.

Sounds are much harder to track down, especially if they do not have a regular pattern.

usually it takes a sound pattern of three to locate an unknown sound in an unknown place.

first instance alerts you, second give you general direction/distance, third usualty pinpoints it.

but if you quieten down the sound level, it's not heard as far out, plus the level of sound would make you initially think it was coming from farthur off than it really is.
