Random gun fire. Glitch?

[Dagoth Wit 21]

My friend and I were scoping out the factory east of Polana. While we were sitting there, we suddenly heard three shots back to back to back. It sounded like a military assault rifle and it sounded REAL close. It didn't sound like we were being shot at and there weren't any zombies around. We never saw a person.

Could this just be some random glitch or did someone shoot at us and then disconnect?

You get that sound if you were changing sound settings - weren't doing that was you?

No, although that freaked me out the first time it happened.

I often hear 3 quick shots from what seem to be a close distance, i believe its a sound effect thing as my brother has reported hearing it as well.

Yea, I know what your talking about. To me, it sounds like a bird going through the trees.
