I got my first noise complaint watching Heat in a small apartment with newly bought surround sound.

Interesting thing about the audio during that gunfight: During filming there were microphones all around the area getting the noises of the blanks being fired so that in Post they could time the foley gunshot sounds with the visual flashes of the blanks being fired. Michael Mann listened to the foley work and said "This sounds nothing like how it was on set. It sounds artificial" so then they just used the sounds of the blanks from the original footage.

See the thing is when they filmed it, all of the roads around downtown LA were cut off from regular traffic so it was relatively quiet, and the reports of the blanks echoed in that concrete canyon in a very ominous way. Mann heard the original while filming, and then heard the foley and was "no, that's not as visceral as it was IRL. Keep the original audio"

It was the same thing for the movie "Open Range", except it was the reverberation off the cow poo poo and spittoon can that set it apart

Setting up a mic to catch the proper in camera/mic "splut" and "p-TING" is a science.
