[@rompevuevitos222]

It's a bit of an oversight actually, all pathings are 2D and are spread in layers (with one per floor). Sound does not propagate like in real life, it just defines a spot that the enemy must check out. If you shoot at the roof, it looks for the nearest pathing layer that the guard can go to to inspect said point. While it normally tries to look down to account for cases where you may shoot walls, the ceiling is just too close to the upper floor's layer and it chooses that instead.

[@FiksIIanzO]

I don't know, if someone shot my ceiling, I'd probably see and hear the putty scattered by the shot hitting the floor. Oh, and a bullet hole

Being fair, it makes the games way more enjoyable. You don't have the same senses as 47. You can't hear people as well, have the same reaction times, or even seen shadows like a normal person could, etc. So to account for that, they give you a grace period.

Kinda funny that silent assassin is without anyone knowing there was an assassin present yet, shooting a gun at randoms spots to distract people is a main strategy.

[@mysticwizard1943]

Honestly, it's not THAT unbelievable if you're willing to just go with the game logic. In real life, if you were far enough away from a suppressed pistol with a locked slide firing sub-sonic ammunition, and there was a lot of background noise (like a stadium full of people at an F1 race or in the middle of a jungle), and the bullet didn't wizz right past you, then all you'd hear is the impact. That impact would definitely get your attention, but if the conditions were met then it'd basically sound like a loud thwack and the crumble of concrete (or whatever). In the game the slide isn't locked, but whatever. Moving gun parts look cooler and cocking your gun after every shot in a game where you often need to make lots of quick shots quietly would be annoying (MGSV does it with the tranq gun, and in tense situations where you want to take out several people quickly it can really be a pain). You'd also need to be much, much farther away to not hear the pop from the cartridge being fired, but again it would be so far that it would make the silenced pistol useless in regular play. NPC's in Hitman do actually have scripting for recognizing when a bullet distraction was actually a bullet though, so it does take some thought to do correctly. Any time you do a bullet distraction and you get "bullet impact noticed" they know it wasn't just a noise, but the rules kind of make sense. If they see the impact rather than just hear it, if you're too close and they hear the gun and the impact, or if you shoot twice/do another bullet distraction while they're investigating the first (whether they see the impact or not) then they'll know it came from a gunshot. The only thing that doesn't make a lot of sense is that they don't look at a bullet hole and realize it's a bullet hole, but from a design standpoint it was probably a good move to let you use the gun as a relatively safe long-distance distraction tool rather than being an immediate kick to the hornet's nest.
