Throwing a brick is a gunshot?

[ジCORRUPTED SOUL]

Hello everyone! I recently bought this game and was able to finish a few heists but recently I had troubles as I threw a brick somewhere to distract a few people they detected it as an "gunshot" and wanted to ask if you all know if it was intentional feature or an bug

Gunshots immediately raise an alarm, is that what happens?

Was this a job that involved enemy gangsters? Perhaps you accidentally hit someone or something with the brick which alerted them? Or something else happened elsewhere just after you threw the brick, purely by coincidence. Gangsters fire their gun when they get alerted, as opposed to cops and guards who have radios, so their alarm trigger always appears as gunshots heard.

No clue if this could be it, but one thing i've noticed is that if you sprint when you throw the brick and keep sprinting after, there is a chance the guards/gangsters suspicion meter keeps rising when they get distracted by the brick, at the rate which they would detect you if you were to sprint infront of them, so like, insanely quick, even though you're not in their line of sight.
Weird bug, couldn't be anything else, I just refrain from sprinting when throwing bricks.

I did and guess what, still doesn't say if the alarm was raised or not.

I threw a brick to distract a guard, facing away from every other part of the map, and as the guard walked toward the brick the detection meter just kept going up until alarm was raised - for spotting a ziptied guard. It made no sense, there was no way this guard could have seen a ziptied guard in line of sight, or even in his cone of vision for unlimited distance with no obstructions. It just felt like the game decided I wasn't supposed to be able to stealth the mission and it bugged out. I have noticed that sometimes the bricks will make the guards do strange things - like the alert meter will climb randomly with no reason and go back down. This is the first time I've had it ruin a mission though.

I like to think some of the guards are just paranoid and ready to snap at any moment.

The brick is my favorite weapon

I have already encountered the same bug many times and each time I restart the mission.
Also, sometimes the guards have clairvoyant abilities regardless of the bricks.

I did have an tied up guard but they were the whole other side of the map
