Fireworks on Sonos

My poor dog is freaked out every 4th of July by fireworks going boom around us.  I understand that it is just not just my dog.  I would like to come up with a program that Sonos could play that every once in while it would randomly go BANG!  That way our animals will get used to the fireworks and not be bothered.  Does anyone know how we can make this happen?   Thanks.

    In my urban neighborhood there is currently a fireworks competition that has been intensifying over the last several weeks. We have nightly, competing shows. It suggests misbehaving teens or individuals who are reliving their misbehaving teen years.

    I will not mess with fireworks because they are too loud, they are fire hazards, and the quality control for retail fireworks is dreadful. I don’t think that it is safe to be around fireworks.

    And, perhaps I became spoiled as an adult while I was living a couple blocks from the river and with every major holiday there were large scale fireworks launched from a river barge. I could walk the couple blocks, avoid the traffic jams, and have a horizon to horizon view from a safe distance.

    This is in connection with the coming July 4th that is still far away?! If so, that many days of this nonsense sounds like India..:grin: ...The other bad thing about fireworks, even those that don’t make a noise is the amount of smoke they put out that then hangs about in the air, that troubles anyone with any respiratory issues.

    Perhaps, but this activity started with the lifting of some Covid-19 restrictions a few weeks ago. Initially there were a couple ‘celebrations’, then it seemed to evolve into a competition. I’m sure that this competition will intensify on the 4th.

    Lol. The only thing worse is shooting AK47s into the air...but we digress:-).

    Or simply ban fireworks, perhaps?
