What Your Gun Sound Like?, also written What Yo Gun Sound Like?, refers to an internet challenge and social game on TikTok where the video creator asks their friends to make gunshot sounds to show them what kind of gun they hypothetically tote. The trend started in early 2022 and spread to other platforms like YouTube.
