In Singapore, cannot use the real fire cracker, cuz it's illegal.
Nonetheless, nobody say cannot play the sound of fire cracker.
Just search for 鞭炮 on Google Play store or Apple Play store. There are apps that contain the fire cracker sound.
Playing the sound is as good as using the actual fire cracker.
More importantly, playing the sound is not illegal.
So just play the sound on loud speaker or whatever. To scare away the 年 monster, and welcome an auspicious lunar new year!
