I love that "noise". It sums up that song perfectly, making it instant classic. One of my favorites on Dirty Mind, which is saying a lot.

You know,that's what I always thought it was too! After he sings "Cause once your love has gone away,there aint't nothin',nothin' left to say",there is a slight pause before the gunshot.It sounds like a man committing suicide.

You guys,it's a gunshot.Prince's heart is broken so he kills himself at the end.

I always thought he knocked something over in a little temper fit at the end of the song, like when he goes buck wild on mama's preserves collection in "Purple Rain".

no disbelief That would be way too logical. He shot himself at the end of the song but he shot himself in the pinky toe and limped out of the studio. mr.green

Actually, PhilG is right. If you listen carefully, it does sound like a muted guitar riff set on a reverb effect. I guess it's supposed to sound like a door slamming.

yes it is a gunshot and then the sound of the gun hitting the floor when it falls to the floor. Which they could have dropped the mic to get the sound effect.
