No, I wouldn't call the police for every sound. However, I can tell the difference between an animal scrabbling around and a person attempting to do damage or break into my house.

I think not, I am going to fire a warning shot near the ground to get his attention if that doesn't work then I will dispatch him. I am going to keep that weapon ready in case the noise doesn't scare him. I could care less about a "ricochet" if in the woods.

If a grizzly is charging you, you're going to fire a warning shot? Well, OK, if you say so. We'll notify your next of kin.
If a grizzly is charging me and I have a gun, I'm shooting. This is the very definition of a life threatening situation.
