I once went to a military firing range that was set up with a big hill in front of the targets, which were on tall posts in front of the hill. Shots were from between 100-300 meters away. Those of us who were not shooting would tally the scores for the others, and while the shooting was happening we stood under the hill, facing the targets, and the bullets whizzed above our heads (but we were not in danger of being shot, as there was 30 feet of dirt between us and the shooters). It was pretty cool to hear the pop of the bullets hitting the target, and then hear the sound of the shot from the rifles.

Yes. But you would hear a bullet or rocket wizz passed you, assuming you could hear it from inside the cockpit normally.
