contents In nonequilibrium suspensions, static number fluctuations $N$ in virtual observation boxes reveal remarkable structural properties, but the dynamic potential of $N(t)$ signals remains unexplored. Here, we develop a theory to learn the dynamical parameters of self-propelled particle models from $N(t)$ statistics. Unlike traditional trajectory analysis, $N(t)$ statistics distinguish between models, by sensing subtle differences in reorientation dynamics that govern re-entrance events in boxes. This paves the way for quantifying advanced dynamic features in dense nonequilibrium suspensions.
