Aircraft
During pushback; I received a call from the Flight Attendant concerning a loud noise coming from the aircraft forward right side. At the same time; I began smelling fumes on the flight deck; so I told the Flight Attendant 'I will get back with you'.I commanded oxygen masks on and established communication. I asked the First Officer to request a return to the gate; as I performed the Flight Crew Operations Manual isolation guide checklist.Upon return to the gate; we deplaned the aircraft promptly; and the appropriate logbook entries were made.
Air carrier Captain reported a fume event on the flight deck during gate pusback. Flight crew executed a gate return where passengers and flight crew deplaned promptly.
