ZetaTalk Q&A for February 25, 2012:

My question is regarding the YouTube strange sounds video posted by Gerard yesterday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUdZGm476yA On the Strange Sounds blog I posted a response as follows: Not trying to discredit anyone on the Montana video/audio. I believe what is recorded. But I'd really be interested in Zeta feedback on it because it reminds me of what happened in Close Encounters of the Third Kind - the musical sounds that the spacecraft emitted. The sound produced in Missoula is what is called in music a major seventh chord. In the key of C it would be C-E-G-B; in this case with an extra underlying G as the first note. I have a hard time believing that anything in nature could create this without help - possibly ET help. The notes are played separately up the scale/chord and then down the scale/chord. Could the Zetas please comment on what the source might be?

Missoula lies in a valley between mountain ranges that are riddled with rivers draining the steep mountain sides. If Kiev has multi-tonal trumpets because the reservoir is vibrating, and Belarus has horns because the river there is vibrating, then why should Missoula be exempt? The regions where the vibrating Earth plays music are where water is being vibrated. Elsewhere, it sounds like a roar, like Godzilla rising from the sea and roaming the land. Noise is sound where every frequency is heard. Music is controlled such that harmonics, or coinciding or duplicating frequencies are heard.

That several distinct tones were heard in Missoula, each in turn, only means that the body of water producing them increased its frequency from tone to tone. In Kiev, chords were heard, as more than one arm of the reservoir was set to vibrating. The thrumming or fan beating sound that preceded the Missoula tones was the rock layers being pulled apart, as the N American continent is being pulled into a bow, as we have often explained. As the jerking apart and rebound of the underlying rock layers picked up the pace, the pitchof the music the nearby river produced climbed. Simple as that.

ZetaTalk from the Jan, 21 2012 Q&A:

Strange sounds are heard all over the world! Can the Zetas comment? http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message1756314/pg1 [and from another] My question pertains to the noises, similar to the ones heard in Kiev, happening over the past week all over the world. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZ2ZcmMxehk&feature=channel_video_title Here is a video compilation of some of the places experiencing these noises, some of the videos have been accused of being a hoax, and the essence of my question for the Zetas is; what is going on? I've managed to locate some videos from Australia, posted recently, that seem to verify what others have posted from other users located in different parts of Australia, one of the videos located here. It would appear we are seeing the "Kiev Effect" taking place worldwide now, and only recently on this scale; there is obviously more to this than meets the eye, would the Zetas care to comment?

SOZT

Where initially only a hum, and only in certain notorious parts of the world, rock under stress has become noisy. Known as the Taos hum, the sound of a diesel engine running somewhere underground was an early entry. Then the Seattle drums entered the arena, rhythmic booming which was ascribed to flapping manhole covers. Booms from snapping and heaving rock were reported in the New Madrid region and humming along the St. Lawrence Seaway increased.

But in 2011, it became clear that where we predicted that the Earth would moan during the 5.9 days of rotation stoppage, it was not going to be silent between then and now. The trumpets of Kiev and the horns of Belarus went viral on the Internet, followed quickly by a roar over Tampa Bay that sounded like Godzilla emerging from the sea. Now, in early 2012, this has spread to the drums of Costa Rica and the howl of Alberta and the Borneo snore.

Where is this leading? At least half the Earth, at any given point in time, will be having some sort of tension in its rock. Clapping and grinding fault lines, vibrating bodies of water, trembling rock strata resisting being pulled apart, and snapping rock under compression or being bent. All will be noisy, and the most likely reaction among those who hear it will be to conclude that the End Times have arrived. However known in various cultures around the world, allhave some reference to the coming times. The establishment will be unable to explain away these sounds, and once again the Internet will be sought and will lead inevitably to our explanations.

Is it the mysterious sound of the so-called coming Apocalypse? Some think that the mysterious sound heard in Costa Rica at around 12:30am this morning is exactly that.

Ronny Quintero, a seismologist said the event should be studied at the exact time and location of the anomalies to determine with certainty that there was no earthquake. He added that depending on the location of those who claim they heard the rumble or ”The Hum” it is easy to dismiss the possibility of tectonic movements.

This news has rattled the social web whereas Costa Ricans and the world over are scrambling to figure out what this mysterious sound could have been. Authorities have yet to comment on the subject although OVSICORI, the Costa Rica Volcanologist and Seismologist Organization is saying there is no Earth movements recorded at the time of the strange sound.

Here is a YouTube video showing how it sounded.

It is important to note that this is not the wind nor was it filmed anywhere near the ocean. The sound was heard throughout the entire country from Heredia to Perez Zeledon.

ZetaTalk from the Jan, 14 2012 Q&A:

SOZT
There is a subset of the Caribbean Plate called the Panama Plate, though this subset moves as one with the Caribbean Plate. Nevertheless, there is a fault line running through Costa Rica, and during the incessant pressure of the slow moving S American roll fault lines can pull apart and bang back together again, like clapping. As the recent cold spells in India reveal, the N Pole of Earth is pushed violently away when the Sun is over New Zealand and the magnetic N Pole of Earth (currently over Siberia) comes up over the horizon. This equates to midnight in Costa Rica, which is when the drums were heard. Residents there should get used to these midnight drums, which will be with them for some time.

    Now this seems to be a new interesting development---noises, speaking inside the head or even in the room when you are all alone. For the past week I have had the same.  The words can't quite be deciphered but the voice is inside the head or down the hall or by the bed.  I have been aware of a presence in the house for the past couple of months but now it seems to want to communicate.  A friend of mine has just reported the same thing.  Also physical touching when sleeping.  Hands lifting the body off the bed or hands around the waist. Let's see how prevelant this is.  Anyone else want to chime in?  Perhaps the Zetas?

    Notice the big swallow Jean-Pierre St.-Maurice takes at 1:46 in the below video as he unconvincingly explains these sounds as the result of "electromagnetic noise, that is nice, natural noise" picked up by some kind of environmental antenna.  As an expert in ionospheric research, perhaps he can provide a more articulate response to the growing instability of Earth's magnetosphere.  Email: jp.stmaurice@usask.ca

    Unexplained Rumblings on Vancouver Island

    VICTORIA – In the last 48 hours a number of people in Sooke have reported feeling powerful tremors that some believe are an earthquake.

    “I heard what sounded like a freight train coming, that rumble, and it was very brief. My bed actually shifted,” one Sooke homeowner told CTV News.

    Seismologists say there are no indications of an earthquake in the Sooke area and all calling the recent reports a mystery.

    On Wednesday several employees downtown felt similar shaking but believed it was a result of blasting at a downtown construction site.

    Alison Bird with the Pacific Geo Science Centre says, “It would have to be an extremely large explosion for people in Sooke to feel the Victoria blast”.

    The District of Sooke, the Sooke Fire Department, and the RCMP were all contacted but were unable to shed any light on the rumblings. The Department of National Defense also denied have any part in the tremors.

    South of the border the Whidbey Island Naval Air Station says they didn’t have any aircrafts operating Tuesday because of high winds.

    Earthquakes Canada Report: (Tuesday, Jan 24):

    There have been many reports of shaking at 10:45 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. PST from Sooke to Victoria, on southern Vancouver Island.

  • Howard

    The many recent reports of unexplained rumblings on Vancouver Island that started being reported on Jan 25 was followed by a 4.0 quake on Jan 28 approximately 300 km northwest of Vancouver Island.  It should also be noted that there has been no news media reports connecting between these two related occurrences, despite the obvious interest from the many who experienced it.

    Milford UK Noise is a Booming Mystery
    Friday, February 3, 2012

    The source of a strange booming noise heard in the Milford Haven area last night (Thursday) remains a mystery.

    The noise started at around 10.30pm and lasted for two minutes.

    "It was unlike anything I have ever heard,” said one resident.

    Pembrokeshire County Council confirmed that it received three complaints about the booming noise.

    Environment Agency Wales said that they had investigated the incident and had not discovered anything untoward.

    Locals speculated that the noise may have come from the Castlemartin Range which is currently conducting night firing exercises.

    However a spokesman for the MoD said that the exercises on the range last night were straightforward section attacks with live firing and would not have caused a large booming noise.

    From the recent Q&A: http://www.zetatalk.com/ning/25fe2012.htm

    Recently the mainstream press reported the discovery by NASA's Terra satellite of a huge 170 kilometre wide swirling underwater whirlpool, off the coast of South Africa. Again, scientists are clueless and so will speculate. Nancy, only the Zetas can explain this. Would they, please? [and from another] An unusually strong whirlpool emerged near the coast of South Africa [Feb 21] http://hainanwel.com/en/unusual-world/1546-whirlpool-south-africa.html The width of the whirlpool is 170 kilometers and it is located a few hundred meters below of the water surface. According to scientists, this whirlpool emerged from the fact, that beginning to pumping a water from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean. Scientists can not explain the reason for pumping water from the Indian Ocean to the southern of Atlantic Ocean, which led to the emergence of this whirlpool. [and from another] Satellite captures enormous 90-mile-wide storm that's Underwater [Feb 12] http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2104279/Nasa-satellite-pictures-enormous-90-mile-wide-underwater-storm-.html A NASA satellite has provided jaw-dropping pictures of a huge 'storm' brewing under the sea. The swirling mass of water - which measures a whopping 93 miles wide - has been spotted off the coast of South Africa by the Terra satellite on December 26. This counter-clockwise eddy is thought to have peeled off from the Agulhas Current, which flows along the southeastern coast of Africa and around the tip of South Africa. [and from another] Cape Agulhas http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Agulhas It is the geographic southern tip of Africa and the official dividing point between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. [and from another] Agulhas Current http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agulhas_Current It flows down the east coast of Africa from 27°S to 40°S. It is narrow, swift and strong.

    The Figure 8 of the Earth wobble causes the most extreme movements during the circular swings at the poles of the Earth, and this certainly includes the region of S Africa. First the globe is forced such that S Africa swings to the East, and then as the Figure 8 loop completes, to the West. What this does is produce a pumping action, first increasing water pressure along the east coast, and then reversing this to produce excess water pressure along the west coast. When strong enough, this could literally change the direction of the Agulhas Current, but this point has not yet been reached.

    The Agulhas Current normally flows from the Indian Ocean, which has relatively warmer water, to the South Atlantic. When the water pressure in the Indian Ocean is increased by the wobble, this of course increases the pressure of the flow, which would increase in force and speed. None of this in and of itself would produce a whirlpool, however. It is the reverse wobble effect, when S Africa swings to push under the South Atlantic, that produces the whirlpool. When this happens, there is a clash in the currents, and the Coriolis Effect as with all water and air in motion on Earth clicks in and creates a whirlpool.

    We have warned from the start of ZetaTalk in 1995 that whirlpools should be anticipated during the pole shift. We warned in the year 2000 that giant whirlpools in the oceans would begin to manifest, as we knew the Earth wobble was going to begin. When the Earth wobble arrived and whirlpools were reported off the coast of Japan and N America, we repeated our warnings. Weather wobbles affect more than the atmosphere! They affect the oceans, and will be on the increase. The Earth wobble, and only the Earth wobble can explain the Agulhas whirlpool.

    Loud Explosions, Rumbling Walls Reported Across Chilton County (Alabama)

    CHILTON COUNTY, Alabama -- Calls poured into Chilton County's 911 this afternoon as dispatchers fielded about 100 reports of loud explosions and walls of homes suddenly shaking.

    But, as of this afternoon, it was unclear what was the source of the disturbance.

    Dan Wright, director of the county's 911 service, was at home, about a mile east of downtown Clanton, playing outside with his son when he heard the noise. It was about 4:30 p.m., he said.

    "I felt the ground shaking and I heard this loud rumbling," Wright said. "My garage door started shaking and it sounded like it was falling down."

    The calls at first seemed to be coming from mainly the northern half of the county, but several came from other parts of the county too, Wright said. Some came from as far away as Bibb County.

    A dispatcher with Bibb County 911 said they received about a half dozen calls reporting the same thing. All of the calls came from north of West Blocton but stretched across Bibb County east to west.

    The director of Shelby County's 911 service said no reports were received there.

    The service is also receiving reports on its Twitter page, Wright said.

    Efforts to reach officials with the Geological Survey of Alabama were not immediately successful this afternoon

    The website of the U.S. Geological Survey does not show any earthquakes anywhere in Alabama since Feb. 29.

    "Mysterious explosions. Unexplained shaking. Something's going on in Clintonville, Wisconsin, but nobody seems to know what it is.

    The sounds -- variously described as rattling pipes, clanging metal, thunder or firecrackers -- have continued on and off since early Sunday night in just one part of the small town of 4,600, located about 180 miles northeast of Madison.

    Accompanying the sounds are vibrations that have shaken homes and household objects in the northeast corner of town, city manager Lisa Kuss said.

    The sounds were loud enough Monday morning that a CNN journalist could hear them during a cell phone conversation with Kuss.

    The baffling phenomenon does not appear to have caused any significant damage or injuries, according to Kuss.

    Workers peered into manhole covers and utility crews tested for leaking natural gas and other problems, but no one has yet to find anything amiss, Kuss said.

    Geologists and the military don't seem to have any quick answers, either, she said.

    U.S. Geological Survey records show no seismic activity anywhere in Wisconsin Sunday or Monday.

    "It's like we're imagining things but it ain't, because we're all out and talking to find out what's going on," Clintonville resident Verda Shultz told CNN affiliate WLUK.

    Absent any better explanations for the sounds and sensations that have, well, rattled, the town, residents were left to their own devices to come up with explanations."  Source

    Unexplained Booms Continue for a Second Night in Clintonville

    The unexplained booms, rattling, and shaking was felt for a second night in a row in Clintonville. Loud booms shook the city early Tuesday morning, and were reportedly more widespread. Residents say they're still wondering and worrying.

    The unexplained noises, like underground explosions, and the tremors began early Monday morning around 1:45 and tapered off nearly 12 hours later.

    Although much weaker than what was felt earlier in the day, the trembling began again around 8:30 and 10:00 in the same northeast corner of the city where more than 150 reports of shaking came in earlier. Police say more reports then came in early Tuesday morning, at about 12:20, 1:20, 2:20 and 5:10-- and were no longer limited to the northeast part of town.

    Dispatchers say some were quite loud, and were even heard at the police station, southwest of the center of town.

    Public service crews and police have been monitoring the area, checking on residents who've been congregating in the streets to talk about what they're experiencing.

    People say they're afraid the shaking will get worse.

    "I'm not liking this. I'm going to want to leave. Basically, I don't want to stay here because you just don't know. It's scary, very scary," Cindy Miller said.

    So far the city has ruled out gas lines, water mains, and an earthquake as possible reasons for the shaking. It's been in contact with geologists and the military.

    The city does believe it's something geological.

    "I would say it certainly leads us to believe it is some sort of a geological thing. If the earth's temperature changes, does that mean something different? It certainly could be," City Administrator Lisa Kuss opined.

    The city continues to monitor the area.

    People who live in the area are advised if they feel anything, or notice any changes to the landscape on their property, to call the police non-emergency number to report it.

    Unexplained Tremors Continue on Vancouver Island, BC

    A barn on the 4000-block of Otter Point Road collapsed after a series of unexplained tremors rumbled through the region on Thursday, March 15.

    Barrie Hanslip, owner of the 35-acre property where the barn was located, said the steepled barn tumbled downward after a large “boom” and rumble at 11:30 a.m. The large tremor was preceded by two smaller shakes around 9:00 a.m.

    Hanslip wasn’t home at the time of the collapse, but her niece, Sandra Richardson, said two seconds after the large third rumble, she heard a creak and the barn collapsed.

    “I thought my aunt was underneath it and was screaming for her, but I ran up to the barn and saw her car was gone,” Richardson said.

    Richardson, whose residence is located adjacent to the dilapidated barn, said the earthquake-like rumbles shook the stove pipe in her home.

    Hanslip said although the barn was 50 years old, it would’ve stood erect if left undisturbed.

    “It’s fairly old. It was due to come down, but it certainly wouldn’t have fallen down on its own. It was well-braced,” she said.

    Alison Bird, seismologist with Natural Resources Canada, said there were no earthquakes in the region during that time, adding there were calls from other residents who reported shaking.

    Sooke fire chief Steve Sorensen also said the fire department received an onslaught of calls, but did not have further information.

    Both Richardson and Hanslip said the tremors have been a regular occurrence in the past few weeks.

    Concerned residents have been commenting on the unknown tremors on the Discover Sooke Facebook page since January 2012. According to resident reports, previous rumbles were felt around Saseenos, East Sooke, Whiffin Spit and Otter Point.

    Mysterious Booms Continue for Third Night in Clintonville, WI - Residents Leaving Town

    Police, residents and experts are baffled by the source of mysterious booms and shaking that have been plaguing the town of Clintonville, Wis., for the past three days, and have caused some residents to flee.

    The Clintonville Police Department said they have received over 250 calls about noises from underground shaking homes in the northeast corner of the town near Green Bay, Wis. with approximately 5000 residents.

    The mystery is even stumping some of the brightest minds at the University of Wisconsin, who were consulted about whether or not these booms could be related to seismic activity.

    "I think we can rule out that standard earthquake activity, [that] some swarm of earthquakes is happening in that region. It also really looks like it's not connected to, say, unusual drilling activity or some other kind of real obvious human induced signal, " Harold Tobin, one of those professors in the Geoscience department at the University of Wisconsin told WKOW.

    Tobin headed to Clintonville after he received a call from the Wisconsin Geological Survey office asking for help.

    Tobin and a colleague looked at activity on several of the seismometers that sit in the region near Clintonville. He says there is an indication that it is an especially noisy site, but not noisy enough to cause the sounds people there are describing.

    Tobin says it does appear the sounds are either coming from the surface of the ground or just underneath the surface. He says that he is just as confused and intrigued as anyone as to what exactly is causing the sounds, and adds that there are other instruments that could be put out in the region where the sounds are to record noise in the air, and also ground vibrations at a higher frequency.

    This would help to pinpoint exactly where the sounds and coming from and what their characteristics are.

    Residents of the area say that they find the noises and shakes puzzling and troubling.

    "They're pretty loud when they vibrate the windows and you can feel the vibration on the floor and on the ground," Verda Schultz told ABC News affiliate WBAY.

    The city has so far managed to rule out problems with the water and sewer system, elevated gas levels, area blasting or mining, industrial businesses, and even military operations, WBAY reported.

    "I think that right now the greatest possibility is that it is some sort of natural phenomenon. I think that it's a possibility that there is some earth shifting going on underneath the ground that creates those popping sort of exploding popping or vibrating noises that people feel," City Administrator Lisa Kuss said.

    The booms and shakes have gotten so bad that they have begun to drive residents from the town.

    "Our dog is scared, our neighbors are leaving and stuff, so we decided we are going somewhere else for a while," Dennis Padia said. "It's that loud, and it bothers you. You can't go to sleep."

    Mystery Boom Reported in Poconos, Pennsylvania (March 30) -

    ‘That noise was not thunder,’ Poconos residents say.

    Strong thunderstorms hit the Poconos Friday night, moving through shortly after 10 p.m. and continuing for at least a half hour, but the weather event that had folks talking was a loud sonic-like boom that shook houses at about 10:15 p.m. Gilda Spiotta of Long Pond said, “The shaking last night lasted unusually long. Didn’t sound like thunder, didn’t feel like thunder, was wondering if something happened on 380/80; tanker accident.”

    Another Long Pond resident, Lorene R. Allman-Mars: “My son was at the back door letting the dogs out and he reported that he saw a large flash of light fill the sky toward/above the FedEx distribution site on 940, then he heard a loud boom. It didn’t look like lightning; it looked like a bomb blew up in the air. I was on the second floor of the house; I didn’t see anything but I heard the boom and felt it shake the house. I actually felt it under my feet. The floors shook; I have never felt lightning shake the house like that before and we’ve been up here 20 years!”

    Some readers suggested an earthquake or an explosion, but said that definitely was no routine thunder. Meteorologist and Pocono weather expert Ben Gelber offered this explanation:

    “One possibility is that thunderstorms in our chilly environment near the surface tonight, associated with an inversion of warm air aloft, sound much louder.” He added, “The sound waves are refracted back to the surface and reverberate in ways that we normally do not experience as they bounce between the surface and the inversion near the base of the clouds.”

    Other residents commented from across the Poconos:

    “My kids and I heard the sound in Saw Creek,” said Winnie Michaluk. “Our windows rattled and our dogs were barking like crazy.” Russo Albuja of Tobyhanna said, “I was driving along 196 on my way home from work when I felt the BOOM. It was so extreme, my car shook and on my left hand side on an empty field – all I saw was this HUGE flash of light coming from where the airport location would be at. Afterwards, I heard nothing. Kinda scared me that I rushed home and locked my doors.”

    Jennifer Knarr of Milford chimed in: “My husband and I were in bed watching tv when we heard this rumbling noise we thought it was thunder but it lasted a while he even got up to look outside no storms at that time here. We live in Milford on top of a mountain, sounded like a bunch of semi trucks going down our quiet street!” Laura Bush: “Yes, I felt it here in Sciota. I immediately texted my kids in their rooms, ‘What the heck was that.’ One said, ‘I don’t know, earthquake?” Judy Ann Porter: “I live in Pocono Farms Country Club and my family and I were sitting watching TV and felt a loud bang and the house shook. We thought it was a earthquake. We got our supplies together but heard nothing else after that. Someone mentioned thunder, but thunder doesn’t shake houses. Scary.”

    Phillip Mangat: “Yeah around 10:35 I thought another meth lab went boom!” Jill Nobles: “It sure felt like an explosion or an earthquake to me. I am up near Wooddale, by Analomink on the top of the mountain. At 10:12-ish, my whole house shook. It knocked things off of the counters, rattled things hanging on my walls, and shook my whole house violently. We didn’t sustain any damage, but the noise and the shaking were crazy. The sound was like an explosion, or a freight train in my bedroom. Not thunder.” And another from Long Pond “I live in Emerald Lakes and at about 10:15p.m. I heard a loud noise and the house shook for about 5 seconds and my lights dimmed a little bit.”

    Mystery Boom Reported in Southeast Georgia (March 15) -

    Reports of loud sound, earth shaking reports come from 5 counties.

    It wasn't an earthquake that rattled windows and store shelves early, but residents across Southeast Georgia heard and felt something big Thursday morning.

    "My wife and I, we heard this loud noise -- this booming noise," said Officer Todd Rhodes of the Brunswick Police Department. "It was a noise that literally shook our home."

    When Rhodes got to work, he learned his 911 center was swamped with calls of people with similar reports.

    "Everyone was very concerned," Rhodes said. "There was some panic there because you know when you hear that noise as far-reaching as it was, and not only hearing it but feeling it, you want to know, 'What is this?'"

    Reports came in to Channel 4's newsroom from Nahunta to Folkston about a loud noise and buildings shaking between 8:15 and 8:30 a.m.

    "Up at City Hall, they said they felt something shake," said Folkston resident Ericka Smith.

    The Georgia State Patrol says they received calls from Brantley, Camden, Charlton, Glynn and McIntosh counties asking about the boom and rumble.

    The manager at Satilla Grocery in Waynesville reviewed surveillance video that showed the building shaking.

    "Next thing I know we just hear this big old rattle," Deanna Brower said. "The doors here rattled really hard, and we thought maybe somebody had actually hit the doors or something."

    The U.S. Geological Survey said there was no indication of a earthquake in the area, but had hear reports of either a sonic boom or other event that cause the ground to rumble.

    Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay said they were not conducting any operations that would have caused a sonic boom or explosion.

    Channel 4 checked with the Navy and Marines, which said there were two F/A-18 Super Hornets flying over Georgia at the time, but they were nowhere close to the speed of sound.

    The Federal Aviation Administration said it had no record of any aircraft going supersonic in the area on Thursday.

    Late in the day, the Georgia Department of Emergency Management said Air Force jets were doing training exercises off the coast of Brunswick and one got too close to land.

    The fact that no one can explain what caused the boom and shake for most of the day was disconcerting to local residents.

    "We haven't heard anything, and that's sad," Rhodes said mid-afternon. "So many people here have felt that and we don’t have a clue what it was."

    Another likely St. Lawrence Seaway adjustment -

    Mystery Boom in Barrie, Ontario (March 24)

    Residents left wondering after strange noise; similar noise reported in Wisconsin.

    Sounds described as ‘sonic booms’ reported in the Green Bay area of Wisconsin have been declared a mini earthquake, but similar sounds heard in Barrie’s northwest end have yet to be identified.

    Around 10 p.m., Tuesday, families on Wallace Drive took to the street after a loud sound ripped through the neighbourhood causing concern among residents.

    Residents in the Barrie neighbourhood described the sound as a dump truck hitting a house, a propane tank exploding and a sonic boom displacement of air.

    Residents in Clintonville, Wis., reported hearing similar sounds Sunday evening and Monday morning.

    After investigating, the U.S. Geological Survey announced on Thursday the sounds resulted from a 1.5-magnitude earthquake, which can be felt within a eight-kilometre radius.

    Barrie and Clintonville share the same latitude.

    No physical evidence was found to determine what caused the sound in the Wallace Drive area in Barrie.

    Yvonne Buchanan lives in the area on McVeigh Drive and said the sound had her more than confused.

    “I thought it was a propane tank (blowing up) or some crazy thing,” she said. “I never thought anything of it because we didn’t hear any sirens or anything.”

    Barrie police said there were no calls for service in the area at the time or reports matching a loud sound. A sonic boom is a loud sound similar to one caused by an explosion, but is the result of supersonic travel, usually from an aircraft breaking the speed of sound.

    The Canadian 1 Air Division’s CF-18 is the only Canadian aircraft capable of supersonic travel.

    Public affairs officer Capt. Holly Brown, with the air division in Manitoba, said two CF-18 planes flew from 4 Wing Bagotville in Quebec to 8 Wing Trenton in Ontario on Wednesday, but didn’t reach speeds fast enough to break the sound barrier.

    “We’ve had queries in the past where people have reported a sonic boom and there was no CF-18 activity at all,” she said. “Typically, our CF-18s don’t break the sound barrier while they’re transiting.”

    Corinna Horton was getting ready for work at 5:30 a.m. on Wednesday when the lights flickered just before a sonic boom rattled her Ottawa-area home.

    All of a sudden the lights flickered and I thought it was a pulse and then all of a sudden, boom,” she told the Examiner. “It was still dark out and all the birds started going crazy outside and a couple of dogs started to bark.”

    When the sonic sound pierced the air, Horton said she could feel it all around her.

    “The fact that the lights flickered beforehand I found very interesting,” she said. “At first, I thought it was a blast like a demolition bomb, but there’s no way they would have given permission for that that early.”

    Brown didn’t rule out aircraft completely, but said because Nav Canada monitors the country’s skies, the military doesn’t always know who’s flying above us.

    “If it was U.S. Air Force aircraft we don’t necessarily know about it because if they filed a flight plan with Nav Canada it doesn’t even come to our attention,” she said. “There are a lot of things that make loud noises out there. If there are low clouds, it can make things sound a lot louder.”

    Even though Clintonville has answers, Buchanan said she knows what she heard was real.

    “It was loud,” she said. “I definitely heard something.”

    “It was like a loud sonic boom. When I went outside, numerous neighbours came out to see what happened,” Rob Higgins said. “No one could see anything. Some people said it sounded like a major car crash.”

    “Originally, I thought some huge thing was thrown at our house. Not a car, but maybe a big barrel or something large,” Higgins added.

    “I went outside and realized everyone heard something and it couldn’t have just been our house.”

    Increasing stress on the Atlantic Rift -

    Mystery Booms in Bigouden, France (translated)

    March 23, 2012 at 8:31

    A "thud" and even "three roar" were heard in heaven Bigouden Wednesday night. A phenomenon that remains unexplained and apparently has repeated last night from north to south of Finistere. And also in Côtes d'Armor and Morbihan. But where do these sounds? [Bring your testimony]

    "A thud as if a child was stamping his feet on the wall of the neighbor." Testimonials are legions Bigouden. But not only. Combrit Chateauneuf-du-Faou through Briec, Quimper, Plogastel-Saint-Germain, Pont l'Abbé, Tréméoc, Cockles, Plobannalec-Lesconil or Clohars-Fouesnant, many people on Wednesday to 21h, were intrigued by the phenomenon. Alluded to here "the house (who) just shake three times." We're talking about "three strong rumblings" that "have rattled houses" and even "small awakened." Some, meanwhile, heard "muffled explosions" while others are convinced that this is "an earthquake".

    Neither earthquake, nor maneuver

    Contacted yesterday, the central office Seismological French (BCSF) states have nothing abnormal registered in this area. And for its size, Chateauneuf-du-Faou Clohars-Fouesnant, the blasts and aftershocks felt "were enregistréess'il was an earthquake, at least three forces". In 2005, Bigoudens remember, an earthquake on the fault south Armorican and a magnitude 3 on the Richter scale had caused the same feelings. What then of these explosions heard and felt? An air-borne? Regional Centre of Western navigation, it is shown not to record this kind of phenomenon.

    So, it is with the military that the eyes are. Moreover, some also said they heard a helicopter. Preceded, it is true, "three thumps" recalling "the thunder". One thinks of the aircraft. When questioned, the communications department of the Brest Maritime Prefecture said that there was no Navy operation and even less involving helicopters. Side of the Joint Staff of the area of defense and security northwest (OGZDS), it is formal. Not operating, "no supersonic flight." Bizarre. Especially in March2003, three earthquakes had already hit the Bigouden ... The phenomenon was also remained unexplained.

    "The Hum" in Ireland ongoing for the past year -
    Tuesday, April 03, 2012

    Locals despair as ‘The Hum’ makes life a living hell.

    IT’S there. All day, every day; all night, every night.

    But nobody has even the remotest idea of what it is or what could possibly be causing it.

    It has become known simply as The Hum, which is the only description despairing locals can find to adequately describe a constant, pulsating, low-frequency noise, the source of which cannot be traced, despite best efforts.

    When frustrated residents in the tranquil Kerry parish of Beaufort went public to tell how their lives have been made a living hell by the mystery noise — which is ringing in their ears all day and disrupting their sleep by night — little did they know the impact it would have.

    Fascinated audiologists with sophisticated detection equipment made a beeline for the remote townland of Glencuttane, 15km from tourist hotspot Killarney, at the foot of Carrauntoohil mountain.

    Excitable, self-described ghosthunters weren’t far behind and much to the annoyance of residents, some media rather impishly devised conspiracy theories that ranged from mildly amusing to ridiculous.

    But the saga finally got the official platform locals insist it deserved in recent days when South Kerry TD Michael Healy-Rae raised the matter in the Dáil, via a series of parliamentary questions directed at Phil Hogan, the environment minister.

    "I asked the minister to send out people to try and come to the bottom of it," said Mr Healy-Rae, who personally heard the noise when he met with disgruntled locals.

    But Mr Hogan could offer no solution and little consolation other than to advise the residents to voice their concerns to Kerry County Council’s environment office and an investigation might be sanctioned.

    The official response has been lambasted by Mr Healy-Rae as "away with the fairies gobbledygook".

    Council engineers have already ruled out a local authority water pumping station as a possible factor and weary locals, now at the end of their collective tether, had already determined that there are no mobile phone masts, windmills or generators in the area that could be the source of the noise.

    Furthermore, the ESB has assured them that the problem is not due to any high-tension overhead wires and while sound technicians have been able to confirm that the noise has a vibrating, low frequency, they are no closer to identifying any potential explanation.

    Some householders in Beaufort have been hearing the bizarre humming sound since April of last year and, at this stage, they say it is making their lives a complete misery.

    "We are nearly gone out of our minds because we can’t get a decent night of sleep and it’s there every day," said one, who described the noise as being similar to a diesel engine ticking over in a nearby field. "There are times when you absolutely can’t ignore it because it’s so present, mostly at night because it’s so quiet."

    He said the irritating noise is even more noticeable inside dwellings and despite extensive insulation, houses appear to vibrate, particularly in the stillness after dark.

    Rather unusually, not everybody can identify with the low buzzing noise and locals acknowledge that if they gathered 10 people in one room, they estimate that just two would be able to hear it. That said, at least a dozen families over a 5km radius have come forward to divulge that they have been disturbed by the baffling aural interference.

    One resident even went to the extreme of seeking help from his family doctor and was relieved to learn that he didn’t have a problem with his hearing.

    Others, who can’t sleep at night, have taken to wearing earplugs in an attempt to block out the mystery noise.

    In the absence of any logical explanation, there is growing belief by some observers that the noise might possibly be linked to a weird worldwide phenomenon that has become known, simply, as The Hum.

    Similar mystery noises, all involving persistent and invasive low-frequency humming sounds, have been reported in many parts of the world and complaints have been voiced by residents in several locations, including England, Russia, New Mexico, New Zealand and Indiana.

    Inconclusive research into possible causes for The Hum has been conducted in universities in Florida, Oklahoma and Auckland, but, despite the best efforts of experienced boffins, no real progress has been made.

    Beaufort residents are quick to stress, however, that they are not suggesting for one minute that the noise that is impacting so negatively on their daily lives is linked in any way to the humming sounds detected elsewhere.

    "We don’t know what it is and it’s as simple as that.

    "We’re hoping that we might get some help from somewhere to try and investigate this and see what it might be," said one concerned local.

    Mystery Booms in Falls Church, Virginia -

    Strange sounds were caught on tape in Falls Church, Virginia in the dead of night. Suddenly a series of loud booms can be heard. They sound like the clanging of construction, but the "ear witness" claims that's impossible.

    She also rules out the highway nearby as the source. If it was the highway, that must have been one terrible crash. Which happens over and over again every few seconds.

    These mystery booms sound much more like what residents of Clintonville, WI, experienced last month for over a week, causing them to lose a lot of sleep. They also happened at night. Can these weird sounds be related?

    Yet another boom in the UK, heard over a large area,  blamed on sonic booms caused by fighter jets, while those on the ground think it could have been an explosion or an underground tremor.

    Mystery Boom in San Diego, CA (April 13) -

    NBCSanDiego received a number of reports from residents of a shaking or a loud noise just before 9 a.m.

    The U.S. Geological Survey has not reported a nearby earthquake.

    Officials at MCAS Miramar said the noise or vibration was not a sonic boom from their aircraft.

    Reports came in from different sections of the county including La Mesa, University City, Point Loma, Paradise Hills and La Jolla.

    Marielle Bravo-Saltzman of Carmel Valley posted to NBCSanDiego's Facebook page, "I felt a shake at 8:38, but no boom."

    Paul Prince of Pacific Beach sent a note to @nbcsandiego via Twitter "All my windows shook in the PB area..."

    San Diego State University Professor Emeritus Pat Abbott felt and heard it and stepped outside his home.

    “The only time you hear an earthquake is when you’re directly over the epicenter,” Abbott said.

    In his opinion, the sound was atmospheric.

    Thunder and lightning were in the forecast Friday, but NBC 7 Meterologist Jodi Kodesh looked into it and said there weren't any storm cells near the area producing thunder and lightning at that time.

    When lightning strikes, the discharge of energy can be felt 5 to 10 miles away as a rumble or a boom, Kodesh said.

    The closest rumble of thunder at the time would have been north of Los Angeles.

    Sometimes, a military exercise known as chaff can cause a similar sound.

    Strips of metal foil dropped by an aircraft are used to temporarily hide an aircraft from radar detection.

    The National Weather Service couldn't confirm if the sound was a result of chaff and an MCAS Miramar official told us he was not aware of possible chaff in the area.

    Ottawa Investigates Mysterious Windsor Hum (April 20)

    Thousands of complaints have been received from Canadians disturbed by rumblings in the Windsor area. The so-called Windsor hum has affected people mainly in the city's west end, but also some in Essex County.

    "The Windsor hum is having a negative effect on the day-to-day lives of Windsor residents,”

    A federal study suggests the Hum may originate from the U.S. side of the Detroit River, in the general area of Zug Island.

    According to the media release, while in the area, Dechert will hold meetings with Windsor Mayor Eddie Francis and with Great Lakes stakeholders, including representatives of the Great Lakes Commission, the Council of Great Lakes Industries, the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments and the Regional Office of the International Joint Commission.

    Dechert will also meet with U.S. and Michigan political officials.

    Land tremors, rumbling and loud bangs were reported to have been felt and heard by many people down the Aberdeenshire coast on Tuesday evening. Grampian Police confirmed they received a number of calls between 8.45pm and 11.15pm on Tuesday from concered members of the public. The rumbling is thought to have been heard and felt in a number of coastal areas including Stonehaven, Newtonhill, Muchalls, Portlethen, Inverbervie, Gourdon and St Cyrus and some reports were received from as far north as Cove and Torry.

    Residents who felt the tremors said they felt their house shaking and windows rattling. The sounds were described as being like thunder coming from the ground, someone banging on a window, a motorbike engine starting up and dying quickly or the sudden sound of a train with no approaching or leaving noise. Many were left baffled at what they had heard and thought it was just something that had happened within their own homes or in the surrounding area, yet when other people raised their concern about the noise and movement an increasing number of people began saying they heard similar noises and felt tremors throughout the evening.

    Mystery Boom in Newport Beach, California (May 29) -

    http://www.coronadelmartoday.com/28544/home/mystery-noise-prompts-c...

    Some Corona del Mar residents heard a strange “loud boom/bang” about 12:20 a.m. Tuesday, and police confirmed they received two calls about the noise.

    “We had two reports of a loud ’shot’ at approximately 12:20 a.m.,” said Kathy Lowe, a Newport Beach Police Department spokeswoman. One of the callers was on Rivera Terrace in the Corona Highlands neighborhood, and the other was near Fourth and Marguerite avenues. Corona del Mar Today readers in the village also reported hearing the noise.

    “Officers responded to the area,” Lowe said. “However they were unable to locate the cause of the noise. We did not receive any additional related calls.”

    One Corona del Mar Today reader said the noise was a “very loud boom/bang” that was louder than a gun.

    “It definitely woke up us up,” the reader said in an email. “It was louder than a gun I believe…it scared me wide awake!”
