Strange trumpet sounds in the sky heard by people in Québec: The dogs 'are going nuts'

Residents of Dollard des Ormeaux, Quebec, were distracted Sunday night by an eerie noise they said sounded like trumpets somewhere in the sky.

"All the dogs in the neighbourhood are going nuts," D.D.O. resident Adria Morrell posted to Facebook around 10 p.m. She recorded the noise, which sounded like wind through wires or wind chimes.

There was no wind at the time, she said, and soon after she posted, other West Island residents recounted their own spooky aural encounters. The sound was reported to have lasted more than an hour.

This sort of event isn't unheard of. Similar things have happened in Montana, Australia, Germany and British Columbia. Though there's no clear explanation, reports say NASA has theorized that it could be the "background noise of the earth."

"These natural radio emissions from the planet are very much real," Tech Times reported NASA as saying.

A mysterious shrieking sound has left the residents of one Oregon neighborhood seriously perplexed.

Dave Nemeyer, fire marshal of the Forest Grove Fire and Rescue in Forest Grove, Oregon, told ABC News that he first learned of the strange noise after a local resident recorded and shared a video of it on the city's Facebook page.

"It's definitely a horrendous noise," Nemeyer said. "I have no idea what the noise is. [The resident] described to us that it was coming from the middle of the street. To me, it sounds like the sound of train tracks, that metal screeching sound, but there are no train tracks near her home ... so that's obviously ruled out."

Neighbors are trying to determine what is causing a loud alarm-like sound to randomly ring near Gales Creek Road.

Paula Lynch tells KOIN she first heard the noise about two weeks ago. Since then, she's heard it four other times. Her neighbor has heard it three times.

Both Lynch and her neighbor, who asked that her name not be used, describe the sound as loud and like a warning alarm.

"It's hard to identify what angle its coming from because it just kind of encompasses the area," Lynch said. "We're just hoping somebody might be able to identify it so we can report it and have it stop happening."

Boom
Several people living near Howard City reported that they felt and heard a loud boom Thursday morning.

WZZM 13 received several messages on our Facebook page from people saying they felt a rumble similar to an earthquake or sonic boom.

"The whole ground was shaking, the house was shaking," said Sue Eastman of Coral. It was just before 10 a.m. Thursday when she heard the loud boom. As she was trying to figure out what was going on, so were several others.

Christine Rizor of Howard City thought it was an earthquake. "I was sitting in a chair and all the sudden, it was like a big shake. I was like, 'Whoa!'"

Kasey Field, also in Howard City, posted about it on social media. "I had people from all over the lake area. They felt it in Morley and Evart. In Sears, they heard it up there."

At least 10 sonic booms have been reported this afternoon (Jan. 28) from southern New Jersey along the East Coast to Long Island, New York, say scientists with the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).

The first sonic boom was recorded at 1:24 p.m. EST (18:24:05 UTC), about 2 miles (3 kilometers) north-northeast of Hammonton, New Jersey, and 37 miles (60 km) south of Trenton, New Jersey. In the following hour and a half, seismometers picked up at least nine other sonic booms along the Eastern Seaboard all the way to Long Island, according to the USGS.

A spokesperson for the USGS said agency scientists there have no other information except that these were sonic booms and not earthquakes that were detected today.

A sonic boom occurs when an object (or an explosion) travels faster than the speed of sound (761.2 mph, or 1,225 km/h, at sea-level), sending out a shockwave that also travels faster than sound, according to John Bellini, a geophysicist with the USGS National Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colorado.

The cause of today's sonic booms remains mysterious. Bellini noted, however, that if an explosion had caused these booms, someone likely would have seen it.

The source of a mysterious sound heard Sunday afternoon in many parts of the Ozarks is still primarily that — a mystery.

Harrison Police began getting calls about the sound just before 4:45 p.m. Sunday.

The first caller was on West Park Avenue. The woman reported she heard an explosion and felt vibrations, although the explosion sounded a long way off.

An officer on patrol checked in the immediate area, but didn't locate anything that might have been the source. A report said he spoke to people at the Soccer Complex who also heard it and thought it might have come from the Highway 7 South area.

A few minutes later, a caller on Highland reported hearing it and an officer checked that area, speaking to people on Windsor Drive who said it shook their house.

They were recorded on January 18, 2016 in the city of São Tomé das Letras, Minas Gerais and are kind of terrifying. The mysterious sky sounds filled up the sky of mystic São Tomé das Letras, Brazil.

As you may know, São Thomé das Letras is believed to be one of the seven energy points of the Earth and is thus an attraction for mystics, spiritualists, and alternative societies.

Although this new sound attracted considerable attention, its source remains a mystery. Some residents and officails believe it was the sound of jet turbine hovering the city. But the problem with this 'aircraft' hypothesis is that the noise was constantly heard more than five minutes without any interruption.

Moreover, no planes or helicopters were spotted in the sky. So what might have caused the weird noise heard in São Tomé das Letras, Brazil?
