If that creeped you out.....check out the video on this page (it’s posted on Youtube) that was linked to an earlier thread on this topic....VERY creepy, indeed:

There is a weird one. The people don't sound like hoaxers to me at all. Not a trumpet sound but like continuous thunder or machinery that keeps a constant level of sound. The video is 9 minutes not 20. Pretty much the same all the way through until the end when there is a very bright flash in the sky and the noise just tapers off to nothing in a few seconds.
The lady calls 911 and they tell her a number of people had called. They also say the news carried a story about it and the weather service tried to explain it. But they didn't buy that. Once you get the gist of the video you might want to skip to about the 7:20 mark and watch to the end from there.
Thanks - weird stuff.
With any luck, it’s the trumpet of the Lord, announcing some sort of interest in all the crap that’s been going on.
But probably not.

Here is I guess a “famous” one from Kiev - Ukraine. Interesting how there is no response from the pedestrians far below. And the camera operator also thinks it is odd I think and is why she zooms in on them.
After she zooms in on them a window in the opposite building opens, and looks like a couple of people come to the window.
It would be interesting to understand what the little kid is saying to the operator (a woman).
And this one does sound like large machinery grinding against each other, slowly. But obviously way too loud so high up in the air.
Here are two I found taken at baseball games. The announcers remark on the noise. That's getting hard to blow off as a hoax.
I see now that there were two versions of the Kiev video on that page. The first was short and the first half of it was blacked out with translated text on it. Just watched the second one that was eleven minutes long. Never saw that full length one before. The woman pushing the baby stroller did seem to be looking around for the source of the noise. Hard to tell for sure. Wish I knew what they were saying too.
The only natural phenomena I can link this phenomena to are aurora, or just the solar wind, if you prefer. Can't discount the upswing in the present solar cycle and proliferation of quality recording devices. Sound has been associated with aurora before and not always in "concert" with visual phenomena, historically.
Of course, while most of these phenomena seem to be associated with higher latitudes, they are not exclusive to the northern places, but neither are rapid ionospheric flux measurements exclusive to the auroral rings around the poles.
Moulton Howe covered that in her show. Interviewed some guy from NASA that studies the aurora and he said they do not emit sounds. (But I thought that I had heard that sometimes folks hear things?) And Howe asked about the increase in solar activity. But the NASA guy pointed out that yes, it is an increase from the VERY low activity we have had, but is still quite low. We are still about a year off from the max, and the max is forecast to be the lowest in 100 years. (11 year cycles).
It is too bad that so many of the videos on the net seem to be fakes (or re-recordings with new video). Some of the more interesting ones are with the real newscasters reporting on events. Reports from numerous people of earthquakes in Vancouver; B.C. but with no seismic activity, reporters in the streets with firetrucks responding but not finding anything, etc.

So there are “reports” of sounds, but no actual recordings. Interesting topic. But the sounds are more like static and faint - not the loud, low frequency noises people claim to hear and record.
According to the people in your video, they live only 3 miles away from the airport. I suspect the noise they were listening to was that of an airliner(s) waiting for take off until the end when it decided to shut off the engines.
The corresponding flash was probably just a coincidental flash of lightening, probably an off shore or inland storm......that's the best I can come up with...
I would think if you had lived by an airport for any length of time you would be familiar with many sounds and know when you were hearing something out of the ordinary even for that location.
I would say so too.....However, there are many sounds around us that we've gotten used to and just normally block out. For example, I live about a half mile away from a major 8 lane highway that is not an expressway, where the speed limit is 50 mph.
I can wake up in the morning at about 5:30 a.m. and lie in bed in the spring and listen to the birds chirping. Nothing wrong with that except this is spring and those birds haven't been around all winter and that's why they're now noticeable.
Then as I explore with my hearing, I suddenly pick up the distant low moan of the highway traffic which goes on 24/7 and until then, has been transparent since my mind has filtered it out. If I were to have a visiter who lives out in the country stop by, they would probably notice that noize right away then forget about it as they get used to it.....
Another extreme example would be someone who lives near railroad tracks and has gotten used to the daily rumble of the trains. To us dropping by, we would probably say to him how the heck can you put up with that noise......
I heard about this a few days ago, and then happen to watch Lord of the Rings that evening. These EXACT sounds were played in the movie when Merry and Pippin are thinking of going into Fangorn Forest. It’s a hoax!

I agree 100%.
In addition to the sounds there have been reports of odd flashes of light on completely clear nights. I would call these events natural occurrence...But I will say, we witnessed the flashing 2 times this summer. Once on the north shore of lake superior and the other about 25 NW of Minneapolis. Completely clear on both nights. Pulsing Blue Flashes, about 4 or so pulses. My wife and I both saw it and were rather chilled by the experience. We thought maybe Electric Transformers Blowing, Or distant lightning. Nope. No power outages within 150 miles of us. And NO Storms within 100 miles. Rather eerie
Anyone else?
An odd thread you might be interested in.
