My road is calachie (SP?) rock. I live almost a mile from my front gate.
Every morning, even weekends, about 6-6:30 it sounds like someone in a large truck is coming down my road. Sometimes it’s loud like it’s close and sometimes it’s like a truck about a 1/2 mile away.
For the life of me I can’t figure out where that sound is coming from.
My closest neighbor is about 1 1/2 mile away and the main county road, which is a rock road is about 2 to 2 1/2 miles away and there is no big trucks.
I also used to be able to hear the drag races over in Baytown, TX when I was about 20 miles away and about 40 miles away but not when I was about 30 miles away.
The sound just hit certain spots and not others.
Same thing with those windmills I guess.
Yeah, we have a local dirt track for racing and I swear I can hear them racing even though it is like 10 miles away or so. At night, I can hear trains travelling adjacent to the Ohio River even though it is like 3 miles away or more. Sound can carry given the right conditions.
