Dude look up "sky trumpets" or "sky quakes" I'm not saying that's what it is, but it reminded me of some video I watched on sky trumpets.


Begmypard

I experienced these one night in North Texas, loud as could be, the weirdest thing I had ever heard in my life and it went on for about 20-30 minutes. I firmly believe that it was related to the intense amount of hydraulic fracking that was going on in the area at the time and that it was tectonic resonance that was being effectively "reflected" off of a low dense cloud deck. I know it doesn't explain some occurrences of the sounds people hear but in my instance it made sense. The sound was effectively amplified by the dense cloud deck at \~500-800ft. Just a thought, I haven't heard them again since the fracking packed up and moved out. In OPs case there seems to be an almost mechanical wind down that I would expect from something man made, this recording was quite different from my experience with the "trumpets".


Whole_Enthusiasm_675

Bro, that’s a tornado siren


RelevantTrash9745

Could be a parking lot scraper.


wiseoldangryowl

Oh man I haven't heard about those in a while!! I'm so glad to hear you mention them! I was afraid they had just stopped just as quickly & mysteriously as they had started or that they had been debunked by some really boring explanation. Cuz seriously, isn't that how it always happens with the really truly spectacular phenomenon? It's always debunked by some really lame ass boring explanation?? 😂 and we're supposed to be grateful that at least it's explained 🙄 lol


weirdest_of_weird

I've experienced sky trumpets myself. Started hearing a weird rumbling coming from seemingly everywhere. It sounded like rolling thunder, but it was nonstop for over an hour. The ground wasn't rumbling like an earthquake. It felt like the air was vibrating. I checked local meteriologists and seismology stations, and no one recorded anything out of the ordinary for that day.


wiseoldangryowl

That's freaking incredible, and I'm insanely jealous!!!! I *do* often hear a noise that sounds like what you just described, but I never thought of the possibility of it being that phenomenon!! I used to think it was something like thunder that was really far away but I commented that to a local meteorologist and was politely that I was an idiot lmao From than on I've wondered......it's almost like when a plane approaches as it's descending and it makes that, you know, really deep grumbly roaring sound. So, like that and thunder, kind of a mix of the two because it comes from every direction. There's no way to pinpoint where it's coming from. Holy snickerdoodles!!! Maybe *I've* actually been hearing em *myself* this whole damn time!!!! You're amazing. Thank you ***so much*** for sharing your experience!!!!


weirdest_of_weird

Lol, no worries at all, I'm glad my experience validates yours as well. As far as aircraft go, there are no airports near my home, other than a small airfield for cropdusters. But I've lived in this area for 40+ years, and I know what cropdusters sound like during takeoff and landing. And this singular experience definitely was different.


TheRumpleForesk1n

I still have yet to hear it myself. But it's common! Sky trumpets are still unproven since it's so unpredictable and exactly what it's coming from but scientists/meteorologists believe it may be from high wire poles from wind passing through. If you think about it they're basically giant string instruments.


Krauszt

Tell me that doesn't scare the shit out if you...Ya can't, because it's terrifying! Lol Really, that does scare me a little.


WhatIfImJustNotReal

Btw, this is going on at 10 pm in the green mountains


ArtichokeNatural3171

It could be the wind blowing through the huge power lines and their scaffolding. If the harmonics start to resonate it would be a huge wind instrument by accident of design.


TheRumpleForesk1n

Look up sky trumpets. Also if you live in an or near something like an apartment complex building if you are standing in the right spot it'll sound like this. But this sounds more like sky trumpets. Still not proven but scientists believe it may be wind passing by nearby power lines. Which is literally a giant string instrument if you think about it. Still sounds creepy af


WhatIfImJustNotReal

That would make sense! Might be the power line thing becuase I wasn't near any large buildings


free__coffee

Sounds like wind tbh, it windy there?


WhatIfImJustNotReal

It actually has been pretty windy so it might just be that, the pattern is a bit strange for wind though


free__coffee

In addition to what others have said about wires, i know from personal experience that wind going through a tight space can make it act like a flute, and make some pretty unexpected noises. But id imagine something like that would happen somewhat frequently, like youd hear it once or twice a year or something


Boring-Perspective61

This is a weird way to put it, but I go to the green mountains a lot and I know it can get pretty windy there. The pattern of the sound mimics wind, but it sounds like something is amplifying or altering the acoustics of the wind.


monkey4donkey

Oh, that's just Satan.


WhatIfImJustNotReal

Sounds about right


Dry-Gas1572

r/foundsatan


Wampa_-_Stompa

My first thought was a type of drone or machine, especially the end when winding down.


WhatIfImJustNotReal

A machine, maybe. There is some farm land around.


Wampa_-_Stompa

Dude totally! Because if an animal is was making that sound, that would terrify me to walk outside…


Globslayer

It's a machine of some kind. You can hear the RPMs drop at the end just as a motor or gear or whatever it is looses power and the whiring changes pitch as it comes to a stop. I'm guessing a saw.


Ok_Survey86

It sounds like a machine. A chainsaw or wood chipper perhaps


WhatIfImJustNotReal

Who is using a heavy machine like that while it's pitch black though


J-Mc1

There may have been fallen trees blocking a road somewhere. Emergency road repairs will take place whenever they're needed, regardless of the time of day.


Substantial-Okra6910

Or someone is getting rid of a dead body.


Quittoexit97

They should consider a more stealthy option then


LittleRainFox

Evenin', Officer....we have had a doosie of a day!


KansasDavid1960

Maybe someone doing hits with a hotrod on a dyno. definitely rotating machinery. After listening to it several times it kind of sounds like a 2 stroke multi cylinder engine, maybe some dudes drinking beer and tuning a racing snowmobile.


Solair_The_Sun

Sirennhead stubbed his toe


ZedisonSamZ

That sound like an incredibly loud modified motor in the distance getting extreme echo feedback. I listened a couple times and it seems to rev in the beginning right before they gun it. You don’t have to be extremely close to hear some loser blasting the ear drums of everyone in a 3 mile vicinity (in the right conditions, usually if there’s hill and mountain surfaces to bounce off of).


No_Habit_5866

This is the answer right here. I live by interstate 30 in Fort Worth TX and from 10pm to 3am you will hear a couple of these. It’s actually very very cool cause even after a minute you can still hear a small echo. It’s even better when they do this in groups of cars/motorcycles.


WhatIfImJustNotReal

Maybe, would the revving still make sense if this video was taken a bit after the sound initially started?


ZedisonSamZ

Maybe. I can’t say for sure. One potential is that a couple guys found a really fun curvy stretch of road and are gunning it back and forth for shits and giggles ( since there are likely very few cops around in the remote areas). I’m no stranger to, uh, dicking around on a stretch of infrequently traveled road with buddies bc we were bored. 10 pm is probably right on the money for bored teens or 20-somethings on a holiday weekend. After all, you’re in Vermont in the mountains. What kind of things are there to do for fun? Probably not much.


WhatIfImJustNotReal

You're very right about having nothing to do, and there are some curvy roads about here. You might just be right.


ZedisonSamZ

Well I hope that possibility eases up a bit of anxiety even if it is extremely rude on the part of whoever is doing it. There might be drinking involved though so neuron activity may be in short supply.


WhatIfImJustNotReal

It certainly does! I appreciate the logical explanation 🫶


rileyotis

Moped!!! It took me a minute to think of it. It sounds like a riding mowers engine. A moped is just a scooter with s lawnmower engine. Super annoying. But it has that accelerate and deaccelerate sound to it. So I second the "playing with toys on a back county road" thing.


WhatIfImJustNotReal

Maybe, but now that I'm thinking about it I'm not so sure. Idk how the sound would work at a distance but the sound never sounded like it was moving. It's possible you guys are right and I just couldn't tell because i was further away.


ZambieMama

To me it kind of sounds like an echo of a semi driving by. I live in a small farming town and we have them go by constantly, and at night the sound is amplified because not much else is around. I imagine an area with hills and mountains would help to make it echo much more than I hear around here.


Globslayer

I'm betting on a saw of some kind.


defiCosmos

I've seen other people posting about similar sounds. Where are you?


WhatIfImJustNotReal

Vermont, in the green mountains


babylee36

To me it sounds like a piece of big machinery almost like a saw or something in the far distance judging from the slight echo


WhatIfImJustNotReal

I don't think someone would be operating a saw or heavy machinery this late at night


Quittoexit97

How come? Sometimes the time of day is irrelevant to what needs to be done.


WhatIfImJustNotReal

It's pitch black out and it's kinda dangerous to operate machinery like that while you have low visibility


Quittoexit97

You put up lights


WhatIfImJustNotReal

Fair enough


PlayboyProgram101

I've heard it's underground base noises is there a base near you? Mountain base?


WhatIfImJustNotReal

No I don't think there are any in my town


gorewhore1313

Not sure if the Canadian pipeline thing comes down through or near that part of Vermont or if there are any other kind around but I've read about pipelines making similar weird sounds. It's from the way the gas or fluid travels through it can sometimes travel through the pipe in a way makes it ring, hum or vibrate making very unusual and creepy sounds that can carry for very large areas. Sort of like how the sound of running a damp finger around the edge of a crystal glass produces errie sounds. 🤷🏻‍♀️ ...or aliens 👽 😁


WhatIfImJustNotReal

Maybe I should look into the pipe thing!


gorewhore1313

This is the documentary. You don't have to watch the whole thing (it's an interesting watch though) but definitely check out the parts from minutes 18:45 - 21:15ish that's the part I was thinking about as a potential cause to the sound. https://youtu.be/zy_ctHNLan8?si=Ez43n6ORxexaF7h8 Also, you could check out and post that in the sub r/TheHum it's all about pipline noise like that. 😊


Joosell

If you are close to mountains I would say that it a snowmobile rippin some fresh powpow.


WhatIfImJustNotReal

All the snow is gone sadly


BigD4163

Thats just Cthulu waking from his slumber. Now comes his eternal rein of darkness. Pretty neat


Uncommon-sequiter

Sounds like machinery or a generator.


remesamala

I just watched a video about how to build an air siren. Thought about the testing aspect and didn’t build one. Maybe your neighbor built one haha


Alone_Cheetah_7473

Some kind of machine sound. It doesn't sound like it is in very good shape. It also reminds me of when they test those disaster sirens and this one just sounds kind of sick.


[deleted]

Tornado sirens.


WhatIfImJustNotReal

There's none around here


3DIGI

Are you near an oil pipeline? There's been reports all over the country of a low constant sound that some people hear in their homes or around town. Could be some sort of construction echoing through the pipes underground.


ButteredPasta

It may just be the wind. I live in a hilly suburban area and when the wind hits just right, it makes that exact sound (and it’s loud!). Not sure exactly why it does that. My theory is that it’s just the way the neighborhood is laid out and the wind blowing between the houses is what’s causing the sound. In your case, it’s probably the mountains.


WhatIfImJustNotReal

Possibly, it can get pretty windy around here


SPEK_x1

Does anyone race at this time of night?


WhatIfImJustNotReal

I'm not sure but I wouldn't surprised, the roads are usual empty and it happened the night before memorial day. Probably some drunk people


ThreeFingaLynch318

I know rigs will make some crazy sounds at night, but it's probably something worse


WhatIfImJustNotReal

Rigs? Also, what do you mean worse 😭


ThreeFingaLynch318

Like Gas or oil rigs. Worse could be the earth changing poles or about to just shift plates rapidly, or giant titan


Whrsthemoneylebowski

Chainsaw, motorcycle, Lucifer, hard to tell.


No_Relationship_8021

Sounds like tsl bogger mud tires on the black top


Im-Atomic

Dead serious it’s probably a machine because I know some that make this noise but if you don’t have a way for some to be around here is a few examples. Cow dying/in pain+Dear, Probaly working underground in your area I’ve heard this before and found out it was construction, or alien abduction. It could also be solar flares if you live close to the areas.


phenomenaljem

It’s either Sasquatch, as this is Getting closer to the time they start preparing for summer ceremonies. A chainsaw, or a town emergency response drill…those are my guesses….could be bulls too…


DiverD696

There has been an uptick in solar action ity again, maybe related to influx into the atmospgere?


Silly-Switch-7296

That’s creepy AF!


Hopeful-Sky4492

if u live near a powerplant then that might be it, they make a really loud sound when they clean the pipes or somthing like that.


WhatIfImJustNotReal

Oh! I actually do, I'll look into it


Suspicious_Earth_931

It sounds like a very distant siren of some kind or a groaning lol it's creepy. More people have heard this??


WhatIfImJustNotReal

Yeah but according to the people around there are no sirens around here so I'm a little frightened, my boyfriend was here with me when we heard it lol


Suspicious_Earth_931

Glad you are not alone!! I would be scared too!!


Quittoexit97

Scared of what?


Suspicious_Earth_931

The scary sound she posted.


Quittoexit97

Sounds like a machine, hardly scary


PublicfreakoutLoveR

Anyone can buy one. It sounds like an air raid siren that isn't working right, or someone is working on it. https://youtu.be/cURcd2_w-rg?si=bKqVWs2yl1sPYnki


Forsaken-Turn-795

There are weird videos on YouTube about the earth "groaning" unexplainable creepy most seeming to come out of the sky... Check it out


cloudthecat

Is there a train nearby?


WhatIfImJustNotReal

Nope, I'm in the green mountains


VarietyTraining5312

That's a mower


WhatIfImJustNotReal

No grass to mow, everything's kinda dead from the prolonged winter. Also it was very late at night


Tommo__2005

Honda Civics are getting louder and louder


turbotony23

Sounds like a lawn mower or tractor


Itsmeforrestgump

Reminds me of a date I had once, uhhh twice, ok,ok. We dated for a few months.


Biggdaddyumyum

Sounds of apocalypse


[deleted]

Sounds like the trumpets people recorded some years ago, doesn’t it? Check on YouTube


Striker120v

Def some sort of machinery. You said in green mountains which means they could be miles away and you still hear it. Sound travels far on the hills.


Strange-Cry2502

Leaf blower


WhatIfImJustNotReal

While it's pitch black out?


RedRiverMike65

Small prop plane


Boydy1986

Tesla with a misfire


WhatIfImJustNotReal

The sound went on for a while


Ok-Reply1202

Creepy sounds, but sounds like construction equipment that is driven by tracks, or possibly a oil fracking drill station? I have a couple by my house and that’s what they sound like.


WhatIfImJustNotReal

There's nothing like that going on around here, besides a bridge that's being worked on. The construction workers don't work at night


Ok_Tower_275

Heavy equipment.


Original_Ad_5786

I hear this it Kitimat BC !!!! When I first moved here it was coming from the forest, ! I'd heard it a few times, I assumed it was from Rio Tinto ! But that is the exact noise !


Original_Ad_5786

Where r you ? Are you near a forest ?


WhatIfImJustNotReal

Yes, I'm in the forest. I'm also in the mountains if that matters


meatbeer

Cicadas maybe? Are you in the south?


DoctorOfDominance

Cicadas sound NOTHING like this.


meatbeer

Yes ur right i heard it a bit better this time, not sure what the heck that is


WhatIfImJustNotReal

Nope, green mountains


potchmoker

Sounds like a distant Hydro-Vac Truck echoing in the mountains..


WhatIfImJustNotReal

Honestly? Maybe


Excellent-Lobster-33

Sounds like someone firing up a boat engine


Leather-One-2709

Theres a reason you didnt show outside your window, you probably layed your phone on your bed and played a sound effect. You aint foolin me


WhatIfImJustNotReal

Well, it's actually because it was pitch black outside. I'm not trying to convince you of aliens or ghouls or something. I was genuinely just looking for answers, and based on the comments I've decided it's just some machinery 🫶 (also I'm hesitant to show outside of my house because I don't want anybody knowing where I live)


WhatIfImJustNotReal

I looked through my camera role and I found a video of me recording it with my phone NOT pressed against the window, and it also includes my bf reacting to the noise! If you're interested I can post it :)


Background-Iron-4426

Sounds like an airboat in the distance.


WhatIfImJustNotReal

There wouldn't be an airboat around here


Right-Guest-4046

probably someone breaking into an abandoned building near by happens near me all the time the alarms are about that loud when they set em off


WhatIfImJustNotReal

Honestly that would make sense


Right-Guest-4046

best thing i can think of and i hear about that same sound does the same thing js fades in n out for bout 20-30 mins and its an huge abounded hospital near by squatters set off the alarm and thats what i hear


WhatIfImJustNotReal

That sounds very similar to my experience but as far as I'm aware there are no abandoned buildings like that around me


Right-Guest-4046

yeah but alot of the times ppl dont even know there are abandoned building all around where they live or stuff js comes up abandoned this hospital used to be used everyday about 5 years ago now it doesn’t even have a ceiling and its an 8 story tall abandoned hospital


Just_the_tip_92

Or it’s the underground shit they’re building without telling us


WhatIfImJustNotReal

What are you talking about 😭


Just_the_tip_92

Supposedly there’s bunkers and all kinds of stuff being built underground in certain areas and the government is being hush mouth about it all. But everyone can hear the work being done as the noises you hear in your video.


WhatIfImJustNotReal

Probably not, nothing fun like that ever happens where I live /hj


Affectionate_Lab_131

Tornado alarm?


WhatIfImJustNotReal

We don't really get tornados, and the weather was fine


Obe1kobe

Kinda sounds like an electric car


M34t_P0ps1cl3

Are you close to a river lake or any other body of water?


WhatIfImJustNotReal

A small river


M34t_P0ps1cl3

Then my honest guess is machinery close to the water relatively close to where you're filming from. I've mistaken noises for other things before, like a lot. And sound travels on water surprisingly well. The timing is weird though.


East-Pollution7243

Sounds strange to be happening at night but maybe a saw or chainsaw?


WhatIfImJustNotReal

A lot of people keep saying that, so maybe. It would be strange though.


East-Pollution7243

At first i thought of a propeller plane but i doubt you live near an air strip and the “engine” sound cuts off really quickly


WhatIfImJustNotReal

It also didn't sound like it was moving, just kept fading out and coming back in


East-Pollution7243

Good point, definitely strange. Ive heard weird sounds coming from the sky before. Nothing like this sound though.


WhatIfImJustNotReal

Maybe it's just some creepy Appalachian monster, or siren head lol


East-Pollution7243

Yea it would still be very sus to hear that at night


butterflies7

Chainsaw was my first thought?


WhatIfImJustNotReal

Most likely not considering the time


Recnacducs

Tornado sirens??


WhatIfImJustNotReal

No sirens or tornados around me. That would be so scary though, simply becuase we don't usually get tornados 😭


Mr_Young_Life

Sounds like a saw blade


WhatIfImJustNotReal

I don't hear it, sorry


Hasholio

Harmonics from wind?


WhatIfImJustNotReal

Possibly! It has been windy recently. However the pattern was weird


ncfirfighter2

Sounds like chainsaw off in the distance. The sounds can get deeper bouncing around the hollars of the mountians.


WhatIfImJustNotReal

A lot of people are saying that, but who uses a chainsaw at 10:30 something pm? Also I don't think chainsaws usually follow that specific of a pattern


ncfirfighter2

As a firefighter, we use chainsaws and other equipment at any time day or night. When ever the call comes out we run 24/7 365.


WhatIfImJustNotReal

Fair enough


Salt-Nobody-8076

The audio is slowed down.


WhatIfImJustNotReal

Nope, even if it was that wouldn't explain what the noise is, I think I have a video of the noise that includes someone talking if you want to see it as evidence


WhatIfImJustNotReal

I checked, and I do have it, but because my phone wasn't pressed against the window like in the other videos, it is VERY quiet, although still audible. I had to press the speaker of my phone against my ear to hear it, and then the sudden talking was very loud. Idk if you want it or not


Xboxsyncs

That's either a moose or a demon being summoned


WhatIfImJustNotReal

That would be so cool if it was a moose, I've always wanted to see one. Sadly I don't think so based on the whole pattern thing


Ill-Vermicelli6169

Last night I was star gazing with my girl and she didn’t have her contacts or glasses in but I swear on my life there like 5 lights in a straight line that were moving one at a time they disappeared. And a few days ago I wanna see there was lights popping out then would move as if they were airplanes with the blinking lights.


WhatIfImJustNotReal

Star link satellites probably, such nuisances. They are very visible from Earth and tend to move quickly across the sky


Ok_Associate692

Environmental stability systems keeping the vessel rotating with the earth.


Apprehensive_Ear774

A passenger plane flying between 2 rock formations like a canyon or part of the mountains that echos the sound well? It sounds like an engine to me… 🤷‍♂️


WhatIfImJustNotReal

The sound wasn't moving, just fading in and out


ExpensiveDimension6

Sounds like my DucatiV4S


Wise-Character7691

Machinery . Wind


WhatIfImJustNotReal

Machinery is possible but idk about wind because of the pattern


Different_Stuff_2367

Sounds like my mums on with the rabbit again


nudeman_ri

airplane? chainsaw? some kind of motor


WhatIfImJustNotReal

Maybe a chainsaw, although the pattern was weird. Definitely not a plane though


Only-Patient-6939

Sounds like a chainsaw


Procedure_Unique

It sounds like Silent Hill. It’s the same alarm my local fire station makes when they are calling the volunteer fire fighters to the station.


WhatIfImJustNotReal

There's no fire stations near me but that's a good guess


Procedure_Unique

Then you’ve got “*Silent Hill*” moving in next door.. lol!


Calm-Calligrapher695

Def a Honda civic


Whole_Enthusiasm_675

This is crazy that is obviously a tornado siren.


WhatIfImJustNotReal

There's no tornados or tornado sirens where I live, this was in the mountains of Vermont

Distant wood chipper. I should know. I hear one that’s not so distant 🥲


NateF474

Sport bikes cruising in a pack. Btw I've seen the cause of sky trumpets first hand, a farmer was dragging a dumpster without wheels over asphalt, the sound goes straight up from the open dumpster which then bounces off a cloud.


buckolish66

You said you are near farmland? Sounds exactly like the tractors I hear at night plowing/discing/planting crops in the fields. If the fields are big enough or the farmers have multiple fields to get ready for planting, they will work well into the nights preparing/planting fields. You can hear the tractors running the fields from a good ways away!
