I recently wrote about reports of strange sounds that had no clear source of origin in my post titled Hums, booms, and aircraft sounds. Videos on the internet record some of the sounds, such as this one from Germany with a bizarre buzzing sound.
This next video has an interesting perspective on the strange unknown sound phenomena that discusses potentially scientific explanations as well as point out that these sounds may have been heard since ancient times...citing examples of "trumpets" being heard from the sky.

Read another report about an unidentified "boom" sound heard in Mississippi here.
What are these sounds? Are they hoaxes? Are they legit sounds that may seem to not have a clearly visible and logical origin but actually do somewhere off in the distance? Or are they actually something mysterious or unknown? Could the answer include any combination of those questions? We already have UFOs...doing we need to coin a new term now, USWs (Unidentified Sound Waves)?

Hums, booms, and aircraft sounds
Are mysterious sounds, such as hums with no discernible origin, a new phenomena? Or just being reported more often with more widespread coverage in the internet age? Whatever the case may be, mysterious sounds with no discernible origins seem to be getting reported a lot lately.
One of the most common examples is just known as "the hum." It's a low frequency humming sound reported in various geographic locations that is not audible everyone. Here's a news article about a hum in Durham County in the UK. In another example, Canadians complain about a low pitched rumbling sound coming from Zug island on the US side of the Detroit river. But oddly enough, the people of the Detroit suburb don't hear it. Another example from the UK comes from Primrose Hill, where an
"unidentified 'deep resonating humming' coming from all directions at once" was reported.
But what about mysterious booms? A small Wisconsin town, for example, had reports of sounds described as rattling pipes, clanging metal, thunder, and firecrackers (but it was later decided that a 1.5 magnitude earthquake caused the sounds).
Another phenomena being reported are roaring sounds from the sky. They sound like aircraft, but apparently people don't see any aircraft. Also see another report here.
As odd (and random) as some of the sounds may be, there are probably simple explanations, such as the 1.5 magnitude earthquake in Wisconsin. But it may not always be clear that that simple explanation is.
