God farts in California’s general direction.
Gun Fire! No mystery here.
Sounds like gun shots.
I hear sounds like that all the time in my area. Always lots of target practice going on.
Strange things can happen with acoustics when there are low clouds like that.
People get all worked up over simple things sometimes.
She also hears what she describes as a metallic rotating sound.

I bet that’s different from the sound of wet grass.
Hail suppression cannon for the booms, not sure about the whistling noise.
High 12 ft, left 8
High 6,right 4...
The metallic whirling may be a 30 cal projectile below 1000fps.
I don’t buy target practice. This is rhythmic, every 5 or 6 seconds for over 8 minutes. Nobody shoots like that without melting a barrel.
That is weird!
My home area. They’ve been using suppression cannons down there for years as it is a large agricultural fruit area with peaches, plums, and almonds. During the spring when the blooms are out, hail does a lot of damage to the fruit trees so they have been working with the cannons for years to try to hold off hail.
But hail is not exactly just frozen rain. Hail comes from the winds sucking the rain drops back up into the clouds where they are coated over and over with freezing water at high altitudes and very low temps. So a stone big enough to do real damage to crops is not going to be obliterated by sound waves in it’s ultimate fall because it got too big to be sucked back up. And that weight is inconsistent with size as much as wind speeds.
Cal Poly at San Luis has been trying to act as advocates for these devices since 2010, and they’ve sold the things just enough that the locals do not know what they are since they are not used very much.
There are two military sites in the area that fly at Fresno and Lemoore, but the repetition of the sound would not be fly over aircraft and sound waves do not make a metal sound follow up.

Not to worry. The government probably breached a worm hole in a weather control experiment.
I live in Fresno and on Monday April 16 late afternoon I heard the booming late that afternoon as rain clouds moved in from the west going east. Probably 20-30 miles away from where she was recording. At first it was like low thunder but with no lightning. Than it just repeated the cycle. I thought the neighbor must be pounding on something and that was not the case. It was the exact same time and we were hearing the distant booms that she heard overhead. The closest comparison would be a sonic boom without the shock wave. I have experienced many sonic booms and this was audibly the same sound, but without the impact of any shockwave. If anything as she described it could have been an F-22 in super cruise doing circles overhead breaking the sound barrier as it descended or just circled at high speed for ten minutes.
