IMO, the V-22 makes more of a growling/ rumbling sound than a roar.
Plenty of fast movers along the Gulf Coast between what’s stationed at NAS Pensacola and Tyndall AFB.
F-35s are the loudest jets currently flying in the U.S., and they’re based out of Eglin AFB, Pensacola Florida, in the panhandle.
That’d be my guess for an unusually loud sound at night in the gulf area.
Anyone who either lives between around Milton, Florida or the Jackson County area of Mississippi would have heard this noise Thursday night. I don’t know if I can link to a Facebook post but there were at last count over 700 comments and most people aren’t buying the Osprey explanation or the one the local news are trying to put out.
People from Milton Florida to where I live in Lucedale, Ms heard this loud noise that lasted 3-4 minutes and it sounded like something was about to land on our house! A lot of people all across the coast said the same thing. This noise was extremely loud and close and sustained for that amount of time. It sounded more like the space shuttle launching.
Anyway, anyone who lives in this area if you heard it please comment or if you know anyone who lives in this area please find out if they heard it and ask if they can comment here. And if you know if I can post a Facebook link I will post it so anyone interested can read other people’s comments from across the coast.
Thanks.

The boyz from Jacksonville practice touch-n-go landings down here at the dinky l’il Oak Island Airport with their Ospreys. They’ll carry on for a few hours sometimes circling the whole area for a coupla hours. It’s pretty noisy. But more like a chopper with a lower freq tone. Low frequency makes it “feel” louder.

I was afraid this was going to be about the Berniebots’ fart-in.
