I seem to remember, from years ago, reading that underground Wisconsin was the area for a huge submarine communications base. Wonder if it is being expanded or modified.

Your comment caused me to remember when the bunkers were being built under the VP’s house when Cheney was there.
I wonder if Ol’Joe even knows they are there? Does Joe ever remind you of the Grandpa in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang?

Yeah some are speculating that it was the failed rift to the west of the area. I am not thinking such. Some are speculating glacial rebound but that does not make sense either.
Certainly the longer this continues the more clues they will be able record but it sure is interesting!

That recorded "boom" is not a simple, percussive impulse like an explosion. It has a sustained "pitch" -- like a tympani beat...
Used to work near a petroleum storage tank farm. The tanks made "boong" sounds like that when they expanded or contracted with changing temperature.

Upon hearing it, I can see why the residents are a bit rattled. Tell me why. What's different to you?

Sounds like Seneca guns to me. And who knows what those are?

You’re right. I think you’re 100 per cent wrong.

Yeah the difference here though that seperates it from other booming events is the quantified shaking and rolling.

Don't know who the guitar dude is supposed to represent, but the recorded "boong" sound is similar to what you would get if you hit that guitar body with a soft mallet...
I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that the kid with the recording isn't pulling an April 1 "Ferris Buehler" synth trick on the townfolk...
OTOH, a couple of microbarograph arrays (like used to detect and triangulate on aboveground nuke tests) would be fairly cheap and easy to implement. Using off-the-shelf tubing, sensors, computers, I/O modules and software, and with the help of a good surveyor for precise siting, you could have mB arrays running in a week or two.

The new Doppler seismic array system was the first to detect the small tremor swarm last week. And supposedly they do now have some excellent sound recording devices placed.

IMHO, the folks who are bothered by the "booms" would be well-advised to consult with
AFTAC...

Scratch the surveyor. A good GPS should suffice...
(Might need a better master clock than the usual PC provides, though.)

I sure won’t argue with you, since I have no evidence.
Whatever it ultimately is, it’ll be nice to know.
There are things like this elsewhere.
from an article about North Carolina ————
Such dins are not unique to North Carolina or the modern age. People living near Seneca Lake in upstate New York have long known of similar booming sounds, which they called “Seneca guns.” In coastal Belgium, they are known as “mistpouffers,” or fog belches; in the Ganges delta and the Bay of Bengal, “Bansal guns;” in the Italian Apennines, “brontidi,” or thunder-like; and by the Harami people of Shikoku, Japan, “yan.”
