    The one above reminds me of the sound one of the bridges in Limerick makes on a windy day. It whistles through the railings when the wind is blowing a certain direction and can be heard all over the city.

    While looking around after watching one of those youtube videos i noticed the film Redstate, which the hoax videos used as inspiration for these sounds.
    Turned out to be a pretty good film!

    Small ruptures in the atmospheric pressure of the room is more preferable than one large explosion.

    Canadians Make a Racket Over Mysterious 'Windsor Hum'
    WINDSOR, Ontario—Last month, Bob Dechert, a senior aide to Canada's foreign minister, was dispatched to Detroit with an important diplomatic mission: To stop a highly annoying noise.
    The so-called Windsor hum, described as a low-frequency rumbling sound, has rattled windows and knocked objects off shelves in this border community just across the Detroit River from the Motor City. Locals have said it sounds like a large diesel truck idling, a loud boom box or the bass vocals of Barry White.
    Windsor residents have blamed the hum for causing illness, whipping dogs into frenzies, keeping cats housebound and sending goldfish to the surface in backyard ponds. Many have resorted to switching on their furnace fan all season to drown out the noise.
    Even weirder, Americans can't seem to hear it. Canadians find that suspicious—especially since their research suggests the hum is coming from the Yankees' side—and accuse U.S. officials of staying silent over the noise.

    I've been hearing these in Dublin lately, in completely different areas. I've heard a couple times in Dublin 8, and just today a couple times in D1/D4/Docklands. I've been with other people in both instances. The sound is loud, scraping, mechanical... a bit like a ships horn but much, much louder and not "hollow" sounding, more percussive.

    Anybody else? What the heck is going on?

    I personally have heard stange noises and witnessed other strange phenomena this year here in Kerry and it appears I am not the only one either.

    I heard something like this once in my hometown, Portlaoise. It was pretty late, I was walking home with a friend, and we swore somebody was playing the sound of Whales making noises or something. It sounded like a more quieter version of what you hear OP's first video, the one in Canada. I don't know what it was, and in fairness we did have a few pints in us, and probably some class A's while we were at it, but he heard it too, idk.

    Could it be Westlife?

    Now I don't normally pay attention to these theories, but I am on holidays in Venice, Florida, and heard a similar noise today, nearly shat myself.

    The noise has been logically explained already. Read up about that kind of stuff and you wont **** yourself, or enjoy the thrill of thinking the angels are coming to put a fire under your ass

    Noises heard in Cork over the last couple of weeks..including a video recorded in Cork. Heard the second noise myself. Very odd noise but must be road works of some kind or a factory venting ****e into the air.

    Aliens are coming. It's an early warning system.
