Sometimes the quarries use explosives. When I lived in Tirellan Heights we'd often hear them (and sometimes get a dust cloud passing over as a result, it was fairly close).

I'd say if the wind is right you could hear them as far as Newcastle, it's only a mile or so. But I'd be surprised if they did it at night.
