Hey Kat, not sure if you're aware of this or not but Claiborne Range is not too far away from you. It's just southwest of Alexandria, in the middle of southern portion of Kistache National Forrest.
Claiborne Range
Barksdale Air-to-Ground Gunnery Range
Apparently this place is used to test A-10 Thunderbolt II
A-10 Thunderbolt II
Interesting to note the modernization and curent use of these aircrafts in Lybia. I think this may be the source of your noise.

Gotcha. No, I doubt you would be able to hear the planes themselves, as Greeneyedleo pointed out, A-10 are not that loud. However, the base is described as an Air-to-Ground Gunnery range, so it may be weapons testing.
Also, by your location, you're not to far off from Barksdale which also opperates (or opperated) several off-site bombing ranges in the national forest area. I can't tell if these sites are still active today, but I would have to think some are still opperational.

Yeah, sadly I can't watch the vids since I'm at work so I really don't know what this sound is. I'm just trying to spit-ball some possible explainations based on her location.
It would be interesting to pin point various reports of these sounds in relation to New Madrid Fault line.

True....and it could be anything. But where I am is not near any farms....we are next to a forrest. Not too many houses here. I'm sure there is an answer....there has to be. I'll call to make sure though. Thanks!edit on 7/12/2011 by StealthyKat because: (no reason given)
