Weird sound in Australia?

Okay, this afternoon at roughly 3:00, there was a sound that sounded much like a big jet fly over. However, this sound lasted for about 15 - 20 minutes, and was constant. It did have a change in volume, but it mainly stayed very loud. It only went into lower sounds for about 5 seconds. I live in QLD. Anybody else hear such things? Unforunately, i did not catch any footage as my phone is #.

I didn't hear anything out of the ordinary today, maybe it was just something you didnt see?

Thats what i was thinking, but i had a clear view of the sky and i couldn;t spot a single aircraft, a bit weird.

Oh well can't help then, Heard a strange noise myself today.

I was at work this arvo when i heard a strange sounding plane come past, then another so i stepped out side and their were five planes doing an impromptu aerobatics show right above us. It was awesome, brought most of Rocky to a stand still.

People have been reporting this all over the globe. here is one example. www.abovetopsecret.com...
Go to the search and search "strange sounds." There are even a few videos. I was reading about these earlier. Might be the same thing you've heard based on your description.

Thanks for the info mate

Here's a post where they are starting to map out the locations of these noises. They are acting like it's underground but two videos I have seen, which am having trouble locating at this moment, have a flash in the sky right before the noise quits.

I know the sound you are talking about & its not like any of the videos Ive heard on here before, it is like a high flying plane but just lasts for up to an hour.

Ive been hearing it for about 5-6 months on & off. I only notice it late at night, after midnight, so I know its not planes as there is an airport curfew. It nothing like the engine test suggested before as I am slightly north of Sydney, & also, it is obviously coming from the sky & nothing ground based.

No idea what it is, its not particularly loud, not every night, & certainly not a normal noise for this area, the only flight path Im near is for emergency choppers going to the hospital.

SE as in Brissie? 3pm was lying in bed with my 12 month old, no sound I could hear other than the crazy wind! (I'm in Bris west - close to Ipswich)

Sound like this?

When I lived in Brisbane, SE Queensland, a few years ago, I heard a wierd sound one day which seemed to me like a huge airframe, such as an airliner size perhaps, swoop extremely low over my roof top, only without the engines at all. I was inside the house, so did not get the chance to see anything.

I am familiar with aviation, along with gliders, which are unpowered aircraft. The whooshing sound they make, if your below one as its landing, sounded similar, yet this was muuuuch bigger. It was a fast paced, buffetting, swooshing noise, along with a small but continuous whistling sound, as though a piece of metal from this object/craft extended into its airflow....thats the impression I got anyway. Overall, it came & went as a noise which approached extremely low, passed overhead & continued away until it dissapeared. Duration was perhaps 7-8 seconds.

The weather was overcast, persistent light rain & still, calm conditions, about 12-13:00 PM. I was approximately 5Km south/ south west of Archerfield airport. therefore no chance of there being any gliders at all, but of course every chance of light (powered) GA aircraft, along with large jets coming into & out of Brisbane airport which is much further away.

I would say that any aircraft that far away from either airport would have crashed if it was that low without power. Also, a training flight would not be conducting any simulated engine failures there as it is built up (houses), well out of Archerfields' circuit area & out of the training area for that sort of thing. Anyway, such an excersise would have resulted in the pilot applying full power at some point, having descended so low & I heard no evidence of any engines in operation.

I'll add - if it were a massive aircraft, you'd know it! When the f1-11s did their final flyover last dec, I wasn't aware our new house was DIRECTLY under them, I literally hit the floor! Not a sound you'd mistake for anything else - I'll keep my ears out OP!

distant thundering storms echo?

Yeah, exactly like what you described, the one i heard lasted a maximum of 20 minutes, however, i walked into heavy traffic so it could have lasted longer. It was coming from the sky, but i didn't see anything.

Nah, it's definately not that, but thanks anyway

Arghhhh

I have never heard these sounds but completely believe they are real.

Nothing ever happens in Adelaide.
