Hey all,

Last night I woke up at like 2am to this sort of distant-but-loud-enough banging/clapping sound. It kind sounded of like a large truck with a bunch of stuff in it going over bumps.. but like, constantly for at least 40 mins. It was distant enough so it might not have been IN Westboro, but loud enough that I could hear it clearly with my windows closed. Anyone else hear this? Assuming it might be something to do with the O-Train, but are construction sites working all night or something?

Anyone else hear a very loud boom in the chapel hill area this morning?

8:22am exactly.

Felt like thunder, sounded different though!

Sounds like construction blasting

Been here 17 years and we're used to the quarry blasts near Kavanagh or Tomlinson on the south side of Hwy 7, but that was by far the loudest explosion I've heard yet. Shook the house big time and sounded WAY closer than normal. Anyone know who is doing this?

EDIT: One of my neighbours called around and was able to confirm it was Cavanaugh doing a blast on Dwyer Hill Rd. MNR has been notified as well to look into it.

It's 1030 on a school night what gives people

Anyone else hearing it? I’m used to it during the day but in the evening is just a bit infuriating.

It just went on and on!

Queensway-Carleton / Nepean

Just heard a loud boom like a distant artillery shell in the Elmvale Acres/Lynda Lane Park area. Anyone else?

Anyone just hear that? 9:45 PM. I’m in Alta Vista area.

Edit: JUST HEARD IT AGAIN @ 10:03 PM

Anyone know whats up or where that humming/vibration noise is coming from?

TIA

Gunshots? Fireworks? Seems like too many for too long for it to be the cement factory. I’d say big fireworks for sure if it was night.

Been going off for hours, just end me

Just a warning to folks in the Preston/Little Italy area to watch your surroundings and if you sense someone following you be careful. This man "had a bad day" and decided to randomly follow and proceed to grab me.

I was walking up Preston north from Carling. I heard a man walking behind me with a rustling bag -- he had a reflective vest on which seemed normal with all the construction in the area. I took a turn right by the Heart and Crown toward Rochester and he kept following me. I turned south on Rochester and he still followed me (which was weird since he'd walked up north with me). I stepped off the side walk and let him walk in front of me. He walked a bit but then I caught up to him since he slowed down. Then when I walked in front of him he suddenly grabbed my butt from behind. I was stunned but said what the hell and he just ran off back toward the heart and crown walk direction just walking casually.

Sounded a bit too snappy for a gun, but also didn’t sound like firecrackers. All the sirens kind of add to the… ambiance

Anyone know anything?

Got woken up slightly before 7am today (Sep 24) to all kinds of sirens - multiple firetrucks with the big horns, plus other sirens. I'm in Centretown, right downtown. Can't see smoke but it sounds like the a response to a big fire. Anyone know what it was?

I just was woken up somewhere around 12:55-12:00 by a loud banging almost kinda popping sound.. it repeated a few times with a small silence after each and no clear pattern.. I'm near the jockvale area of Barrhaven. did anyone else hear it?

Has anyone else noticed that the airplanes are flying much lower than usual over Nepean recently? Just twice this evening you could hear the jet engines very loudly, when they're normally much more faint and distant.

my partner and i have noticed some rumbling/vibrations in our apartment located in hintonburg. it’s kinda like a tremor. we’ve been noticing it since last night. it’s been about every 5 seconds or so. just wondering if anyone else has felt it!

Around 9:40pm on Sunday. Sounded like gunshots to me. Neighbours went out to see what’s up but went back in soon after.

It sounds like theres a mix of live music, EDM DJ, I thought I heard someone on a mix?

Is there a rave / concert happening in the area? It's been going on for a bit now

I can't change the damn flare. 😡

There has been a helicopter flying low over centretown for an hour and a half now. Between that and construction noise I am never going to get peace and quiet ... #endrant

Do you live in lowertown? Can you tell me what the hell the chainsaw was for that started in the King Edward - Nelson area at 4am? I called non-emeeg and they said there were cops on site. Curious & sleepy. *Edit: a word.

Heard a loud bang and then the power went out in Pineview

I can hear something that sounds like fireworks somewhere near where Stittsville meets Kanata, but can't see anything.

Past 4 hours this lady has been screaming a scream I would not have heard in my worst nightmares. So many cops in Byward but they can’t stop a woman screaming her lungs out all night.

Anything going on in term of concerts this Sunday evening?

Loud drum and bass all the way to Vanier this evening.

Anybody know what event is happening in or around Byward market tonight that has extremely loud music playing? Checked Ottawa Tourism website and couldn't find mention of any event that seems like it would be causing this much volume.

Not used to hearing that around here but it's gotten fairly common over the past week. am i just going crazy?
