Loud mystery shook Bengaluru as officials ruled out an earthquake

A loud sound shook windows and shocked residents in parts of south and southwest Bengaluru as officials ruled out an earthquake, although it was not clear if the sound was a screeching sound.

Hundreds of people took to social media to record their experience with the audio around 12.15pm. From HAL in the east to JP Nagar in the south to Rajarajeshwari Nagar in the west and many others, many have reported that windows were shaken and have come up with several theories, from transformer explosion to earthquake.

I heard a huge explosion from the southeast direction of Bengaluru a minute ago. Maybe a sonic boom?

Officials from the Karnataka State Center for Natural Disaster Monitoring said that no earthquake was recorded by a broadband seismograph. “The seismograph is able to record ground vibrations, even those caused by a quarry, within a distance of 10 km. From what we are hearing, the sound does not appear to be related to the earthquake as no ground vibrations were recorded,” a senior official told DH.

Police ruled out, after an initial investigation, the possibility of an explosion that caused the sound. A DCP officer told DH, “We don’t have clear information yet. However, looking at past experience, it sounds like a screeching bang.”

For its part, HAL said it could not comment on the issue. “Regular sorties of fighters and trainers take place from HAL airport. Today was no different. HAL cannot comment on the loud noise that is said to have been heard today in Bengaluru,” said Gopal Sutar, a spokesman for HAL.

This is the third time such an incident has been recorded in Bengaluru. The first incident was reported in 2018 when people in several parts of southern Bengaluru reported the sound. The mystery of the boom was solved in May 2020 late at night when the Department of Defense clarified that the explosion was caused by a sonic boom.

However, an administration spokesperson said, Friday’s sound was not caused by aircraft from the Air Force. “We have been informed that none of the ASTE aircraft were flying at the time,” the spokesperson said.
