The only thing mysterious about these booms, is that the Navy isn’t forthcoming with why they are continuing to allow their pilots to fly supersonic when they claim they never do. This is not a “mystery” except to reporters who aren’t asking the right questions. For all you folks dealing with the noise, this is what you are going to get a lot more of if the Navy is successful in implementing their proposed electromagnetic warfare training in Olympic National Forest & surrounding areas.
A new round of booming noises has disturbed residents of west Port Angeles and Joyce, who say the mysterious sounds shake their homes. The rattling noises were reported at about 12:21 p.m. Wednesday, almost exactly two weeks after the last round of booms heard on the afternoon of Feb. 25, and again at about 9:35 a.m. Thursday…. Speculation on the cause of the booms has included naval military exercises in the Strait, thunder, sonic booms from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island aircraft, hunters and small, shallow earthquakes.
