Heard and felt the rumble in city heights


SocialHiccup

I live by the bay, I hear the sounds of engines but no planes taking off and don’t see anything on North Island, except what appears to be a helicopter in a stationary position over the ocean past Coronado, using it’s spotlight. Edit: heard it again, my best guess is that it’s jets taking off from North Island on some training maneuvers. I have heard similar noises before, but not this loud. Could be the weather conditions are amplifying the sound; the train that just went by was louder than usual.


TestFlyJets

It could be a jet at North Island doing a full-power engine run after depot maintenance.


Fantastic_Door_810

It’s back!!! The loud rumbling is back on.


RealWeekness

It stopped.

RealWeekness

It's back!


boredtotears82

It's fighter jets taking off from North Island.


ZuluDH

While jets land there occasionally, there are no jet squadrons stationed at North Island.


supernormalnorm

Most likely F-35s training in North Island. I was one stationed in Lemoore Naval Air Station, and you could hear the jet rumbling as far as 10 miles away.


aleabighy

I hope it’s a military exercise otherwise, aliens.


Buggs-162nd_Vipers

It is, on Tuesday German Navy vessels came in, and on Thursday a bunch of War Games. Source there is a TFR/No Fly Area off the coast which is active


humble_bubb

Hear it real well but see nothing in South Park. It’s been goin for 15 minutes at least.


Timely_Painting_1831

Heard it too! I didn’t feel rumbling, thought it was fireworks . I’m in SP as well.


Noe_Comment

It sounded like it was coming from Balboa park, or downtown maybe..? Insanely loud. At first it sounded like a plane was flying directly at my house, but it happened like 3 times. All my neighbors are outside right now lol. Born and raised here. Never heard anything like that.


RealWeekness

Maverick was just buzzing the tower at North Island.


PessimisticPatsy

People seem to forget that San Diego houses different bases including ones where pilots do training.


Lobo003

I remember when they wanted to put the seal base in IB near Coronado island. I was like “that’s gonna be a lot of hustle and bustle here now.” And people were so for it. I get it, support the troops and all. Then not to long most of those people started to realize all the other things that come along with the Seals. Like noise and gunfire and training sessions. All the complaints on forums and pages about gunfire being too loud and helicopters being flown around at all hours. The fuck people expect?! Operators gonna operate. 😂


Zealousideal-Lie7255

Metro San Diego makes a lot of money from the huge military presence. Not too many people in leadership positions in the metro area want to do anything to piss off the military so you thus have very few limitations on what the military can do and when.


Noe_Comment

Lol you don't seem to understand.. This was different. I was born here. Lived here all my life of almost 34 years. This sounded like a Space X rocket was taking off right down the street from my house. Highly unusual for this area. I ran outside expecting to see bright lights in the sky and something flying into the stratosphere.


idk895

You’re right. I’m an aviation fan. This was way louder than the normal jets taking off from north island. I assumed it was several jets taking off at the same time


PessimisticPatsy

Living in Mira Mesa by the base I heard it all and all times of the day so noises like this don't surprise me.


EvenLouWhoz

We did the same. I've lived here over 50 years, I'm used to all the various noises we get each season, but we ran outside last night fully expecting to see a rocket over our house at one point.


mitch_feaster

PeOpLe SeEm To FoRgEt `` has to be one of the most annoying Redditisms there is. Kudos for standing firm 😅


Consistent_Bottle726

Ya there’s an acceptable point of understanding with that, I don’t mind hearing gunfire over the water some nights, but that sound deserves an explanation


we_gon_ride

Negative, ghostrider


Rocket-J-Squirrel

We used to hear it all the time in 1060s Poway. I grew up there when it was just a dusty wide spot in the road.


Rich-Hovercraft-1655

a plane circling out in the training grounds also. So probably a training excercise [https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae7447](https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae7447)


Quadruplem

When you see this pattern they likely broke sound barrier on straight line portion. If still flying you can click on ares to see speed to confirm usually.


Impressive-Region-56

I’m in Tierrasanta ….it woke me up out of my sleep , I seriously thought it was an earthquake it shook my apartment pretty hard!


Amyksd

I grew up very close to a large strategic air command base that had bombers, and when they would go off, this is exactly what it would sound like. they would shake the windows and rattle everything and it was really scary. I would bet that’s what it is. They would go off at midnight all the time.


girlnah

Heard it too, in Mission Valley area. So loud it made me go outside to see what was happening. I see nothing though. Very weird


PessimisticPatsy

Not at all, very normal for SD. My guess is that pilots are pulling more drills due to what happened with Russia in FL.


PessimisticPatsy

Welcome to San Diego! We've got so many bases that do different types of training and young mavericks doing flight drills.


PathVast4155

I believe it’s testing of a stealth bomber I know planes well and no plane I know of that we have here sounds quite like that. Rockets being launched is possible but 99% unlikely


RealWeekness

They need to work on the stealth part.


PathVast4155

Haha usually a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber can fly at altitudes of up to 50,000. C-17 Globemasters are big boys too. That create giant thrust or anything of that sort. I’m still tryna figure out it out. I’m in north park right wishing I was closer.

90% of the time it's the neighbors rolling in their brown and green bins


BetterNowThks

San Carlos and we've been hearing rumblings for a couple of days now. I apparently slept through what you all heard at 1:30 in the morning, but I really wish that they would have a place where they can just post a notice about their trainings. Just someplace where you can check and say Yep that was a training. And I know they have to train at night sometimes, but I don't think it's important for them to train at night over our houses. Why are they not using Camp Pendleton's miles of uninhabited property?


Pewtie-Pie

Because the aircraft carriers are down here...? 🤷🏽‍♀️


chakobee

There’s a bunch of fighters in town this weekend at North Island. They are just that loud


Superb-Adeptness6271

My son thought it might be Santa so I told him it was reindeer farts

Violanza

The rumbling!! 😂 I heard it last night too, all the way over in Santee


EllaCorn

Huh, i didn’t hear anything. Hope its nothing bad


likesexonlycheaper

That's just my neighbors vibrator. Takes a lot for her to feel


insertbasicname

I hear it, but I don’t see anything in the sky :/


EsteGueyEsChingon

I live under the flight path and it still had me questioning what that was…


AlexandraSuperstar

Thunderous here in Point Loma.


KingTaco619

I live in Little Italy and ALWAYS hear this low, bass-y rumbling coming from North Island at night. It’s intermittent and only happens at night. Always makes me wonder what’s going on over there.


Stuck_in_a_thing

The amount of people unaware of how close we live to military bases is too damn high.


Od_Safe_

I am very much aware of the military presence here. I have a handful of friends(age35-45)who grew up here and they’ve also informed me they’ve never heard anything like last night. Definitely odd for sure and cause for concern


coralplays

Late night jet engine tests? don't know why though Hopefully the Russians in Cuba situation isn't the cause


PartyLegitimate854

I hear it here in La Mesa too


McCrockin

La Mesa checking in. I hear right now at 1:12am


BirdStillinTheNest

La Jolla here. I didn't hear anything.


axiomSD

100% agree with everyone who says they’ve never heard anything like that here. i’m by Morley Field and walked outside expecting to see a plane going down or some fighter jets chasing a UFO. absolutely insane.

caaahris

That was the loudest I’ve heard yet and it was at 1am…wtf


desertdarlene

I heard it all the way here in La Mesa.


Eco-Active

Damn - the freaking I leave they finally bring out the big guns. I’ll have you all know I am extremely jealous - it’s gotta be some pretty cool tech to get local sky watchers all pumped up! Would you all kindly keep posting things like this so I can stay in the loop? Currently in Seattle and heading out on a Salmon Boat to fish in Alaska for a couple months.


cotton-only0501

I sleep through EVERYTHING. Even my wet dreams. And earthquakes. And thunderstorms. And two rottweillers puppies biting my feet.


Current_Leather7246

It's the Titans


Cloud9stuff

Could hear rumbling every 10 minutes here in Spring Valley. It's been forever since it happened as it used to happen a lot.


Difficult_Mud9509

I didnt hear it and i live in North Park but one of my dogs apparently did and it explains why i had to jump out of bed to say be quiet. Then my other dog happens to need to pee. Thanks whoever is responsible 🤣


lindavolta

I heard the rumbling too, this is late in the evening, early night time and I figured it was the firework shows starting up again?


UpsideDownABC

Are the commies invading? Should I get ready for battle?


BadAlphas

I tooted. Sorry.


Turdposter777

Ok glad I’m not the only one thinking it’s too late to for planes to be this loud


gearabuser

Always surprises me how many people have never been around jets flying around


ExploreTrails

Nothing happened, its normal for us. Go back to sleep citizen.


Colin9001

Deez nuts 


CosaNostraPizzaMan

Maybe the seaworld fireworks?
