Maybe you're sitting on top of an underground water or gas main? |

It's been going on for a really long time. Sometimes, when I'm home on a weekday (usually between 12pm and 3pm - I don't know if I've ever noticed it on a weekend), there is this weird rumbling that seems to come from...well...nowhere. It sounds like rolling thunder, but it happens even when (like today) there isn't a cloud in the sky. I thought that it might be wind either blowing on the house or maybe shaking the garage door, but it happens even when there is no wind blowing outside. I even thought that it might just be big trucks driving passed the house, but I've lived here long enough to know what that sounds like. |

That's possible. I will try to find that out. Don't you think that the sound would be a bit more frequent/constant, though? Sometimes it will happen every day (or every weekday, seeing as that's when I usually notice it), but only in the early afternoon hours. I don't know a thing about the conditions of living over a main, but would the activity be that sporadic? |

Well... you seem sure this comes from the house or the ground itself, but... Is there an airport within about 2 miles of your house, and would you happen to be approximately inline with one of the runways? I ask that because when commercial jetliners throttle up to take off, the engines make an awe inspiring thunderous noise that can be heard from miles away in a straight line behind the plane. |

Nah, I'm pretty sure it's not a plane. The nearest airport is a good 15 miles from here, and it is pretty much nothing but small/private aircraft. The nearest airport with commercial liners is in Sanford, which is more like 40 miles away. I did use to live right next to an air force base, back in Georgia, though. That got really annoying after a short while. Heh. |

That's weird man. There's not a subway system or anything like that anywhere in florida that i know about either.... |

Measure the sides of your house from inside and then outside, compare them. |

I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with this, but I saw an episode of unsolved mysteries and one of the segments was about people hearing low, rumbling, or humming noises. It is called the Taos Hum. Look it up on google or whatever. |

Rancor in basement could be the problem. |

You merely have to change your point of view slightly, and then that glass will sparkle when it reflects the light.
The exact same thing has been happening to me - I 'googled' house rumbling and found your post -- I live in middle Tennessee, and I have MANY sink holes - enough that I am now VERY concerned and afraid one day the rumble will be my house descending into who knows where! |
|
I was going to say blasting and mining, but I don't know if that goes on in your area. Blast rumbles can be felt for miles sometimes so it doesn't necessarily have to be close by. It happens here in Texas often, and I know in more northern states. |

Seriously? It's been three years since someone last posted here. Someone please lock this -.- |

Update! |

That would be pretty cool to witness. |
|
Awesome that you solved the mystery O! |
|
You might want to report that to your local environmental office or police. If it's not something that's supposed to occur or is polluting the local water someone or some company could be in hefty trouble for causing the spill. |
|
Man, if I were you I would totally report that, I don't think that's legal. |

Wow, that didn't even occur to me... |

Those pipes are common and not only legal, but encouraged here in Britain, they're called Combined Sewage Overflow pipes... there's a campaign on by surfers to prevent their use. Apparently it's the same in some parts of the US. |

Yeah, I did a little googling the other day, after my last post here, and found an article about some in I think Cleveland or somewhere - they said upgrading the entire sewer system would bankrupt the city! |
|
Well I'm in Hendersonville, TN (Just north of Nashville) The closed air force base is a few hours away, but we are in a very residential area. No strange sewer pipes either. But at random times throughout the day (never at night) we get the sound of thunder and it's so loud it sounds like it's coming from inside the house. There is a large gas line just a few hundred feet from the house. I thought it might be a water hammer but it's just so loud and we're not running the water when it happens. Everything shakes for a few seconds and it feels like an earthquake. |

I'm out in the British countryside and I occasionally hear bombings, too. Also, lions. I live in a cool area. |
