Cryoseisms

"On Christmas Eve, many people in and around Toronto reported hearing a loud "boom," like something had fallen on their house."

Cyroseisms are rare, localized seismic events that occur when a sudden drop in temperature freezes the groundwater, which then expands and cracks the soil and rock. The crack will release a sudden burst of explosive energy, resulting in a loud noise and the shaking of the ground. They usually occur between midnight and dawn.

Plommer,

Have you ever heard the mysterious Hum in Windsor? I remember reading about this in the summer. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/windsor-s-mysterious-hum-is-real-says-researcher-1.1414596

We need to find out what this noise is if I decide to head to Windsor for meetings in Jan/Feb.

I have not heard the hum. Apparently the hum is closer to the west end, I'm centrally located.

My sister and brother-in-law report hearing 2 booms over Tuesday night that would probably be this phenomenon (in Bolton).
