What is that noise?

[Jskates9]

Is anyone hearing that noise this morning near Collier? It sounds like gunshots or fireworks? It has been going on a good 45 minutes!

[PeggyS8]

We were also trying to figure it out......

Nail guns? Any new construction in your area?

That's my thinking, Mike.

[Phanatic Luvr]

Doesn't sound like nail guns, as it isn't the usual pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. It more like pop, pop ..........pop, pop.
It started early though!!!!! :( Too early for a Saturday morning.

[Jskates9]

No construction nearby - and much louder than nail guns.... Started before sunrise....

Its a target practice run by the naval fliers. I wont write the word in full because Homeland Security might get me. It is a b*mb run.

[Boudicca]

PS Its usually noted in the Daily Sun

Do you know where? We are in Hillsborough and it is loud and clear and has been since shortly after 6. I called the non-emergency Sumter Sheriff about 6:45 and they were going to send someone out. Wouldn't they know if it was military?

Florida duck season started this morning.

[tomwed]

In the rain, contrails are noisy.

[Villager Joyce]

I'm going to suggest there are thousands of ducks or people with really bad aim. :-)

[tomwed]

It's a 21 gun village salute but we only got one gun and we lost the count.

I live in Pinellas and woke up to a noise around 6:15. Where I live it was softer but distinct

[tomwed]

I hope the navy has the village gps app. You know it's only $4.99?

I live in Pinellas and heard the noise. It woke me about 6:15 but where I live the sound was softer. I thought one of my cats was trapped somewhere at first.

Artillery Fungus?

[GeoGeo]

Duck season started today. You might hear shooting as early as 1/2 hour before sunrise. As you described....pop,pop,pop,pop.

Thanks. Interesting information.

According to the on-line news, the sheriff's office investigated reports of shots fired and found 30 to 40 boats out hunting early this morning. Canada Goose hunting season continues until Jan 30, 2015.

Heard it in Tamarind Grove too. Sounds like gunshot followed by an echo.

[Diva Kay]

I'm in Hillsborough as well - it woke us up at 6. We went outside but could not determine where it was coming from.

[MikeV]

I live in Charlotte and it didn't bother me at all since I did not hear it.
