Mystery Noise
A noise sounding like thunder was heard near Calmalli in 1751, by Padre Fernando Consag and his exploring party. Local Indians said it was heard more
often in summer, and seemed to come from the earth at a nearby hill. Although the explorers looked, they were unable to find any fissure or crater.
In his book La Primera Entrada, Carlos Lazcano Sahagun says in a footnote [p. 158] that ranchers in the San Pedro Martirs have mentioned a similar
phenomenon.
Has any Nomad heard this mysterious noise?

Joking aside, this seems to be not so uncommon. It was also reported that a similar sound was heard around the northern Sierra's up here in Northern
California...

I think the humor is in:
conejo = rabbit
cangrejo = crab (smaller ones)
"canejo" must mean: bunny crab

Here in Vista we call that noise "shelling at camp pendleton".
Growing up in Arizona in the summertime we sometimes had what we called "dry thunder". Sometimes you couldn't see any clouds, but I assume they were
behind the mountain.

Sometimes when I am out at the ranch at the mouth of canyon cajon I hear a rumbling noise like a big generator way off in the distance. Only problem
is I know no one else is running a generator out there.
A major fault runs goes right through the property. I have often wondered if I am hearing noise created by the fault.
Most of the booms around here come from fireworks, heard but not always seen.
Was Padre Consag traveling during Christmas or Mexican Independence day?

Well, except for BBob's description, the answer to the question seems to be "No." Thanks, everyone.

I have hard of noise caused by plate tectonics in fault zones. What Burro Bob says makes sense and seems to fit in with that idea.

Old thread. I do remember being with ranchers in Leandro Valle in the mountains South of Valle de Trinidad and hearing some low-pitched but deep
sounds in the faraway distance. I remember the more senior rancher speculating it was the waves from the Bufadora. This was questioned by the other
people in the party, with which the senior rancher responded: "Pues que mas puede ser?"
