Unidentified loud noise heard by residents in Wayanad, affected by landslides

The locals were alarmed by the disturbing noise, which was especially noticeable in places like Ambalavayal village and Vythiri Taluk.

A mysterious booming sound and underground reverberations were reported in multiple locations on Friday morning, frightening the residents of Kerala’s Wayanad district, who were already traumatized by recent landslides, according to PTI.

The locals were alarmed by the disturbing noise, which was especially noticeable in places like Ambalavayal village and Vythiri Taluk.

Residents in the impacted zones are being moved to safer areas, according to an announcement made by Wayanad District Collector D R Meghashri in response to the reports. To protect the safety of the populace, the district administration is implementing all appropriate safety measures.

Seismic records are being examined as part of the Kerala State Disaster Management Authority’s (KSDMA) ongoing investigation to identify the source of the noise. Initial analyses, however, show that there was no unusual seismic activity occurring at the time of the sound.

The incident happened at approximately 10:15 AM, as per a member of the local panchayat. The mystery noise has increased community anxieties, as there has been a history of severe landslides in the area that have claimed 226 lives and left many more missing.

Authorities have proclaimed a holiday for schools in the impacted areas out of caution. Authorities from the state and the local government are still keeping a careful eye on the situation.
