What was that noise? Residents across the north side of Houston report loud early-morning sound

A loud sound heard across the northern parts of the Houston area woke and concerned residents.

HOUSTON — A loud sound that echoed across the northern parts of the Houston area early Thursday morning had some residents rushing outside to find its source.

Neighbors said they heard the noise at about 1:30 a.m. Sept. 10. Some initially wondered whether it was a low-flying plane, while others took to neighborhood groups to ask if anyone else had heard it.

Several residents shared videos from the time of the noise that appear to show a plane flying overhead. However, the cause of the loud sound has not been verified by KHOU 11 News.

No injuries or damage connected to the sound have been reported.

The sound prompted plenty of conversation among neighbors, with some saying it was loud enough to wake them up or send them outside to look toward the sky.

We are working to learn more about what may have caused the noise.
