NBC 7 San Diego’s Dagmar Midcap was in Del Mar at the time and described it as a “Sonic ‘rumble'” She tweeted, “according to my contacts at USGS, not seismic but rather sonic.”

On Friday, nevertheless, Tina Stall with the National Weather Service mentioned there was no visible chaff in the location at the time the noise was reported.
The mysterious sound had both residents and specialists scratching their heads. Scripps Institution of Oceanography scientist Kristoffer Walker stated he felt it too, and looked into microphones recorded from MCAS Miramar.
