The booms mostly occur on summer nights and have been described as \"house-shakingly loud\" and low-pitched, distinct from a car crash or gunshot.\n\nIn 2010, the Minneapolis Police Department's Third Precinct said that while fireworks and exploding electrical transformers could account for half the noises, \"the rest were unexplained.\" — Read the rest \n\nThe post Minneapolis has been hearing unexplained booms for decades and nobody can figure out why appeared first on Boing Boing.",
