As it turns out, the Orionid meteor shower was just about at its peak in the skies over Massachusetts at that point. Given the average velocity of these particular meteors (66 km/s), [Avi] figures the source of the sound was a space rock of about a meter in diameter meeting its fiery end.

There's something extremely satisfying to me about finding the source of a noise and I love how this one was recorded and analysed. See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unexplained_sounds, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hum, and https://xkcd.com/1590/
