Believe it or not, up to you.....
Huff Post
Wookey recorded the bizarre moaning noises from her living room and then posted them online, where she saw other reports of people who'd heard similar noises. One resident thought someone was dragging a dumpster and the lack of wind that day allowed the sound to carry through the valley. However, Wookey's video appears to show a quite a bit of wind.
Some claim her video is fake, and that the sounds were taken from this scene in the 2011 horror movie "Red State."
The local police aren't sure where the sounds came from.

On page one we have people saying that there would be other recordings but there aren't. How do you know there are no other recordings? First of all its a small town. You're not going to have thousands of people recording. Also, when I see a UFO or experience anything crazy, the LAST thing I think of is to immediately get a recording device. First of all, I'm immersed in this fantastic experience, so why look away for even a brief moment when something like this will probably never happen to you again and it could all be over by the time you get set up to record. Yeah, lots of people have phones, but not many people are very proficient or fast with their phones. Almost everyone around me is amazed at how fast I type on mine. The two people I live with usually need my help for something like using their phone to take a picture or record a video. In fact, usually they just make me do it because they just get frustrated. One of these people is a little older like 40, but the other is 23 and grew up with cell phones and computers. So, just because someone isn't old doesnt make them a techno wizard...
Furthermore, even if someone did record it, that doesn't mean they have a YouTube account or know how YouTube works! It also doesn't even mean they WANT to share it with you!!! What, so they can get made fun of by your supposedly "superior" "advanced" "intellect"?? No thanks... That's the other reason I won't bother with recording equipment on the fly when I see a ghost or a sasquatch or alien... There's no point. No matter how good the pic is, it still proves nothing. The best you could hope for is for people to say "its a pretty good hoax, but a hoax nonetheless...". Again, no thank you.
People always assume they know what other people would do in any situation. You don't. Some people would start praying out loud and not stop until it was over. Some would run and hide...etc etc etc... So using your assumptions to come to any meaningful conclusion isn't really helpful. I could say "well since the whole town didn't commit suicide, it must be fake, cause if that happened to me I would be so scared, I would commit suicide!" And that would make as much sense as saying that there MUST be other recordings out there. (and like I said, even if those recordings exist, what makes you think you will see them? Instantly within days of the event at that?

Personally, I think its the new crop signs hoax. What I mean is that we have seen very elaborate crop signs made, obviously by hoaxters. Now it seems that loud horn like sounds are the new age of hoaxes. Someone earlier said that one of videos sounded like the Reapers from Mass Effect 3 and in fact it does. Also sounds like the waterphone.
It wouldn't be hard to dub something like that into a video. I'm a very open minded person, I truly believe in extraterrestrials, etc, but these sounds seem to be hoaxes. Like numerous ppl have stated, I think if something that loud was heard, ppl would be outside trying to figure what they are hearing.
While theories abound, city rep Alisa Thompson explained that the mystery sounds were a city worker grinding a blade on a grader. "The grader blade needed to be straightened … and it makes a very strange noise. It's as simple as that." Thompson did admit it sounded "like some kind of epic battle between a Kermode (bear) and (a) UFO, with Sasquatch and maybe a whale thrown in there. That would be great for local tourism."

The city was asked to reproduce the same sound, and was even offered money to do it, but everyone at city hall went silent because they did not produce the sound.
And when a grader blade is bent, you unbend it because no amount of grinding will straighten a bent blade.
that's like a doctor saying he will shave off a few layers of your broken arm to straighten it.
Let's use a bit of common sense here.

Give it a break! If the noise was caused by a grader scraping on pavement. The operator should be looking for another job. Those blades are not cheap, and not design or built to scrape pavement. I have seen graders used to clear overgrowth from the edge of pavement. The noise is not even similar.
As to noises seemingly recorded with the noise. Just like your eyes, your ears can be selective or perceive what you want and filter out what scares you.
