The Terrace BC sounds were caused by industrial machinery. Confirmed by local news.
The phenomena of strange sounds is real though in most cases and extremely intriguing.
Thanks for that - it's exactly what it sounded like to me (hence my link). Glad to see a logical explanation for it.
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."

A link to the story explaining the noise:
City officials offer explanation for noise
On Friday afternoon city spokesperson Alisa Thompson said she had a simpler explanation — it was a city worker grinding down the blade on a grader.
"The grader blade needed to be straightened. Kind of gets ground down, and it makes a very strange noise. It's as simple as that," said Thompson.
"The video, the YouTube video, is actually right around the corner from the arena, and that's where our employee was doing the straightening."
Thompson said the city will try to replicate the sound and prove it was the grader this afternoon, although she admits she likes the more creative explanations better.

Here is a quote from another thread I posted about the City in Canada recently.

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 originally.
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.

. Nothing I have ever heard in my life sounded like that. It was like the sound was coming straight into my brain, not into my ears. I couldn't tell a direction it was coming from except up..
This is a very interesting comment, in fact, one of the most interesting on this thread and about this particular subject because I have heard similar comments from other people that have experienced the sounds.

This video has a man debunking the phenomena as an ongoing hoax, and while it does seem to explain a few of them, what about the ones that were heard by multiple people?

Never seen a UFO, never seen a ghost, have never seen Bigfoot, but I did hear these sounds in the Midwest last year. Sounded like a metallic banging sound. Stopped me in my tracks. I don't think they are supernatural, I buy the theory that they are caused by solar wind or earth moving through a cosmic cloud or something like that.

While it might not be coldstone debunked, it's a reasonable explanation for the videos he referenced.
What about railroads or something underground? Subharmonic vibrations accompanying the audible ones would help explain why it felt like it was heard inside the head more than outside. It would also add to the impression the sound was from 'everywhere'.
