CHICAGO, Illinois Brittany Catanzaro was sitting on the patio of her North Beverly home over Memorial Day weekend when she heard a loud sound. Catanzaro compared the sound to a “big metal dumpster” falling from the sky. “It’s almost like someone dropped that from 10 feet in the air.” The loud booms have been reported across Beverly & Morgan Park. Neighbors have reported houses shaking & rattling windows, with the mystery noise so loud it’s woken people at night. The sound has been reported for months, with no concrete explanation yet found by neighbors, community leaders & city officials. Adrienne Gibbs said the booms have become a frequent occurrence over the past few months. She has found chipped bricks around her 100-year-old Beverly home during this time.  “It’s literally terrifying, & then you wake up and your house is shaking like someone dropped a bomb.” https://blockclubchicago.org/2026/06/09/loud-booms-have-rattled-beverly-residents-for-weeks-but-no-one-can-figure-out-whats-causing-them/
