Need help identifying strange sound in the woods
Hey everyone. Female in her 30s I love hiking solo but I am
Hardly an expert on natural phenomena and wildlife sounds. The middle of the trail of a state park there was a wonderful cave it was huge and beautiful. I didn’t want to go inside as it was very swampy the water had rust and traces of iron magnetite as it is extremely prevalent in the area. I didn’t know if anything was living inside but I did want to see if I could see a little more of the caves scale. So I skirted the outside to see if I could see the parts obscured by rock and I suddenly heard what sounded like a motor of a dirt bike or like a weed wacker or lawn mower“BRAAAAAAAP” and I scooted back to the trail and it stopped as soon as I stepped away from the entrance to the cave. And as I scurried up the trail away from the cave I heard two more “Braaaaap Braaaap” and then Notning. I looked around thought maybe a dirt biker nope no one just me. It only was loudest when I got close to the entrance and the way it immediately stopped was strange to me. I can’t think of any other explanation but like I said I lingered on the trail with the cave still in view to see if I could hear it again or any signs of another human. Nope. Even if it was a dirt bike the way it stopped was not natural to the way an engine would stop.
Anyways just thought I’d share and see if maybe this was some cave phenomena I just don’t know about or if anyone else has heard phantom engines. Lol
