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

Dunning trail cave. Strange sound looking for reasonable explanation.

Hardly an expert on natural phenomena and wildlife sounds. The cave is quite wonderful I didn’t want to go inside as it was very swampy and 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.

Wow! Traveled into this wonderful state from the NY NJ metro area and took a trip from flagstaff where we are staying up to monument valley. I am fascinated with the Navajo culture so we had a tour guide show us around this sacred remote area of the valley. I am grateful and honored that they can share this magical place with us. There was something about it that seemed like I was in a waking dream, I can’t explain it. Just blown away. There is a palpable presence to the landscape that I have never experienced anywhere else. Quiet and powerful.

Is this something common that happens before people go missing or before making some kind of contact or other paranormal phenomena? I known before incidents of hi-strangeness people can feel a draw like something unseen is beckoning them into the wild.

I ask because I was in oak creek canyon in Arizona. We stopped over at a viewpoint to look over to the stunning red rocks of Sedona. There were trail heads it was after a rainstorm it was hazy around 530 pm. I felt drawn to the trail it was whimsical and beautiful but as I am following the path I heard a soft bleeping like frequency it was loud in my head like I was tuning into something. Like a radio signal. And I was about to turn around the bend as it gently inclined up the canyon. I stopped and I had a thought that this is not good but the draw was so strong to continue on. it felt like I was being called to the mountains as they were looming above me I could feel their strong lure and presence. But the thought like maybe I’d never return had I rounded this bend was equally as strong. The frequency got louder and then I heard My boyfriend yelling for me and looking for me. It snapped me out of it and I ran towards him and the car. As I left the path the frequency faded untill it was gone.

Has anyone experienced the intense draw when in remote areas accompanied by this sound? I wish I could explain it more it’s like a soft radio wave frequency almost.
