Unnerved residents of Tampa Bay, Florida, are scrambling to explain mysterious rolling bass tones that vibrate their walls at night and rob their kids of sleep.

Frantic theories have run the gamut — from secret overnight operations at a nearby military base to a code-violating nightclub or even incoming alien squadrons.

But a scientist from the region believes he knows the source of the confounding racket: frisky fish.

That is something you'll hear from a Volvo 740 racing down the street in the middle of the night.

There's actually a documentary about this that I watched a few years back. They played recordings of the noises too. So strange.

They sound like the Endermen from Minecraft
