Strange sounds in Lewes!

Anybody around Malling Hill or Earwig Corner allotments have any idea of that weird noise from around there??
Sounds a bit like canvas ripping or a crackle of lightning (which it clearly isn't!!) but been going on for past couple of days. Happened last year too.....
Very loud as we can hear it 1/2 mile or so away.

Fracking ?

It's from Balcombe probably. There's a lot of secret fracking work that's been going on with the oil companies not telling us what's happening although they say they're only testing the ground. The area turned unstable, radioactive and poisonous by fracking is far, far greater than anyone on the side of the oil company will ever admit to. Go and join the next protest or check out the carcinogens being pumped into the water under Lewes by reading the Frack Free Sussex campaign page.

Ffs. Conspiracy berks everywhere. Were you standing by a pylon by any chance? The one on Malling Down makes a crackling noise.

The electric station at the top of Mill Road has been making quite a noise recently. Also, the old chalk pit is used as a firing range and they were there today, so possibly that?

Can't you follow the sound until you get to the source?

I live up by the prison crossroads and it may be a different sound but I keep waking up in the middle of the night and hearing what sounds like digging far away or perhaps a spaceship landing or taking off.
It's been happening for a few weeks now on and off.
Has anyone else up this end of town heard this?
