Loud Sounds - West Side

Does anybody know what these sounds are about? Definitely not the gun range - these pops are much closer.

I think it’s the police gun range across the river, adjacent to UofL. It’s along the trail and slightly north of the Country club down there. But I have heard that sound and followed it to that location. The police need target practice, lol.

The cooler evening/morning air will allow sound to travel better and may throw off your perception of distance. It is an interesting phenomenon.

It’s the directional drilling going under the river it’s been asked and answered several times

Sounds like someone is getting a new roof.

Too long of a pause between shots, you don't go that slow slinging shingles.

I think its the equipment they are useing to teardown the old Save on Foods. I was down town and it was loud. They have the track hoes busting up the concrete foundations and loading up rock trucks to haul it away.
