Mysterious Rumble Accompanies Delhi's 4.0 Magnitude Quake

A 4.0 magnitude earthquake struck Delhi at 5:36 AM today, accompanied by a distinctive rumbling sound that puzzled residents. The tremors, felt across the National Capital Region, originated from a shallow depth of 5 km near Dhaula Kuan. Experts explain that the rumbling noise is characteristic of shallow-focus earthquakes. As the ground vibrates, it creates short-period seismic waves that convert into audible sound waves. The earthquake's shallow depth amplified both the tremors and the sound, making it more noticeable to residents. No casualties or significant damage have been reported, but authorities are monitoring for potential aftershocks.
