I too have heard a buzzing sound while a bright bolide (Vmag~-13) fell during
the 2001 Leonid shower on the summit of Maunakea. I’ve thought they were
electrophonic sound.
From Wikipedia:
Sometimes, after a meteor shower, people report hearing the meteors. Some
exceptionally bright meteors have been reported as being accompanied by a low
hissing sound – like bacon sizzling. These sounds are believed to be generated
by very low frequency radio waves interacting with the local environment.
The 2001 Leonids produced numerous electrophonic sounds, according to a report
by NASA.
The GEFS (Global Electrophonic Fireball Survey) is a project of the University
of Kentucky and Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) with the
purpose of collecting witness reports of electrophonic sounds from meteors and
coordinating research efforts. They have collected over 100 reports of such
phenomena.
