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.

 Greetings,

 I've heard sound coming from a meteor at the same time it became
visible. I always attributed it to low frequency radio waves having
seen and heard at the same time.

 Best!
