The atmosphere is not the same everywhere. We know there are holes. We also know that it is possible for electrons to make sound.
Found this which is also interesting. I think even the booms people are hearing are connected.
Lets say that the atmosphere is "lifting" along with the "quarantine" LoL!

Some of you may or may not remember the comic strip Flash Gordon or even the 1980 film when Ming the Merciless uses meteors to attack the Earth. Those meteors make a sound, right? So meteors you see in the sky make a sound too. No that’s Hollywood. So this article ends here, right? Well not exactly, there is an argument that meteors do make sounds. I remember when I was about 8 years old, I saw a fireball that crept across the sky for about 30 seconds and I heard a humming noise, only to be told that meteors don’t compose sounds. I could have sworn I heard something. Roughly a lifetime later (30+ Years) I have learned that my mind and my ears may not have deceived me. Reports of clamoring meteors have been reported in the Bible and the origins of these sounds have been unknown until recently.
Large Fireballs can create a sonic boom that wouldn’t be heard until many seconds later and definitely after the meteor has disappeared. But what about buzzing, crinkling or crackling noises? When a meteor wallops the Earth’s atmosphere, it ionizes the air around it and creates a glowing trail of plasma. As the plasma cools, the electrons and ions create a vibration. They are called VLF vibrations and they are capable of transmitting electromagnetic waves over hundreds and hundreds of kilometers. These “sounds” aren’t necessarily heard by human ears but can vibrate objects like wires, aluminum objects, or something close to you. This is a form of low frequency radiation that travels much faster than the speed of sound and actually at the speed of light. During certain meteor showers, some people have reported hearing distant FM radio stations broadcast over a pocket radio.
So we can surmise that, Yes – Meteors Do Make a Sound! I will be researching this topic and including more about this next month, your comments and input are always welcome and by the way the November Leonids are notorious for making mysterious noises.
