did you know their were 300 small earthquakes associated with Yellowstone's just in March this year.
There’s a town in CT that often has tiny earthquakes. They get loud and or frequent for times then quiet down. Been going on for as long as we’ve been here and before.
It’s an interesting story with the different explanations through the years.

The Wangunk Indians had told the colonists of the fearful noises that they tried to appease. In fact, the Indians called the land around Mt. Tom “Machemoodus,” meaning place of bad noises. The settlers shortened the name to Moodus, now a village in
East Haddam.
The Puritans, of course, thought
their angry God caused the Moodus noises. They first recorded hearing the noises in 1702.
The Indians had a somewhat different take on the noises, wrote Hosmer. An old Indian said the Indian’s god was very angry that the Englishman’s god had come here.
But by the 20th century, scientists from Boston College’s Weston Observatory concluded tiny, shallow earthquakes called
earthquake swarms caused the Moodus noises.

For centuries the strange Moodus noises frightened both the European colonists and Indians in southeastern Connecticut. Today, we know what causes them.

The noises I guess go away for times, people forget, then they come back and some people freak out again.
For hundreds of years, residents of a small New England town have been hearing cracks and roars coming from the earth.

In the 1980’s there was a scientific study that drilled holes in the area. One drilled down 1.5km.
If you want to geek out on it, here’s the report-
