Fireworks at 3:30am?

3:30am noise heard
If you live on the northern side of Media, you may have heard what sounded like fireworks at 3:30am Saturday morning.  It was a LOUD pop, followed a few seconds later with three other pops.  It was disturbing enough to wake people up from Sixth Street, on over to N. Olive and perhaps beyond. Some have questioned, including me whether they could have been gunshots.  Being it nearly impossible to distinguish the difference in most cases between the two, it's inconclusive at this point.

Apparently, this isn't the first time of complaints regarding these off hour noises.  A few weeks back another incident was brought to my attention regarding a similar matter. If you also heard last night's disturbance, please leave a comment.   I'll also raise the issue with the Media Police Department this am.

  3. I heard two different sounds last night at approximately 3:18 I heard what sounded like three shotgun blasts in rapid succession. At 4:35 I heard what sounded like a pack of small firecrackers. Since I was in bed it was difficult to determine there location.

  5. I heard them as well and we are at the very top of the borough on Providence. The noise around 8PM on Saturday appeared to be someone setting off firecrackers in the Generations parking lot. To me, the noises the night before were different.
