The sounds have been heard for about a week.

Local resident Danielle McManus and her family were among the witnesses to come forward.

"We were, like, looking at each other like, ‘What was that?'" she told CBS News. "If we didn't know any better, it almost sounds like a cannon. It was so deep and just like, echoey."

Fair Lawn police have been searching the area for clues but have so far come up empty.
