On February 17, 2025, a magnitude 4.0 earthquake struck Delhi at 5:36 AM, with its epicenter just five kilometers beneath the city. Residents reported hearing rumbling sounds during the tremor. Experts suggest that shallow earthquakes can produce audible noises due to seismic waves interacting with the Earth's surface. The Delhi earthquake's proximity to the surface likely intensified the vibrations, making the rumbling sounds more noticeable. Prime Minister Narendra Modi acknowledged the event, urging residents to remain calm and stay alert for potential aftershocks.
