A volcano in Tonga exploded so loudly in 2022 that people in Alaska, 6,000 miles away, were woken by the booms. Hawaii, at half that distance, heard nothing at all

The real source was Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai, nearly 10 000 km (6 200 miles) away—even though much closer Hawai‘i reported no audible sound.
