I have never experienced this at Waylands, But i have experienced a 'kaboom!' every now and then whilst relaxing on the downs about 3 miles away. It baffled me for ages. I then experienced it at Liddington Castle much more strongly.

It seemed to be the Lorries (the big ones!) on the M4 (close) going over a bridge and the vibration and boom sound that accompanied was felt very strongly.

Quite recently I was in the area near Marden, and we could hear the guns / bombs going off on Salisbury Plain. Quite a horrible sound, it freaked me out really. I guess the low frequency sounds travel a long way.
not that I'm saying anyone else's experience is military. Specially in the undulating landscapes round the ridgeway I wonder whether the wind over the landscape could do weird wavy things.

(it's interesting to see this old thread - I guess you picked it up directly from the Wayland's Smith page, wysefool? cos that's why it's quite old. in case you wondered.)
