Eerie noises on northbound M-53 in Macomb County have puzzled drivers, leading some to believe there is an issue with the road or their vehicles. However, the sounds are linked to a recent repaving of the road. The Michigan Department of Transportation confirmed that the strange noises are caused by ridges formed during asphalt paving. These sounds have been described as resembling music, ocean waves, or even alien encounters. Officials stated there is no problem with the road and advised drivers to avoid pulling over unless necessary. The noises are expected to fade as traffic and winter weather wear down the ridges.
