    MILWAUKEE (WISN) — If you heard a weird noise in Milwaukee Wednesday night, you weren’t alone.

People took to social media reporting a jet-like sound echoing through neighborhoods.

On Thursday, We Energies took responsibility.

“Late last night, while taking one of our Valley Power Plant units offline for routine operations, a valve lifted due to excess pressure, causing a loud noise,” a spokesperson told WISN 12 News. “We have isolated the issue. This pressure release did not impact the system, which is working properly. We apologize for the disturbance.”
