Why is an earthquake accompained by noise?

An earthquake is accompanied by noise primarily due to the rapid movement of tectonic plates, which generates seismic waves that travel through the Earth. As these waves propagate, they cause the ground to shake and create friction, leading to the release of energy in the form of sound waves. Additionally, the cracking and breaking of rocks during the quake contribute to the audible noise. This combination of seismic activity and structural failure produces the rumbling and roaring sounds often associated with earthquakes.
