Hydromet, given it was seen over a very wide area would mean it was high. Probably something like 100km up. The sound would take around 5 minutes to reach the ground. One possibility is the plasma trail produced by the meteor/space junk can emit radio waves which can induce vibrations in objects on the ground so you may have heard that. Of course it might just have been a totally unrelated sound.
