I hike a lot, a whole lot, and today when I went in the woods it was about 15 degrees and it was warming up a little to snow and rain. As I was walking along I heard a "PONG" it wasn't at all like a tree break but the tree either expanding and contracting or whatever (I believe it's sap related). But I stopped to listen and it was doing it all over the place. It was just "ping..... PONG.....pong.....PING" It sounded like someone was playing a giant xylophone and it was either close or very far away. I only had my phone but you can barely hear it, I had it on video and sound recorder. Never heard anything like this.

we like to play music sometimes. I wouldn't worry about it, though.

It was a limb or trunk under tension leaning against another tree. It was slowly shifting and the sound it made was when it would slip a short distance.

When I listened back to it on the "sound recorder" recording I made I had the volume on mute, never use sound recorder. You can clearly hear the pings up close and at a distance. It wasn't just one tree. It's one of those things were you had to be there. Since I'm in the Pacific Northwest I was also wondering if this happens to people when it gets cold that have maple trees.

Not op but I've camped in beech forests that crack and groan because of this, what he is describing sounds different
