Abstract
The Time of Noise is one of the most outstanding events in the history of Bogotá. The sonic event occurred on March 9th of 1687. A search in the historical archive of Pontificia Universidad Javeriana led to a document written in 1691, in which the chroniclers described three loud explosions in a period from fifteen to thirty minutes, emitting sounds similar to war machines. In addition to listening to the sonic wave, the chroniclers highlighted a penetrating sulfur odor that polluted the air for several hours.
