The bamboos here sometime all have popping sessions at the same time.
It can happen without wind and at day or night, cool or warm. Bamboos
on several nearby hilltops start making popping sounds. Could it be
changes in humidity? Happens a few times a year.

Here, bamboo makes a *really loud* popping sound when you set fire to
it. ;-)
