Barisal gives its name to a curious natural phenomenon known as Barisal guns, thundering noises heard in the delta and apparently coming from the sea. 

The sounds have not been satisfactorily explained but may have a seismic origin. (4 years in Barisal, Never heard of it, probably of encyclopedic origin :) ). Population of the area is 180,014 ( 1991).
