was it hissy like static/ and or fizzling sparkler?

It sounded like high pitched wooosh noise but with a fizzling Sparkler sound. (if that makes any sense)

The flash was about a second before the noise. (I think there was a flash, can't be 100% sure but I remember something, then the noise)
And the noise was about half a second loud and about 1 - 1.5 seconds faded.
Also, there are no jets, military or otherwise anywhere near here, and from growing up around Military Aircraft and a stint in the Air Force myself, I know it wasn't an aircraft.
