Mysterious sound distracts Harris-Pence debate viewers
‘That sneeze in the audience should’ve set off a stampede,’ one viewer noted
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A mysterious sound distracted some viewers during Wednesday’s vice presidential debate between Mike Pence and Sen. Kamala Harris and many took to Twitter with theories ranging from an echoing cough to a barking dog.
The sound began when Harris was detailing her work as California Attorney General and how she implemented body cameras for police officers. The muffled noise occurred several times and didn’t appear to be exactly the same each time it occurred.

While that explanation is probably more realistic than a barking dog getting into the debate, viewers took to Twitter to offer their theories on the odd distraction.
