Biblical or coincidence?
Anyone hearing about the Euphrates river drying up and the noises from a certain group of caves?

Drought in the Euphrates' catchment area?
Caves can sometimes emit strange noises, by air or water flow changes inside them, so I'd not think anything odd about that.
Wookey Hole, in SW England, used to be famous for it over the centuries; but changes due to first building a dam across its river outlet for a paper-mill, in the 19C, then massive tunnelling works in the last 30 or 4o years to extend the show-cave by linking chambers formerly accessible only by diving, might have stopped that for good.
The "certain... caves" are?
Any mention of what might be similar events in the Bible are historical co-incidence, simply by being natural. Nothing mystical about it even if the Ancient Hebrew writers thought it so.
