A 2.8 magnitude earthquake struck the West Midlands on Monday night, the British Geological Survey (BGS) said.
The BGS said the quake hit Walsall, near Birmingham, at a depth of 7km (4.35 miles) at 10.59pm.
The effects of the earthquake were felt in a 20km (12.4 miles) radius from its epicentre, with tremors also detected by residents in Birmingham, Wolverhampton and Dudley.
People told the BGS that it shook their homes and one person said it "was like a wardrobe had fallen over or an explosion blast against the window".
The BGS said the quake was approximately 13km (eight miles) east of the magnitude 4.7 Dudley earthquake, which was felt over most of England when it struck on 22 September 2002.
