It seems that the surveillance camera was not recording sounds.

A translation from one of the related news sites (http://www.guncelurfa.com/haber/2552/sanliurfaya-dusen-goktasi-korkuttu.html dated May 6, 2016):

A meteorite that fell to Şanlıurfa caused fear

The source of the explosion and the flash in the sky that occurred last night in Şanlıurfa has finally been identified. A great explosion had been heard in Şanlıurfa last night at 00:22 a.m. It was determined that the explosion was caused by a meteor.

Also heard in various counties of the city, a ground shake was experienced in connection with the sonic boom. Possessed by fear and panic, citizens called the police assistance line 155 to report the situation. Police teams could not identify the source in their investigation and it was stated that the explosion might have been caused by a natural phenomenon. In the video record of a workplace security camera, the flash of light created by the meteor is clearly seen. So the event was entered as a natural event in security records.

Thank you for moving my entry here, I didn't notice that my friend Scyth already shared a message about the event :)

By the way, another news site (_http://www.sanliurfa.com/bu-goruntuler-de-suruc-tan-geldi/1671564586/) shared another footage that was taken from one of the counties of the city, which shows a reflection of the explosion on the ground.

The same news site also provided a news report about an explanation by the Governor of the City, to the effect that it was really a meteor and not a missile attack, because another close border city of Turkey, Kilis, has been suffering missile attacks by the "Islamic State" for sometime now.
