From ghostly wailing around construction sites to mysterious sounds from under the sea we
look 8 Strange Sounds No One Can Explain
8.
1 World Trade Centre • A lot of strange sounds are connected
to ghosts which is what I’m sure a lot people believe are making this one.
• That high pitched wailing sound has been heard multiple times around the One World
Trade Center building.
The sound was first heard while the tower was still under construction…and a hurricane
was going on as well so surely that was the reason.
• But the strange noise has persisted.
Occasionally waking near-by residents.
Witnesses also claim the sound changes in tone from time to time.
7.
Upsweep • This creepy sound from under the sea has
been unexplained for 25 years.
• The Upsweep goes a little bit like this (INSERT) a consistent upsweeping noise that
happens in pulses.
The sound was first picked up in 1991 and has been going ever since, only slightly changing
in intensity during different seasons.
• Researchers have been unable to identify the exact location of the sound but have placed
its origin somewhere near the halfway point between Australia and South America.
6.
Colossi of Memnon • Unfortunately there’s no way to hear
this mystery sound unless you can build a time machine.
• The legend of the vocal Memnon started around 27 BC after an earthquake fractured
two stone statues of Pharaoh Amenhotep III.
After that a sound of singing or like “the strings of a lyre” could be heard around
the site, normally within 1 hour before sunrise.
• That was until around 196 AD when the sound suddenly stopped.
Remodeling of the statue coincided with this.
There are many theories on what made the sound but as we can’t test it in modern day, it’s
a tough one to fully explain.
5.
Julia • This strange sound from the murky depths
of the Pacific Ocean has been leading people to believe in undersea monsters for years.
• Julia was recorded in 1999, heard by every sensor in the Equatorial Pacific Ocean hydrophone
array.
So yeah that means it was goddamn loud.
Experts were quick to blame the noise on icebergs like they always do with undersea noises.
• But the sheer strength of the signal started to cast some doubts with many in the field
leading to some postulations that it was actually the cry of an underwater creature.
A creature much larger than the Blue Whale that we have yet to stumble upon… and its
name will be Julia…
4.
Seneca Guns • Turns out moving to be near the sea side
isn’t as peaceful as it may appear.
• These loud booming noises that sound like cannon fire are called Seneca Guns.
Originally they were heard on the shore of Lake Seneca in New York State but have since
been heard off the coasts of North & South Carolina and Virginia.
• Some have likened the strange noises to sonic booms prompting the explanation of military
aircraft being the cause.
But no Air Force planes have been reported flying at the time of the hearings.
This has led to theorists blaming meteors causing the sonic booms before disintegrating.
3.
Uminari • Often classified as the same phenomenon
as Seneca Guns, Uminari is Japan’s mystery sound.
• Uminari translates to “cries of the sea” which is the word used to describe
a low frequency roar that can range between a slight hum and or the cannon like sounds
of Seneca Guns.
Often times it’s believed that Uminari is loudest before a tsunami.
• Again there are a lot of theories on what causes the noise but nothing that has been
proven.
Interestingly enough of the explanations for Seneca Guns is that they are caused by earthquakes
and quakes also cause tsunamis so maybe there just might be a link.
2.
The Howl • Again we have another random creepy sound
that just loudly rings out in the sky, sounding like some Godzilla like creature has just
awoken.
• The Howl isn’t a very specific sound, it seems to be fairly recent but you might
have seen a few viral videos claiming it was the trumpets sounding the apocalypse or something.
• Some have likened the sounds to rocket fire or even music but it just sounds like
some scary roars really.
Most believe that this possibly gas being expelled from underground.
Yeah those scary doomsday noises are just the planet farting.
1.
The Hum • Imagine one day you start hearing a noise
that no one else can hear…and it doesn’t stop…it just keeps going all the time…slowly
driving you INSANE!
• Sounds like the plot to an X-Files episode right?
Well it was but that episode was based on a true phenomenon.
The Hum.
A sound that can only be heard by certain people living in specific areas.
Described as much like an idling diesel engine, the sound seems to drive people a little crazy.
It’s even resulted in a suicide.
• The hum affects about 2% of the population in the areas it pops up.
It’s been reported worldwide but has serious concentrations
in Taos, New Mexico and Bristol.
