Strange Noise Phenomenon

#1  Postby Passer » Jan 18, 2012 9:42 am

I'm not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, if it is, feel free to delete.

Apparently, people are hearing weird nosies all over the world. Some are saying it's the trumpets mentioned in the book of Revelation. Some are saying it's a hoax, others, undergrond construction.

Here are a few vids on the subject:

Mexico
You'll have to excuse the 'dramatic' intro music.

Basebell Game
Particularly interesting as it's heard at a sports event and commented on.

Alberta

Even stranger... I posted a reply to this when I got home... and now it's gone! And I can't find that post anywhere!

Well, the first thing is that none of the sounds are the same. So let's not use UFO proponent methods to simply clump them all together as a single phenomenon.

The baseball game sounds like wind to me.
The forest, no idea, maybe a lumber factory?
Mexico, construction?

The only issue I have with the baseball game, is if it was wind, people would have heard it before, probably. Yet the commentators were both perplexed by it. One of them even suggested it sounded 'supernatural'.

The baseball event sounds like the wind and the one in Alberta sounds like heavy cutting machinary in the distance. I heard electrical wood saws and planes make the same noise.

I don't see how that follows. A wind blowing from a particular direction with a particular strength hasn't necessarily been blowing while cameras have been rolling before.

As for the supernatural comment, I can leave my balcony door open a crack and get a very ghostly sound. It's more that films have employed these sounds, and they have become 'supernatural sounding', I think.

When Wikipedia is up tomorrow, look it up there; I think they have links to audio files.

More strange sounds.. no laughing matter :)
The Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry wants to collect audio recordings of the purported strange noises in the sky heard by residents of Kota Samarahan, Sarawak.

In a Sinar Harian report, Deputy Minister Datuk Fadillah Yusuf said the ministry was collecting as much "evidence" as possible on the bizarre happening so it could submit its report to the National Space Agency (Angkasa) for further investigation.

"This incident is no laughing matter. We hope those who have audio or video recordings of the noises can come forward so we can investigate," said Fadillah, adding that any evidence can be sent to the Petrajaya parliamentary service centre in Jalan Astana, Kuching.

Residents of Kota Samarahan claimed to have heard noises resembling "loud snorings" in the wee hours of Jan 11 and Jan 12, triggering speculations and apocalyptic theories among the fascinated.

Well, I don´t know what to say about this, but I think some of the videos has something to do with magnetic noise of some kind, but I can´t be sure. I know there are some faked videos, for example the one from Hungary, which for me sounds like an electric guitar with spring reverb. There are others I think is very interesting. I found this source with over 40 videos about the strange noise phenomenon
