Default Unsolved sounds of the ocean

So I was reading cracked as per usual, and today's list is http://www.cracked.com/article_16871...t-explain.html

So #1 was the "bloop" an unknown sound that was picked up by microphones in ocean 3,000 miles apart. NOAA sped up the recording, and it sounds like something being "dropped" into water.

After listening to it, I noticed there were about 5 more sounds that have been recorded that are unknown.

http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/vents/acous...s_mystery.html

"Julia" and "Train" are probably the strangest.

Thought I would share and add a little "WTF?" to everyone's day.

I can only add that cracked is a daily must-visit.

I enjoyed this part about the giant stone balls of costa rica:

They have been chiseled to perfection by persons unknown, despite the fact that Costa Rica is still not scheduled to enter the Bronze Age until 2013.
As for the sound ... interesting stuff. Am I the only one that would like to know what Kerplunk has to say about this?

There was some U.S. Navy guys claiming to have seen some flat football field sized discs simultainiously coming in and out of the ocean.

I am not even sure what I posted came from the ocean, but I thought I remember hearing on Coast to Coast that they had "sounds from hell" that were apparently taped from the bottom of the ocean.

For what it's worth, the video I posted has the sounds, but they sound like a bunch of people screaming at a shopping mall or something. If it didn't bring up that they were voices from hell, it's not as if I would've ever thought that.

Oh it's quite real, I assure you. Billions of people are living in a lake of fire deep under Siberia. It's all been covered up by the liberal media of course.

If I've learned anything in the 20 years in my life, it's that people lie.

The sound on that youtube clip is not disturbing. It sounds like some terrible quality recording of wind or something with some guy talking, that ends up supposedly sounding like screams and yelling and junk.

Frankly I think man-made terrors such as the holocaust are a million times more frightening and disturbing than anything our imaginations can come up with. At least paranormality can be justified (ie if it were to exist) under things inhuman, and that we can't empathize and imagine one of us horribly damaging the fabric of humanity of one or multiple beings.

It sounded to me like a bad recording of a bar where a huge fight broke out or something, but I had to check into this a little more. It seems that the author of the link I posted did do some decent background checks on it and it definitely looks to be completely fake. Still an interesting read.

Well obviously it is fake, lol. I just posted it because it sort of fit with the theme of the thread. I didn't mean to derail things for the original poster this bad!

I for one was fully expecting it to end in a Ric Roll, and was actually disappointed when it didn't

Yeah, so back on topic, the "bloop" is pretty cool. Had it only been recorded on one, nothing would be interesting about it at all, but to be recorded simultaneously 3000 miles apart is pretty crazy.

Actually, all 6 of the "Insane Discoveries that Science Can't Explain" are pretty amazing and really make you think.

agreed. love the top X lists...

anyway, back on topic - it sounds like a normal old bloop, but i cant imagine that 2 microphones that far apart picked it up! maybe some sort of seismic anomoly?

Sounds travel a looooong way under water since water isn't compressible. Whale songs are said to be perceptible to whales half way around the world!

Maybe the bloop was exactly what it sounded like; something big falling into the ocean, maybe a meteorite?
