Strange sounds...

[semen4her]

Anyone see any of the videos about those 'strange sounds' heard around the world? There seem to be quite a few of them.

If you are smart please tell me ; what the fuck is up with that?

I read somewhere that it is a rare phenomenon that has to do with winds, but ...?

I am not smart, but I do dabble in the sound-related arts, including those that involve the processing and manipulating of sounds.

What's up is you're being fucked with.

what would you listen to, if you just wanted to listen to the sound of the street for a while?

That's my initial feeling.

If it's a hoax it has definitely gotten a lot of attention.

My guess would be the street.

I'm not sure I understand your question, Neci Please Please Me, but I want to.

In some cases, you're hearing actual ambient events that only seem to take on extra meaning when they're strung together with other sounds in a video about strange noises. In others, you're hearing processed sound layered onto a regular video (like the forest scene). In others, you're hearing one set of "real" sounds layered onto another situation.

I heard digital delay used on one sound when a close-mic had none; I heard different types of mics and depths of field in the same 'scene,' I heard city sounds with no reflections off buildings, etc.

Sound behaves predictably. Altered sound is identifiable too. So is clumsy foleying.

driving with the window down
or sitting window open
the sound of noisy quiet

if you could play a song that somehow matched it,
what would it sound like?

The processing of the audio and video being copied/ reformatted could account for the digital delays, could it not?

Sure, but indiscriminately: it would not choose only the spooky conspiracy sound to affect and leave the rest untouched.

HOWEVER: What I'm hearing is not digital artifacts or aliasing or the like. I'm hearing, literally, the application of digital reverb to a processed sound.

I'm going to be at my desk in a bit. I'll do two things. One is I'll download someone's vacation YouTube and make a spooky conspiracy video from it. And the other is I'll going to speed up those forest sounds and see what it really is. If it's taken from a real sample, I'll post it at a few different speeds so you (we) can hear how it was made.

 

[semen4her]

Sounds like a plan to me.

 

[Johnny_Ray_Wilson]

Damn amplifiers! I was told this sort of thing could happen on feedback, but this is freaking ridiculous. All I did was transfer 8-tracks to digital. And the windows were closed!

NOAA has a list of 6 "significant unexplained sounds" from the deep.

This is one. Bloop http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloop

There are links within the article to the other 5.

And who are you to be so wise in the way of the bloop?

Actually, this does not come as a surprise to me. Sounds emitting in water, particularly oceans, are unpredictable when traveling. They can either stop short a few feet or travel hundreds of miles. Hydrophone arrays, even when working absolutely to perfection, are not always easy to decipher when it comes to recordings.

Strictly based upon my own experience onboard submarines, the usage of hydrophones on a sub is based upon the usage of an echo to listen/record underwater sounds. I am saying this based soley upon my own experience, over 20 yrs ago. I vaguely recall overhearing Sonar Techs and Radio operators deferring unidentified sounds/recordings to NOAA at that time.

"Yeah, I was just out filming, well, nothing really, when I heard these weird arse sounds, I didn't bother whipping the camera around to try and locate them or anything, or even bother exclaiming "What the fuck are those weird arse sounds." because, well I just knew they were special and certainly didn't want to get my voice on something that was bound to be earth shatteringly awesome."


Hope the movie is as good as the promo.

Ok, made you a movie. Took about 4 minutes. Give me a second to figure out who the hell I posted on youtube as last time.

After I upload, I'll check out the sound in the forest.

Work some magic for us Sonny. I hear weird stuff all the time. It would be nice to know I am not the only one.

 

[Sonny Limatina]

OK, here you go. I took some dweeb's vacation video and dropped in a mystery sound. The flashing lights at the end were just happy coincidence.

The mystery sound was the cat squeal from my post-your-voice thing earlier, slowed way down and convolution-reverbed.

That's me at the end asking what the fuck was that, and answering myself.

Good work! As I was watching you link with abated breath, the taxicab scene from Armageddon came to mind.

The strange sounds in the forest is just a sound-clip of a large crowd--like at a sporting event, or (believe it or not) church--slowed way down (like I did with the cat squeal).

If you speed it up, you can literally hear the clip "turn on" and "turn off" as the ambience changes from the close mic of the field recorder to the distance sounds of that crowd bite.

I hear crickets.
