The ones that sound possibly real could very well be random distortions of wind whistling through things, cars with flat tires, or car stereos going in and out. I'm a seismic analyst. For the earth to make a loud sound like that, extensive ground motion would accompany it. I see volcanic eruptions and icequakes in my day-to-day work; when the Earth is audibly groaning, ground movement happens as well. This means that people hearing these sounds would also have the floor shaking under their feet, or enough people in the area would feel shaking for the ground motion (not just the sound) to make the local news. I've also been in several earthquakes and have heard the noises that can accompany them, and they sound nothing like the noises in these clips. These sounds most likely originate from human activity, and have been warped unpredictably in the environment until they are unrecognizable..." |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 6313471 United States 01/19/2012 05:45 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Another from the link: "As a petroleum engineer, I can say that I have heard the sound that is in Virginia many times. That is the noise associated with blowing off the pressure on the casing or a separator on a O&G well, or the sound of blowing off the pressure in a pipeline. This is pretty common and would be unusual if you live nearby and never heard it. Since they are in Virginia, I would suspect a pipeline repair. If they ran a caliper (pig as we call it the industry), and noticed a piece of pipe with an lower internal diameter, then it needs to be replaced for not only safety reasons, but also it effect the volumetric calculations. So lets say that the joint you need to replace is joint number two, you will close the connection between joint #0 & #1, and the connection between joint #3 and #4. So now no gas is moving between joints #1, #2, or #3. Now we have to bleed off the pressure and gas trapped in these three joints. Once it is bled off, replace joint #2, and slowly open passage between joint #0 and #1, and lastly open joint #3/#4 once we are sure the pipeline is holding pressure." |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 6313471 United States 01/19/2012 06:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "...Dunno if anyone will read this as I'm more a lurker than a poster but (takes deep breath...) I'm a post production dubbing mixer/sound designer. The "weird" sounds in these videos have a different quality to the ambient sound. This means they have been recorded on a different mic to the one used on the video camera or whatever, and are therefore added. In one of the vids the ambient sound is mono and the "alien" noise is stereo, so it has not even been done well. Also, I think I recognise some of the sound effects used, probably from the Hollywood Edge library as bloody everyone uses it. It's either viral, or just some people faking stuff to get noticed..." |

soulsurvivor User ID: 9131686 United States 01/19/2012 07:33 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Redditer debunks strange sounds: Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8486686 "So, I looked at these videos from an audio-guys standpoint, and most of them seem pretty fishy. I downloaded the videos, extracted the sound and analysed it using super secret pro audio toolz (Audacity): Manitoba: This one is pretty ridiculous. The sounds don't even sound like they where recorded with the rest of the audio. They even have a bit of digital delay added, which makes this even more obvious. Listen to the last part, after 41 seconds. The sounds simply don't fit in. A cityscape like this would have very spread out/distant reflections. So, lots and lots of subtle reverb. Listen to the hammer tapping. Also, the sounds are too clean. You could never get a sound this clean with a camera mic. Especially on the low end. It's just too good. Ohh, and if you speed them up they sound exactly like when you scrape metal stuff with a violin bow. Add some digital reverb and delay, and you got it. Dawson Creek:Speed it up, and its just some animal noises (sounds like a fucking safari). Boring. Also, a slowed down crash cymbal at 42 seconds. WTF? This was clearly added in post (well no shit), since it's frequencies reach up beyond 10khz, and the camera recording already stops at 5.5 khz. And again, knowing how bad camera mics are at picking up low frequencies, these sounds would have to very loud to appear this clear." .... rest of the thread can be found on the link below [link to www.reddit.com] I don't care how many armchair observations and technical reviews you do, unless and until you hear it for yourself out in the wide blue world where you exist, then anything you have to say is hogwash. |

Roffle. Because random people with cameras or standing around in the world are experts on natural sounds. Can you describe the natural calls of every animal currently located within a mile of you? When you do that, then describe every sound possibly made by wind, building materials, and tree for a mile. Then every possible sound for mechanical instruments for 5 miles. |
