- If you ever wanted to hear what the Aurora Borealis sounds like, here you go.
It's the sound of our minds being blown, of course.
This video is grainy and blurred because it was taken on a high ISO setting with a slow shutter speed. I processed the video to smooth out the frames and make it less jumpy, but tit's filmed in real time.

Well, now I finally know......the aurora borealis sounds like my noisy neighbors!!
I'm glad you understood this. So many people have misunderstood this video and its title.
😂😂😂
🤣
Lmao...RIGHT!!!
Hahahaha🤣
The sound of you talking the whole goddamn time is apparently what it sounds like
Good, you are one of the few who understand then. That is what the aurora borealis sounds like. You weren't expecting to hear celestial music, were you ;-) ?
@@telejeff lol 😂😂😂
@@telejeff No, it does make a sound at higher altitudes do to the interactions of the particles (which causes the lights in the first place). Most people complaining were assuming that it would be that sound, rather than two people just talking for 3 minutes.
@@telejeff northern lights actually make a crackly electric sound, if you stopped talking you might have caught it lol
I’ve been observing the northern lights for decades, listening quietly, and have never heard anything. You do realize there is like one recording in existence that purports to have recorded a crackle in a very rare instance. For all intents and purposes, the lights do not make noise except on extremely rare occasions; otherwise there would be millions of recordings of it on youtube.
Video title: « The sound of Aurora Borealis »
Actual video: « oH My GaaAAawwd oOHh AhH duUude look behind oh woOOooww look there omg OOooOohhH u Kiddin me aAhhH»
yup, you figured it out!
All I can hear is loud Americans.
Well then you are not listening closely enough.
If you had been sleeping during this event, you might have appreciated our noise. The people in this community make noise during aurora by request so that we know when to wake up and go outside. The joke, which I'm not sure whether you understood, is that this excitement and community service is the "sound of the aurora." There's no actual sound to the aurora that is audible to humans; that's an urban myth.
@@telejeff But Bob Ross said they make crackling noise!
@@LychkovIA I love Bob Ross, but I would follow him for his art, not science ;-)
The aurora make crackling noise in certain amplified radio signals, but not in the air. Some people claim hearing sounds during aurora but it has never been recorded or substantiated. It's likely in their imagination during such an emotional event. If there is ever an audible sound, it is exceedingly rare since millions of people with millions of recording devices have never caught it. On extremely rare occasions, meteors make sounds, too, but it's a sonic boom well afterwards that breaks windows, not the "swoosh" sound people think they ought to hear.
I see this comment as an observation , No one is saying they can’t be excited... but i have headphones on and can’t hear shit but these guys going crazy .. completely fair comment 👏🏾
The sound of the aurora: OH MY GOOOODNESS ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!? OHHHH SNAP!
Accurate. 🤣 What an awesome aurora!!
Stunning. I love to hear how excited you guys are! The first time I saw it was in vardo, Norway. I was walking down the street at night when suddenly I looked up to see a giant glowing green tentacle in the sky. It was dancing around like a tarantula. So strange.
I've seen it a lot of times and it's always been memorable, but this time it was so much brighter than I had ever seen before, so I think we were being especially goofy that night. Such an amazing sight!
I've seen the dancing tentacles too a few weeks ago. One of the most amazing things i've seen in my life so far. Pure magic bliss to watch that cosmic lightshow. No words can tell...
Some of the most beautiful things one can experience in life are natural things, especially things that are celestial.. I have seen northern lights in Wisconsin only once. I will never forget it.
Thats why Allah tell people in many places in Quran to look on creation of the universe
(189) And to Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and Allah is over all things competent.
(190) Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for those of understanding.
(191) Who remember Allah while standing or sitting or [lying] on their sides and give thought to the creation of the heavens and the earth, [saying], "Our Lord, You did not create this aimlessly; exalted are You [above such a thing]; then protect us from the punishment of the Fire.
(192) Our Lord, indeed whoever You admit to the Fire - You have disgraced him, and for the wrongdoers there are no helpers.
(193) Our Lord, indeed we have heard a caller calling to faith, [saying], 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed. Our Lord, so forgive us our sins and remove from us our misdeeds and cause us to die with the righteous.
(194) Our Lord, and grant us what You promised us through Your messengers and do not disgrace us on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed, You do not fail in [Your] promise." - Quran Al Imran
What is Allah? Allah is a unique name that is named only to him it cannot be named to any of his creation, is not dual or plural or masculine or feminine.
Oooooh my gawd look at that oooooh my gawd! Stomp stomp stomp ooooh my gawd. Like shhhh there is a sound that these light make.
The sounds these light makes kind of sounds like " ." If you're really quiet can you hear it?
Chalmers: Yes, I should be- GOOD LORD WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THERE?!
Skinner: Aurora Borealis.
Chalmers: AURORA BOREALIS?! AT THIS TIME OF YEAR, AT THIS TIME OF DAY AND IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY, LOCALIZED ENTIRELY WITHIN YOUR KITCHEN!?
Skinner: Yes!
Chalmers: May I see it?
Skinner: No.
Skinner's Mom: SEYMOUR! THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE!
Skinner: No, mother. It's just the northern lights.
Chalmers: Well Seymour, you are an odd fellow. But I must say you steamed a good ham.
Skinner's Mom: HEEEEEEELP! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!

Wow that’s beautiful! I wish I could see one in person.. I hope you and your friend it doing alright in these troubling times!
My friend in this video is on the other side of the states, but I think he's doing OK and so am I. Glad this silly video has brought some joy to people.
Not exactly hearing the aurora borealis but appreciate the effort! :-)
That's the joke... you typically don't hear anything except for people being excited.
Amazingggg.... And when i can see aurora via live with my eyes, i hope i can see aurora for next time
Was lucky few times to see Aurora in South Sweden amazing.
"aLl I HeAr ArE yOuR vOiCeS" as if there arent several moments where you can hear the *silence* the lights make
Thank you for understanding!!
When? When they finally *were* silent for a few seconds, I'd turn my volume all the way up and never heard anything, then they'd start talking and laughing again.
Dude saying "oh my gawd" almost sounds like Tyler the Creator lol
Man are you guys lucky. must have been your lucky night. out of all the aurora borealis videos i've seen, this one shows it at it's most impressive.
I love the awe, wonder and appreciation expressed in those sounds 👌🏻 I’m sure my video would sound much the same should I ever witness and record - great upload 🥰🙏🏻
Thank you so much! I've gotten so much criticism for being loud and excited and I really just shared this to share the excitement. So glad you saw it that way!
@@telejeff it is the easiest form of human expression - that of criticising another - may you long ignore and continue to choose your own expression - currently we still have that liberty. ♥️🥰🙏🏻
@@louiseannatfreeyourspirit Thank you!!!
This is beautiful, to actually see what they really look like vs what they look like in the movies.
I thought it was asmr goddamn, i almost throw my phone
These sounds- AMAZING 🤌🤌🤌
We don't want to hear your voice we wanna here skys voice
I COUGHT the Nothern Lights 2 DAYS A GO unfortunately on my surveillance camera which made the images black and white. I up loaded in my channel in case you wanna see them. them B & W.
Awesome nature at its finest
May I ask where this was? Its so beautiful I need to go!
This was in Denali National Park. If you want to see the northern lights, I would wait a few years for us to get out of solar minimum (11-year cycle where solar activity causes aurora). You have the best chance of seeing it around the equinoxes, though you can theoretically see it any time of the year when it gets dark at night (not May-July, when it never gets dark).
Skinners kitchen
I would give my life to watch this (alone)
Cool. I love the night without mosquito.
It sounds so pretty
Good Video Man First Time I See Aurora
AURORA BOREALIS?? AT THIS TIME OF DAY, IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY, LOCALIZED ENTIRELY WITHIN YOUR KITCHEN??
the sound is really from aurora or from you electronic device?
how come the movement of your friends looks so strange? it looks like theyre morphing @0:26
it has to do with the slower frame rate of the camera to capture the light and the processing to smooth out the motion. When there is a lot of motion, the computer doesn't know how to smooth it out correctly--it really is performing a type of morph interpolation between frames. It is going from 4 frames per second to 30.
All I heard were 2 guys, after a couple of beers!
I'm craving some steamed ham rn
sound
beautiful the sound of people :D
The auroras sounds like debate..
Dmnn its just so beautiful.... 1 question dude...is it more beautiful to see it in person or in camera?
in person, definitely
The dim aurora are often better in camera, some are barely visible. The brighter ones, however, are amazing in person. This one was the brightest I have ever seen and it looked like 3D electric jello lightning wiggling and smearing across the sky. This is why we were screaming--also screaming to wake up our friends who requested noise if there was aurora.
Light dancing across the Firmament.
I have actually heard the sound of as aurora borealis in the Maine wilderness, far from any human sounds. It is a real sound and nothing remotely like these noisy people. The videos that claim to have auroral sounds are just recordings of the electromagnetic waves as detected on a radio device. That is not the same as the sound which can be heard by a human ear.
A-Aurora Borealis?
At this time of year
The green rainbow mentioned in the book a revelations that surrounds the throne of God.
I was thinking same
The aurora looks nothing like a rainbow lol.
@@leaf2180it's called the rainbow bridge in norse mythology you have zero clue what you're talking about
one day i come here ❤️
Love the effort but waiting to hear the mysterious real sound that seems like ground boring echoes.
Can I talk to you now? I was searching for the sound, but are you properly live???
sorry, not live. By “real time” I mean it’s not a time lapse like most aurora videos, it is shot in regular 1:1 time, so you can see how the actual aurora moves.
I know this was three years ago but where was this?
Denali National Park
@@telejeff thank you!
Is that daily dose of internet 🤔
Thats my vibe. This video made my night and goal to see the sky like this one day. So, theres an 11 year cycle and I just need to wait a few years and be in the right place at the right time? 👽 Done.
Ya! Even if you go to northern Canada next year,you’ll see them amazingly. Even just these last two weeks I’ve seen more than I have over the last two years
Awesome, I’m gonna make a wild guess and say this is in Fairbanks Alaska?
Close--Denali National Park, Alaska
Just to clarify: the title of this video is a joke among astronomers. The aurora and other phenomena such as meteors typically do not make sounds, but when we hear other people yell in excitement, we say we "heard" the sound of the shooting star or aurora. Also, we were in a community that requested that we make loud noise during good aurora to wake them up so they don't miss it. We saw a lot of Aurora from Denali, but this was by far the most amazing, so yes we were waking up our friends. It's not necessary to make any more comments about rude and loud Americans; you are missing the point if you do!
Fun fact, the aurora can sometimes make an audible sound , which can be heard if in an area of low background noise, and scientists still dont know what exactly is creating the sound.
@@dawnz7403 yes this! I've heard it. Sharp metalic noices. It's a known phenomenal in my country.
@@Jurnicurn I have heard this and I don't doubt it, but I remain slightly skeptical because I have never seen an actual audio recording of it. I've seen scientists say it "might" be possible since it theoretically can create electrical charges on earth, but it really surprises me that nobody has been able to substantiate this.
I've grown up knowing the sound and heard it time and time again. Think I'm lucky living in Norway. I was very surprised to not find recordings and only a few videos about it.
@@telejeff it was just proven recently that they do make sounds!
Why is there motion blur on the camera?
Hi, in order to get the exposure necesary for a real-time view, I had to slow my frame speed to 4 fps. I then processed the video back up to 30fps, which leaves some blur in the interpolated frames in-between, mostly just in fast-moving things like the people. Thanks for asking!
sounds like tribal music
Do they make sounds?
Theoretically yes, or more like the ground might crackle a little from the electric charge, but it's rarely heard and almost never recorded. The sound you mostly hear is people ooohing and aaahing.
This was literally the exact same reaction I had XDDD
how is the morphing effect in the footage created? such a beautiful video !
I took the video in real time but with a 1/4 second exposure, which left the video a little jumpy, mostly in fast moving things like the people. So I processed with a smooting/slow motion interpolator, which ends up morphing it into 30 frames per second, leaving some artifacts since some information is lost between frames.
How did you take the video? I’m hunting them myself and kp is at a 4 and all my apps are going crazy!
I used a fast (F2), wide angle lens, and a high iso (50-10000) with 4 or 5 fps on the camera to increase exposure time. I then up-processed the FPS to 30 using slow-motion interpolation. That's why my friend looks weird when he moves fast.
@@telejeff Thanks, man. Where were you when you took this?
alright ill be honest I get being excited but the title's really misleading :((((
and i've heard they do actually make sound...
it wasn't until i looked deeper into the desc after struggling to hear in the gaps and giving you the benefit of the doubt that I realized it was just gonna be your amazement hahahah
but i get it, that was probably absolutely incredible , i dont blame ya... im just sad that it's not actually northern lights sounds :'c hahahahah
Looks like your camera was tripping balls.
pretty much!
Came here for ADHD fuel, left annoyed by talking people ruining the mood
People cant just stop talking...
People can't just stop commenting.
You could of course just turn off the volume of the video to hear what the actual aurora borealis souds like, but that's not the point of the video. But yes, people do talk sometimes, birds sing sometimes, too.
💗😍
Two minutes of silence for those who have come here too listen aurora 😂🤦♂️
What videocamera did you use? I did not know tht there is a camera that can videotape this
I used an older sony nex 6 around iso 3200 with a Rokinon f2.8 fisheye. There are much faster cameras out now that can do a much better job. I worked with a sony a7s with a 24mm Rokinon f1.4 that was many times faster, able to get around iso 20-50,000 and still look halfway decent. The difference is that this event was extremely bright, so it was the only time it was actually worth trying to take a video with my slower camera. Notice that Dexter is amazed that he's getting handheld shots on his iphone, and they are turning out great. It was an exciting night for us. To see the a7s setup, there are scenes in this video that really push the camera to its limits to film dim aurora and milky way in real time: czcams.com/video/3qe9ybxZwPQ/video.html.
I should also note, and I think it's obvious in the videos, that I'm using a lower frame rate than the standard 30 or 24 fps, I'm using something more like 5 fps to enable longer exposure times. It gives a choppy video, but it it is real time, as opposed to taking 5 fps and speeding it up to 30fps to make a smoother video that is time lapsed (as I did in the very end of the video). I'd love to be able to do it all at 30fps, but it's just too dim for my camera. I used some software to smooth out the choppiness a little, but it's not perfect.
As I was told, it sounds like slight electricity
It mostly just sounds like people yelling, though ;-)
astrojeff Lol
where was this?
Denali National Park
Hope they don’t whistle
Throne of God ♥️
Refraction of the colors of the throne of God through the waters above
Just liek skyrim even npcs are there.
He recording from an android
A- AURORA BOREALIS ?
Any way to actually hear something else than your loud mouths ? No ?
Perhaps you missed the point... Listen again very carefully and you will hear the sound of the Aurora Borealis.
All i can hear is their noise 😂
Huh, weird, isn't it?
Do us a favor and change the title. Anyone watching should just turn off the audio.
no
ciptaan Allah memang menakjubkan
Big bang theory can't make that kind of beauty. Almighty God did. More than seeing the beauty of God's hands. Let's trust in The Lord and repent of our unbelief ❤
The sound of a guy talking. "Wo, wah, wo, bleh, bla" I mean, shut up.
😂😂😂
Aurora borealis don't have any sounds
did you get the point of the video? It's that they don't normally make sounds unless it's the sounds of the people looking at them.
They talk so much that they don't let anything be heard!!
Damn dude keep your mouth quiet
Dancing to Praises of God?
📖Psalm 50:2

Keria ouvir a aurora e não esse povo falando.
Disappointing
why did you have to talk so much it spoils it
total waste of time - click bait!
Were you actually expecting to hear a sound? It's the joke among astronomers at any astronomy festival. You can hear every meteor that you missed. It sounds like people saying "wow!" People are pretty disappointing in the way they express excitement, I know.
@@telejeff Actually I was. Scientists actually reported that they were able to quantify sounds from auroras. This is something that many of us who have lived in high latitudes have heard about. I personally have never heard them but was adverse to being out in the cold weather when I lived in Alaska. My some of my Alaska native friends said that is did happen from time to time.
Here is are exerpts from an article from the National Geographic on the subject.
Auroras Make Weird Noises, and Now We Know Why
A new theory offers what may be the best explanation yet for hisses and pops heard during powerful light displays.
ARCTIC WILDERNESS TALES often wax poetic about dazzling displays of northern lights painting the skies. But for at least the past century, some of those stories have also mentioned eerie noises associated with especially powerful auroras.
Witnesses say the sounds are comparable to radio static, like a faint crackling, light rustling, or hissing heard for a few minutes during a strong display. While the weird sounds were long considered folklore, Finnish scientists have not only shown that they really happen, but now the team thinks they know why.
The answer can be traced to charged particles trapped in a layer of the atmosphere that forms during cold nights. These particles rapidly discharge when bursts of material from the sun slam into Earth, producing clapping sounds and other noises, the team reported on June 22 at the Baltic-Nordic Acoustic Meeting in Stockholm, Sweden.
Charged particles are constantly streaming from the sun in the solar wind, and auroras occur when these particles interact with Earth's magnetic field. The particles are funneled toward the poles, where they slam into the atmosphere and set off colorful light shows.
Sometimes, the sun flings off major bursts of particles that, when aimed at Earth, can set off disturbances in the planet’s magnetic field known as geomagnetic storms. These storms can interfere with orbiting satellites and even the electrical grid, but they also produce the most dramatic auroral displays.
Previously, one of the leading theories for aurora noise suggested that tree needles or pine cones may be involved. During geomagnetic storms, the atmosphere can hold abnormally high electric fields, creating a difference in charge between the air and objects on the ground.
Anything pointy, like leaves and pine cones, would offer the perfect surface for electricity to discharge, like a static shock jumping from a doorknob to your finger, and that might set off an audible cracking sound.
But back in 2012, Aalto University researcher Unto K. Laine was able to prove that auroral sounds were emanating from above the treetops-230 feet (70 meters) above Earth’s surface-during the times of the most intense displays.
Now, his team’s follow-up study proposes a specific explanation for the auroral snap, crackle, and pop. The key is something called an inversion layer, a region of the atmosphere where the air temperature increases with altitude instead of experiencing the usual decrease. Such layers can develop after calm, sunny days, says Laine. After sunset, warmer air rises while the surface cools, and continuing calm conditions mean the two temperature regions don't mix.
According to Laine and his team, this inversion layer then acts like a lid, trapping negative electrical charge in the region below it and positive charge in the air above. When a geomagnetic storm hits Earth, the lid breaks and the charge is released, creating the weird sounds. This theory matches nicely with the team’s previous observations. They showed that 60 of the loudest recorded sounds originated about 250 feet (75 meters) above the ground. That’s the same altitude as a typical inversion layer, according to independent measurements conducted by the Finnish Meteorological Institute.
"Auroral sound is a phenomenon that is dismissed by many people, scientists and otherwise, as originating in the imagination of the observer," says Dirk Lummerzheim, an aurora researcher at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks.
"I think this is the first time that the sounds are not only observed to actually be an acoustic signal-as opposed to something that is manufactured in the human brain, for example, similar to synesthesia-but Doctor Laine also has proposed a physical process that provides a good explanation."
How to See, and Hear, Auroras
To catch elusive aurora displays and maybe even hear their strange sounds, it’s best to be near or around the Arctic Circle, although powerful solar storms can spark auroras in much more temperate latitudes, too.
Take a look outside around local midnight, facing the northern horizon from as dark a location as possible. Light pollution really filters out the weaker northern lights, so from city suburbs we probably catch only the stronger displays.
The show usually starts with a faint greenish ribbon glowing across the northern horizon. Then, if there is a storm of particles, you could see ribbons and curtains of colors dance over much of the sky.
There are no guarantees that you will see auroras on any clear night, but there is a way to hedge your bets, such as signing up for email alerts from Spaceweather.com, which tracks the solar activity and outbursts that create these amazing sights.

@@jeroldcrawford3431 Thanks for the info! I have heard this theory, but I have yet to actually hear a recording of it. I have heard a recording of radio static from aurora, but not an acoustic recording. This would be really cool to hear and I hope the theory is right, but I'm always a little skeptical until it's fully substantiated (I still haven't heard a real recording, are we both waiting to hear it?).
It really is a friendly joke among amateur astronomers that they "hear" events from excited bystanders, so I hope there's no hard feelings about being tricked by my clickbait title! I admit the title is a slight practical joke, but we were truly excited about this amazing aurora, and we were trying to wake up our friends so they wouldn't miss it. There aren't very many real-time videos of aurora (most are time lapses), so you never get to hear what people are saying in the background.
This didn't help.
This didn't help either. You're welcome to give input as to what you would like, but please be aware that this video is about one experience of what you might hear if you see the aurora borealis.
Bad video, just mute your voice and let us hear:/
ha, sounds like the joke went right over your head
@@telejeff wtf? You could didn an amazing video but your laughts made it bad sadly
:)
@@AzoriGameplays The point of the video is how excited they are and how they can’t hold in the excitement. You don’t have to like it. There are a million pretty videos of northern lights, go and watch them. This one is about the silly sounds that some people make when excited. Sorry it isn’t what you were hoping for, but I’m not going to change it to “make an amazing video” just for you lol
@@telejeff the point is that the title of the video is:
"The sound of Aurora Borealis"
And you cant hear the sound of the Aurora Borealis
@@AzoriGameplaysYou apparently did not read the sticky comment where I explain that it’s kind of an inside joke among amateur astronomers to attribute “sounds” to celestial events, which, in fact, refer to the sounds of amazement coming from the people watching it. If you ever hear the sound of a thousand astrogeeks gasping and cheering when a brigt meteor explodes overhead, you’d also understand the sound that an incredible aurora makes among good friends having fun. The joke and the video and the human excitement part was apparently not aimed at you, so maybe you should look elsewhere on youtube for the perfect aurora video for your taste.
