Shane is once again so correct. There's no evidence to link these various sounds together and they all sound so different and are so geographically distant it's reasonable to say they have unique sources.
i feel like there's at most three or four different sounds (sustained high-pitched note and various weird eerie sounds) because a lot of them are pretty much the same to me.
If so, that doesn’t lessen the mystery, it compounds it!
@@markjd4 not really. Some of them are probably actually trains, etc. There's a very noisy trash compactor near my house - just because I didn't know what it was as a kid, doesn't make it mysterious.
@lilithly loud garbage compactor. Definitely reasonable.
@Vana Ri you'd think with millions of people hearing and watching these type of videos, that companies responsible for these noises would explain it.
But no one's has said anything about them.
For anyone wondering why that one woman told the kids to get into the bathroom, it's a common hurricane safety thing here in Florida. Bathrooms usually have very sturdy walls, and few if any windows, making it one of the best rooms to hunker in during extreme weather.
i live in tornado alley, this is common practice for a tornado emergency as well.
Was gonna say the same thing tornado 101 is bathroom
Same with tornadoes
I mean not if the roof flies off
@@steph8030593 yes but the walls are sturdy theyll protect you
Sorry guys, that was me, I’ll be quieter next time.
I’m disappointed with myself that this got a chuckle out of me
God damn is koobird!! Alright everyone pack it up!
cringe
@@eyes7777 shit, you got me.
@@eyes7777they made easily a few hundred people laugh. Your intention is to ruin it for them, so seems the real cringe here is you.
This is the noise trees make when they fall in the forest and no one’s around they just get louder so people can hear
but if they get louder so people can hear them, then people are around to hear them, therefore, we still don't have an answer to the age old question...
@@greg_one_izm I mean, he just answered it. If no one's around, they just yell louder to get somebody's attention.
@@spuriouslathos2518 When no ones around it doesn't mean that if you yell louder someone will magically appear, (facepalm) you and op are two peas in an obtuse pod, lol
Knowing all these episodes were recorded in 3 days, I feel like this was recorded towards the end of the process. Ryan’s patience with Shane is so thin at some points it’s translucent.
Step away from the katana, Ryan!! 😂😂
😂
Yeah I've been meaning to mention something about it but since I watch their shows no joke every night, I've obviously seen each episode of everything they're done several times over and in the later or more recent work Ryan is pretty freaking downright mean to Shane at times the time to shut up and all sorts of gas lighting that doesn't necessarily feel so playful all the time lol it's kind of cringe not going to lie I got to believe that Shane would whoop his ass if it came down to it so I think he'll be all right
Plus Ryan I think takes joy knowing or thinking he knows how Shane is going to react or respond to something he says. That's another one of the big points that you can tell Shane gets pissed at Ryan for, when he assumes his actions and whatnot. So I think Ryan gets like super sassy when he knows he's got a decent point or at least thinks he knows especially when he can word it verbosely and pompous
@@user_abuser7 I don't know what videos you're watching but I can't sense even the slightest amount of tension.
Both Ryan and Shane are clearly joking around and have their own gimmicks. Nothing more to it than that imo
I appreciate Ryan for taking a minute to pause and smile widely when he first mentions "brontidi". You, sir, are a gift to humanity.
Why?
@@mia.tsounds like titty
It’s so funny how he just said bron-tiddy when I’m Italian and it now… ruined my language for me forever 😂😂
Hahaha honestly I'm just cracking up aliens is flagged as a sensitive topic in the description.. Like..i guess there are wackos that think they got probed hahaha but still
@@KaladinVegapunki could see someone having an irrational fear of aliens, i watched signs when i was like 5 and it fucked me up for a hot second
I feel like cave noises should make an appearance here. Either wind blowing into / out of cave systems or wind blowing across cave entrances. The size/ shape of the cave would change the sound and water level inside could change it further. This would also be dependent on wind speed and direction making it very randomized even in front of the same cave.
This
here in florida all the cave noises ive heard was from a bat or rocks falling causing a echo. our caves arent that deep though
Like nature's version of blowing across an empty beer bottle.
I think this is most likely whats happening but instead of just creating a noise with the cave its hitting a frequency thats also vibrating the mountain or rocks the cave is made from. This would likely cause the sound created to be much louder. This theory also accounts for why its so different all over the world.
Also the physics of sound is sometimes weird in practice. when you combine sound waves in a certain way they can completely cancel each other out, but the opposite is also true, they can be constructive. There are sometimes also "sweat spots" when it comes to vibrating at the same frequency as the material being used to create those sound waves that ends up being much louder and able to project much farther than you'd expect. (This is why violin makers have started vibrating the top and back as they carve those parts of the instrument.)
Earth inhale
Shane's imitation of the Northern Lights' sounds are actually really accurate
I live in a country where you can see them very often and I have witnessed them since I was a child, but I have never heard anything. Some people claim they have heard something, but it's not a well enough known of an experience that people in general would have a consensus on what they sound like. And no, I don't count the kind of emissions that are artificially converted to sound by different machines, that doesn't exactly count. The thing is, northern lights are SO high up in the atmosphere that even if they did let out a sound, you're unlikely to hear it on the ground.
@kiriraganna they are talking about the sound they make in some fancy science way, I think Neil degrasse Tyson made a video on it
@@EtherealWonders1216 Right so the radio waves or something like that. But if you count those, then you have to count literally every other wavelength that hits our planet, including sunrays, and we usually don't consider the sun as something that lets out a sound either, even though we have scientific equipment that can convert sunrays to "sounds" too. I'm just thinking about how Ryan and Shane said "oh I didn't know northern lights make a sound", and the correct response to that should be "well they don't, but we can somewhat simulate what they could sound like based on a machine that interprets electromagnetic frequencies or whatever".
I heard the "trumpet" sounds back in 2000,in Davenport,IA. Me and my now ex-fiance were taking a walk when it started. It was the creepiest sound that her and I likened it to the apocalypse. What made it creepier is that we were in a wooded area of the city. The sound kept fading in and out real loudly and we couldn't even pinpoint the direction from the sky where it was coming from because it literally surrounded you.
Was is on like the first Tuesday of the month? That's probably a nearby town testing the tornado siren.
damn these trumpeters dont like third countries
@@namenotfound3613 we've actually had this kind of phenomenon here in the Philippines also. I remember watching the news about this when I was a child.
I have heard these strange sky noises but only once in my life. It didn't sound like a trumpet though, more like the vibrational hum of an electric guitar that had been strummed. Then again, when it happened it felt RIGHT on top of me so I might have heard it differently than you would at a distance.
It was around 8 years ago and I drove the car to the pasture where we keep the horses in the dead of night. Keep in mind we live out in the backwoods of Louisiana with a dirt road so bad it will ruin your tires. I was alone and everything seemed fine; the horses were chill and the night sounds were just your average crickets and frogs.
As I began heading back out to the car I heard this sound go from low to loud steadily. I was calm at first and thought it was a strange ringing in my head but after it prolonged I thought otherwise. There was something so eerie about it because it SURROUNDED me. It was all around and even felt INSIDE my head while at the same time it felt like it was coming OUT of me. I got scared and quickly got back to the car. I jumped in, locked the doors, and put the seat all the way back. Being inside helped to dull the sound but it could still be heard. I was maybe like that for a solid minute before it gradually stopped.
I was so scared I turned the engine on and sped back to the house. I honestly thought four things as it was happening.
1.) This is a military aircraft being tested. This isn't so crazy as we often have planes and helicopters fly by.
2.) I am about to die. Something is wrong in my head and I am about to die.
3.) IS THIS FU(KING GABRIEL'S HORN?!?!? SH!T THE APOCALYPSE!!!!
4.) Awh sh!t, I'm about to be abducted by aliens.
To this day I have no idea what it was.
Damn but why is she your ex fiancé ? What happened buddy 😔
Had that happen in my region years ago. Some people went a bit nuts. A couple of days after, it was revealed that it was just the sounds from a construction site, perfectly echoed from the stoney mountain surrounding it. They even replicated the exact same sounds as proof. And 99% of the 'trumpets of heaven' noise from around the world sounds *exactly* like that.
@@syaondri it wasn't done on purpose, it was just different construction noises thrown around and amplified by the shape and content of the surrounding area. Metal scraping on metal, metal scraping on stone, different saws on various materials, excavated dirt and stone getting tossed around etc. The sound that ultimately could be heard in my teeny tiny town was pretty distorted from the original noises, too, so it was really a mystery for a few days.
Honestly, pretty much all of the sounds in the video are quite similar, the only one that's very different is the obnoxiously loud one - not because the sound is much different, but the noise level. The one in my area wasn't close to that loud. You could easily hear it even inside, but still hold a normal conversation.
Some of these happened in extremely remote areas. Like I'm glad you feel that way but I personally feel it's something by programs like haarp. Maybe unintentionally? Obviously some of them are faked. but I wouldn't just say everyone is due to construction.
@@syaondri ah, sorry for the misunderstanding. Once the mystery was solved (by a group of students from our university, if I remember correctly) they indeed could reproduce the various sounds on purpose. They even made announcements on the local radio to make people aware of what's going on. A bunch of people from the university 'tested' the shit out of it for an afternoon (I'd bet they had a barbecue, beer and lots of fun messing with all the variations they could think of... 😅) and the construction company put up some wood and dirt walls in the right places to prevent the sound from traveling that way.
Very interesting & cool. But it was funny when “Sweden” was called out but the arrow was pointing to “Switzerland”…! 😂
Was looking for this comment, har from Sweden so found it funny. But I´ve heard it´s pretty common especially for Americans to mistake Sweden and Switzerland for each other
You cannot convince me this 7:54 isn't just a clip of my neighors doing construction on our shared wall.
I was thinking something similar, sounds a bit like a saw cutting through something hard that happened to reverberate quite a bit
for debrief: what is the most disturbing/upsetting sound you've ever heard?
I'd say fingernails on a chalk board, not that I expect youth of today to know what a chalk board is.
The sounds my dad makes when he is eating.
Last breath my father took
I hate ASMR crap, it’s so damn unsettling and gross half the time. Though, I could get behind megaphone ASMR as it’s just funny.
Not a sound but I once had some weird bright ass sky blue lights shine in my window at night. I didn’t have my glasses so I didn’t see anything, I was also annoyed at it waking me up so I got back into bed and went straight back to sleep.
@@BogusJNutherwebb-me6pn Mating Cats
For the debrief: I'm from Alberta (where the weird screaming video was recorded,) and I've actually heard a similar loud sound when I was hiking in the mountains. Turns out, there was a quarry not too far from the trail that was making the sound. Just a combination of human activity and nature that ended up sounding really freaky
And don't forget all the fracking and pipeline activity that happens out here. Especially back in 2012-2016 when a lot more of that was going on.
I operate freight trains through Conklin and can confirm that noise definitely isn't train related.
i ❤️ your pfp
Shane’s negative jokey attitude killin this one for me 😂 ALSO that noise in Alberta Forest Ive watched so many times so insane show so many of my friends aha glad this was being covered its so interesting
So I lived in forest grove for a handful of years and have heard the sound 3-4 times, and not always at night. I was searching up any type of paranormal or folklore about the town when I saw a news article about “The forest grove noise” and thought it was interesting, but I didn’t expect to hear it an hour after once I was moving in. Apparently I lived on the street where the noise was the loudest, each time I heard it it kept me staring out my window hoping I’d see something but I never did.
All of these occurrences seem to be in or around mountain ranges, my best guess is that it’s the sound of the wind hitting the mountains and reverberating in a feedback loop until it becomes deafening
For debrief: I’ve heard this in France. They have a wind called the “mistral” that can blow up to 180km/hr through the mountains. It sounds like bending metal. I’ve also been on cruise ships and heard this sound and assumed it was the creaking metal of the ship going through waves. Maybe it was fish the whole time 😂. I like Shane’s idea that many things can sound similar which muddles the ability to narrow down a cause. [like when you’re trying to figure out if your neighbourhood has fireworks going off, cars backfiring or if it was a gunshot]
Yeah I think it's this - think when you blow across the top of a bottle to produce a sound. The same thing can happen across mountains
Finding similarities in the geography of the trumpet sound seems like a good starting point. From the noise coming from Sweden to Michigan to Canada, it's interesting why it happens there and not somewhere in places like Japan or Indonesia, or the Philippines, which are usually mountainous.
@@vregsharmodan3333 don’t remember much of my gcse geography but i do remember that there’s a particular way air travels across the world in different bands of pressure.
The locations could be ones where certain weather conditions making the air movement that makes noises across mountains more likely?
I haven’t finished the video yet but that’s a suggestion.
Edit: actually ryan says it has been recorded in Japan? So if it’s mostly regions with mountains nearby the theory sounds like it has grounds.
@@vregsharmodan3333 It does happen in Japan, and Japan does have at least one gigantic mountain, so you better brush up on your geography. But I've also heard it in places that are miles away from the nearest mountains and on two opposing sides of the globe. (in the Ruhrarea in Germany and Wuhan, China respectively)
@@vregsharmodan3333Actually, the sounds were also reportedly heard in the Philippines and even made the local news. I remember watching it as a child.
The first time I heard an earthquake, 2005, sounded like a full-sized passenger plane flying through the woods towards us. It was incredibly loud - for a relatively small quake. Didn't even dislodge a roof tile.
I think these noises are mainly tectonic.
I heard a loud boom like a big crash in 2008, turned out to be a small earthquake. Definitely scary when it happened. I'm with you, I think the trumpets are probably tectonic
HAARP
This is HAARP
It can trigger earthquakes by bouncing millions of watts of ELF waves off the ionosphere.. this is what created the loud noises from the sky. Use alternative search engines apart from google to research it.. it’s being censored
@@imafirenmehlazer1i heard a loud distance boom from underground few sec before the earthquake
I do think they’re all natural, but why would the people in the videos all be looking towards the sky? Wouldn’t they be looking towards the ground?
Im convinced the first one is a tornado siren "it's getting close kids go to the bathroom" is a phrase every Midwest kid is familiar with.
i got hit with an ad the second you said "what you are about to witness see might be disturbing" you were right
One of these noises interrupted my high school football practice around 2010-2011. We were running drills when all of the sudden this god awful metallic screech made everyone stop in their tracks. It lasted probably 10-15 seconds and abruptly stopped. Shortly after it stopped someone cracked a joke about how they imagined that was the noise a t-Rex made when it blew its load, we all laughed, and everyone back to playing football. I always just assumed it was from construction work somewhere close by.
What do you think it was now?
@@RachaelMorgan-om4xw Definitely a TRex blowing its load
The Earth making noises is actually a pretty interesting little tidbit. We can’t hear it in the traditional sense but we *feel* it. People who have been in space for too long without it have suffered psychologically because of it. They feel intense anxiety and sometimes depression.
It's always the frequencies
I was going to say its the Earth its self making the noise as it does make noise on its axis when it turns but we are so use to the noise we can't hear it and this is the first time it was recorded and noticed.
Source? Because I would think that the depression would come from, yknow, not being able to open a window for fresh air, being stuck in a box where you can't even shower, floating in space away from your friends and family lmao
@@sarasthoughts NASA has published multiple things about the psychological and physiological damages that happen. I'm not sure of OPs source, but multiple astronauts have spoken about how their sense of smell is messed up and even their eyesight gets damaged. OP might be making a correlation between the known issue of astronauts dealing with depression while in space + how their senses are changed and that earth does make sounds that ppl who aren't desensitized to it can hear (which some hard of hearing and Deaf folks that have new assistive hearing aids have talked abt).
If not, I certainly wanna see those sources, too, OP! I couldnt find any articles or interviews abt it ):
I read somewhere that the earth is old and broken that it now creaks and 'cries' when it turns. Makes me think of WD40, tbh.
I live in Alberta and work in Northern Canada. I can definitely say your impression of the sounds northern lights make was spot on. They crackle, making static/electrical-like sounds.
Train wheelsets, despite having no differential, are not supposed to slip when going through corners, thanks to the wheels being conical.
The main purpose of the conical wheels is to keep the train centered, but it also serves a purpose in corners: The wheels on the outside of the corner can have a larger circumference than the ones on the inside of the corner. Only in very tight corners will the inner wheels start slipping, but in such a situation the train would also be going very slowly, and I can imagine that it's actually the flanges making the most noise.
Anyway, that's why a train crawling towards the station through various bends and switches screeches like an owl, but a train traveling at speed doesn't screech.
how does ryan look progressively more buff every time watcher uploads
He's bulking up to prepare for the day that he actually finds a ghost, so he can reach into its essence and fucking chokeslam it into nonexistence.
Ryan wants to fight a ghost too goddammit
Next episode of Mystery Files, right here?
It will remain... a mystery
Agreed!
Can I just say that as someone who always has subtitles on, it was an absolute delight to see the Canadian newscaster constantly subtitled as saying, "aboot" lol
We're never beating the allegations
I saw that too! Gave me a good giggle!
But Canadians don't say aboot, they say ab-ouwwwt
I'm glad I wasn't the only one that noticed, I wonder who is responsible haha
My favorite was "Finnish snow crunches". Glad to have some clarity on how accented the snow was
I just love the fact that subtitles/captions of CBC news report part was “aboot “
About that, Closed captions went Irish for a moment 😂
@@Tak-lw6hv canadian
@@swinepine sounds similar to That Chapter- Mike hence my first guess
when the wind blows across massive pylon lines it's sometimes essentially like a giant cello
I've heard this in Poland maybe 10 years ago or so, it was this deep rumbling noise that lasted for several minutes. My best bet would be 'earth noises' or a mild earthquake because my grandmother, who was profoundly deaf for the last 15 years of her life, had asked me about some vibrations she felt. She was convinced it was the motorbikes because I lived by a popular route for bikers and on summer weekends there would be groups of dozens of bikers passing through the town and it would really feel like the house was vibrating. But there were no motorbikers that day and I felt no vibrations. But it was disturbing enough that to this day, I remember exactly what I was doing the moment that happened
100% earthquakes are very plausible. They’ve recorded impressively loud noises following earthquakes plenty of times. Even things as seemingly a non-factor as an avalanche can make some scary noises.
Also damaged radio towers have been recorded making some eerily similar noises as well, so that’s an option too. And trains overall can be obvious depending on the location.
dinosaurs
Fellow Pole!! Części!
the vibrations are from the sound (sound waves). really creepy, but i kinda wanna experiencenit. 😂
i first read this as “profoundly dead the last 15 years of her life” and i was so confused 😭
Some of these sound like the sound of an aircraft reverberating through the mountains, but the metal shrieking noises could be explained by earthquakes. We had a 5.2 earthquake strike southern Illinois in 2009 and it woke us up at 4:30 in the morning. It sounded like a freight train running down our street directly outside the house. It didn't cause much damage, and we heard more of the sound than we actually felt of the shaking.
Oh, yeah, I was in a minor earthquake once in MD that I legit thought was a truck at first. Mostly because we don't GET earthquakes in Maryland. Eventually I figured out that since everything was like...moving, it was probably an earthquake.
That one lasted less than 5 minutes tho
As someone who's flown planes through hills (admittedly not mountains) several of these do sound like small prop planes especially the first one in Tallahassee
My thoughts for the first video were that it was a jet engine, I’ve never experienced an earthquake ^^ it would be interesting if that was the cause!
hmm idk man like what you said some of them dont really sound really that similair but the metal shrieking one which sound very specific i have heard from a video a colleague of mine made and i live in the netherlands and we dont have earthquakes or mountains over here. it does sound very industrial or like a train breaking but the problem is there is not that much industry or trains nearby the village he lives in.
kinda funny though cuz he had me listen to the video and we kinda debated what it was but yeah lives go on and i honestly didnt really expect to hear the exact noise from the video again until this video got uploaded :P it sounds like the sound of the 6:40 video and the 8:00 video
@@laurencole2937 I grew up in California so I'm super used to earthquakes by this point but I still remember experiencing my first one as a kid. The first time you feel everything moving like that is definitely freaky-deaky. And, even after having been through so many, it still takes me a few seconds to go, "Wait, is everything...? Oh, yeah. Earthquake." I've never heard sounds along with them (which could just be a difference in location/how local fault lines are rubbing together) but I moved to Oklahoma a few years ago and, when the wind really gets going during the kind of storms that have a potential for tornadoes, it legit sounds like a freight train (and the lighting outside gets weirdly green).
None of these "sky trumpet" videos have big obvious storms happening but many are in mountainous areas (which we don't really have in OK) so the wind layer doesn't have to be right on the ground to make noise. And noise distorts over distance, so it might sound really weird by the time it reaches people's ears. At the end of the day, though, I'm kinda with Shane on this one. It's probably various causes that all get lumped into one basket. It's like how you could have 10 people go to the doctor with a "stomach ache" only to come out with 10 completely different causes.
“It’s not like the boogie man shows up and snaps ur dads neck”🤣😂🤣
The effort you guys put into the captions is one of my favorite things about your shows.
One of many fun examples from this video @ 10:20
(Finnish snow crunches) (man speaking Finnish, presumably) 😂😂😂😂😂
Idk why, but it kills me every time yall do something like that 😂😂😂
Ryan: Plays a video of an ungoldly metallic scraping noise coming from the sky.
Shane: "Is she French?"
Seriously though, I've heard this once early in the morning in South Carolina and thought it was a tornado siren. Boy was that a freaky day.
Same, only in Washington. I was kinda terrified.
I grew up next to a military jet training ground. Every once in a while I would literally get thrown out of bed by the sound of old ass sirens (kinda like the ones from Siren Head) and Jets flying over our house.
Absolutely terrifying.
@@NinaSylveon See, and that totally makes sense. I've heard how terrifying those are from a friend whose parents were stationed in South Korea, back in the late 1980s and early 1990s. She's still traumatized, also likening the experience to Siren Head.
Omg now that i think of it I've heard it too! It was quieter but it was definitely like this. I live in SC as well and around 11:30 one night i heard these awful deep metallic churning and whirring noises from outside an open window. I got so scared i asked my parents if there was construction going on, and they said no, they weren't allowed to do construction at night because of the noise. I literally thought it was aliens. Forgot about it until now and never made the connection with the sky trumpets. Even researched construction in my area and never found anything for that time period
was it a train?
I very much appreciate that not only does Watcher make sure that their captions are accurate, but are also comedic with the noise descriptions😂
* Finnish snow crunch *
* man talking finnish presumably *
"aboot"
fr its so annoying when a channel that clearly has high production values won't put captions on their videos
I look forward to how they describe the watcher logo intro every time 😂
The Terrace, British Columbia clip definitely sounds like the brakes on an unloaded rail car. The Canadian National Railway mainline runs through Terrace. If a brake was stuck on it would make this sound and resonate for as long as it took the train to safely stop.
11:51 "Schweden!" *points to Italy*
😂
For debrief: I agree with Shane on these sounds probably originating from different sources, but as someone who lives in an area where earthquakes happen quite regularly, earthquakes can make very loud noises that is quite similar to some of these. I haven’t experienced any sky trumpets but I did hear terrifyingly loud screeching noises during earthquakes.
Same here. As someone who lives near a freeway a couple of them totally sound like when a semitruck goes over the warning ridges at the side of the road. When it bounces over the distance it can sound pretty eerie. Anyway sound getting distorted over distances is basically the basis of most old folk tales about creepy night noises. Scientists are also pretty sure there's lightning-less thunder sometimes.
Tornados too
Some of these where actually concrete cutters that make an extremely loud noise. The one in BC was exactly that. There was a video on CZcams of some guy walking to the source and it led him through the trees to this construction site. They’re literally just cutting concrete and hard rock. But the other noises are still unexplained
I experienced earthquake screeching this year and it was more nerve wrecking than the sound of a nuclear blast I experienced in 2020. Its like screaming coming from beneath the ground
Yes, earthquake do make a sound,i heard one seconds before a magnitude 5.5 , the earth rumbled like a huge tornado and something beneath gigantic coming,it was eerie and haunting (it was around 2 a.m in the morning while i wake up to the call of Urine break,i sat up in bed and turned to let my right foot down) it was very awful noise that something broke within me as a 29 yo adult,i almost cried in fear, few seconds later the earthquake came. It was very awful noise but it's not similar to these "Trumpet noises".
For those wondering, the reason the lady at 3:46 says to get in the bathroom is because the parents think a tornado is coming, and that’s where you hide if you don’t have a basement
I remember the few times we had tornado warnings when I was younger we would be in the basement bathroom because it was safest, being an enclosed room with no windows in our basement.
@@miniatureviking3207 I remember in elementary school here in Texas they'd have us huddle against the walls lol it really felt like it wouldn't help a bit bc we were all in a line against all the walls some of us definitely would've got vacuumed up😭
@@Soul_Alpha I'm pretty sure the main reason they do that is cuz hallways are the only rooms without windows lol. If it goes on top a school, you're all fucked anyways, but if it's far away at least you won't be stabbed by shattered glass or things flying through a window lmafo.
No shit Sherlock.
She said for those that did didn't know sh$tstuffedcrust
To me, they sound like the sound your desk made when your teacher had enough of your shit and moved you to the front 😂😂
I've experienced this phenomenon years ago. It was really weird. Especially the fact that it was happening all around the world that time.
All around the world, you say?
@@UncleKennybobs maybe not literally everywhere and at the same time, but definitely at the same period.
I live in Anchorage Alaska and experienced this myself. One of the most terrifying things I’ve ever heard. Didn’t get it on camera, but it will stick with me forever. This was early 2019 however and we had just had a massive 7.1 earthquake a few months earlier. We were still getting aftershocks from this so I wouldn’t be surprised if it is related to earthquakes
the 2019 earthquake was fucking crazy. i was in a second story of a building in Fairbanks and felt it sway in a very nauseating way, and afterwards we just knew something terrible had gone down elsewhere in AK. the rare (but not impossible) devastating earthquakes are one of the only things that puts me off from moving to Anchorage! 😭 shit it scary
well i heard this exact sort of sounds from a colleague of mine (so not personal) but he had a video recording of it . this was in the netherlands and we really dont have earthquakes over here. it sounds to me like an very metalic industrial sounds like a train breaking or a factory or something like that but it wasnt really the case cuz my colleague doesnt really live that close to a railroad or like heavy industry.
pretty funny to hear it on here now lol
Yup. Don't think it's squeeling train wheels...as it would happen more often and...looking at some videos...there does not appear to be any trains nearby...
Love how Ryan translated the Finnish guy almost perfectly
but also confused Sweden for possibly Switzerland lmao. Its very commonly confused in Turkish as well because they sound similar "İsviçre" for switzerland and "isveç" for sweden but this is the first time im seeing a nonturkish person confuse em
@@NashQlaim people tend to confuse them because of the "swi" sound I think. And some people think that "Swiss" refers to Swedish people. Idk if it's the true reasoning but that's just my experience.

I live in a place where there are often small earthquakes (right between France and Germany) and I can confirm that some of those sounds are a little bit similar to things I’ve heard while being outside after earthquakes!
One of the craziest one was when the epicenter was right next to where my house is. We heard something that literally sounded like a giant boom, like a huge ass explosion and it felt like the walls of the house were hit by a sound wave! Then the hearth quake was very mild, but still the noise was super spoopy
Another time it sounded like a giant fighter jet flew over the house, I live in the countryside and I’m used to the sound of jets breaking the wall of sound during training over the house, but this time it felt like it was right beside it and all my pets freaked out. Turns out it was just some hearth movements that were reported in the news the next day
I read a scary story once from a park ranger, of course it could have been fictional, but this happened. In the woods, a sudden loud noise happened. I think it's interesting that the majority happen in forests / near mountains.
I don't know why but this reminded of the Maple Syrup Event in NYC in the late 2000s. Large parts of the city would very strongly smell of maple syrup and no one knew why. This went for years and would happen randomly. People kept reporting it to 311, some feared it was some sort of chemical weapon. I remember smelling it in Brooklyn a couple of times and it was very odd and lasted a few hours. A whole bunch of government agencies got together to figure out what the hell it was, and, of course, New Jersey was to blame. Some factory in NJ was processing fenugreek seeds which made large parts of NYC sporadically smell like maple syrup.
I love that this made it into an episode of 30Rock.
@@oceanoflotion8630 oh my god, yes! i like that there's real-life NYC lore behind that episode that you have to know to get the joke. them smelling maple syrup must seem so random if you don't know about this incident.

I love how when they say “if this mystery is solved, or if it is simply…” they wait to say “….a mystery” fully knowing we all keep thinking he’s gonna say “unsolved” 😭
I noticed this also 😂 they catch me every time....I always say unsolved when he pauses
i wish they would go all in and say unsolved. to reclaim it. it isn't like Buzzfeed has the copyright of the word. "is this mystery... a mystery?" sounds just a tad clunky
The sh*t eating grin he has on his face as well, just perfect
Heard some sky trumpets back in '98 in the wilderness of the High Peaks region of the Adirondacks. Wish I had a video camera back then...
i've had a similar experience. it sounded like a speaker buzzing directly in my ear. I was too scared to move! the weirdest thing is that the sound was so LOUD but when i tried recording it, it was barely audible
As a viewer who consistently watched unsolved over the years and has watched every single episode, I’m ecstatic to see Ryan and Shane continuing discussing mysteries! You guys are awesome
I really like that they’re stepping more into the world of general mystery and away from try crime, true crime was always sick but love the expansion into the unexplained phenomenon
I have to say it's interesting how, in both Christian mythology and Norse mythology, the end times are announced by divine trumpets. Makes me think these sounds are things that've been happening forever and we've just called them different things. Mythology tends to be a reaction to and an attempt to explain natural events, especially ones that scare us.
In islam aswell..
That's because back in history, wars and fighting began with the blowing of a trumpet. That's all they know, so they wrote about. It doesn't mean anything else.
It is also important to note that the surviving norse myths we have were all transcribed by christian monks and there is a fair amount of bias in the texts so it's very difficult to decipher which myths are original pre-christian stories and which ones were made up/altered by Christians in order to convert the Pagan population.
This !!
@@teresayates8274can't be sure 🤷♂️
I tend to agree with the theory that these sounds are likely unrelated due to the wide range of geographic locations. But this makes me think of "the wild hunt" because of how widespread it is as well as it originating in the sky.. but since these occurrences tend to be happening during the day, that does not seem likely.
As in the wild hunt from the Witcher?
Reminds me of one of the cases on Missing 411 The Hunted. A guy said he heard what sounded like a giant, heavy, metal door slam shut over their heads but saw nothing; then one of them vanished without a trace never to be seen again.
This is actually something I’ve experienced!! Both times in Wrightsville Beach, NC before hurricanes. In 2016, I heard it about four hours before Hurricane Matthew reached us. In 2018 I heard it before Florence made landfall. I initially thought they were the evacuation sirens, but they sounded different than they had earlier in the week. Elder locals just said God screamed before disasters and it was normal 🥴 But some of those videos online are definitely just trains lmao
same i used to hear “sky horns” all the time and they used to echo and go in and out and scare me so bad but it was literally just the local fire department
That just sounds like wind those times, ain’t it?
@@D44RK_Iced_Yogs sounded different from the wind, but probably something like that. hurricanes are pretty distinct sounding when they approach and when they’re sitting on top of you. I’ve lived through a couple dozen hurricanes and I’ve only heard it those two times
@@angiegibson6598 as in the video, it probably is just thunder, belts and electric stuff but still, I’d imagine wind is one that is reported. Im just giving you a hard time lmao.
I’m wondering how the different sounds can be admitted. It could be trains but as some have said, no trains were in the area so I wonder what other natural explanation is there.
Haven't both hurricanes and tornadoes been described as sounding like trains approaching? Makes a lot of sense then. My guess is it's most often just natural sounds (wind, earthquakes, etc) amplified by the landscape. Nature can make some freaky sounds.
I experienced this once a few years back. What tipped me off to something being weird was that I was wearing headphones and the sound just went through them - and not like a normal noise that's just louder than your music, it was almost like it just bypassed it and went straight for my brain. But when I took the headphones off it sounded like it was also coming from everywhere. A very loud, persistent trumpet like sound. I stood there for a while trying to justify what it could be but it went on for so long at the same tone I didn't know what it could've been. I'm not even religious like that but it really did sound like rapture trumpets, that's the only way I can describe it.
It's swamp gas and whether balloons dude, you can take your tinfoil hat off now.
A few yrs ago before YT was censoring everything. A US gov. private contractor explained these sounds. From what I can remember because obviously his channel is gone. He is only referring to the US. He said it's a Huge boring machine(machine that makes underground tunnels) what ppl are hearing is the blades spinning in the final shut down process after break through. He had maps and videos of the process. Once you hear that sound you don't forget it. Most of these sounds sound exactly like the boring machine. They are building tunnels to connect for government purposes. Walmart is even lowkey involved. It was so long ago I do remember his tone was ominous of a coverup to a much bigger picture.
@@whateveryousaygroomer131😂😂😂

@@williamabaker12 never seen a video or report of swamp gas making sound like that. Nor *weather balloons.. because balloons don't make a lot of sound. It's rather rude to discredit someone and claim they're a fool without providing evidence as to why that is. I'll take his first hand account over your incredibly stupid theory any day.
I heard these twice in 2019 or 2020 and I chalked it up to an old tornado siren!
i think this noise happened in my city back in 2021-2022. loads of people from the city (and a huge one to say the least) heard them, and loads of videos started floating around. i dont remember if it made the news, but i remember being in my room and having my aunt call me ask if i was hearing the weird noise, which i wasn't
also due to how big and urban the city was, probably wasn't sand dunes or waves, but i think the earth sound part explains a lot
Something to observe here: You don't see any credible accounts of this happening twice in the same place. If these are one off atmospheric events, it would explain a lack of documentation and a lack of recording prior to the advent of cheap portable digital cameras. I think they have similar causes, but are not supernatural in origin. Probably just some atmospheric thing we haven't discovered yet.
Also the one at 11:10 does indeed sound like the screams of the damned, and that one I can not explain as atmospheric. That one might be some supernatural fuckery or a prank.
it's funny that Shane mentions trains. i lived next to a train track for more than a decade and got really used to all the noises. once while walking my dog, there was this extremely loud metallic rumbling that rose in volume over several minutes. i thought we're all going to die in a few minutes lol. i was expecting to hear a train pass, but it just stopped. that was roughly 10 years ago in Latvia and i still don't know what it was. there's other weird shit I've witnessed there as well.
Nice!Thank you for your story, Care to share the weird stuff you saw? Always curious about what ppl from different places in the world had seen.
Please tell us more...
I’d like to know too! I’ve seen my share of stuff too.
@@gvaldez03 haha well okay. actually a few months ago i'm pretty sure i experienced aliens in that same town. not like it's a big deal. i mean, we didn't actually see anything.
around midnight there was a bright light in the sky that illuminated our surroundings for like a second. all we saw was that suddenly we can see shadows of trees and etc., when before and after it was pitch black like it should be.
we call that spot our chill spot. it's next to a huge valley and a rusty ferris wheel (the only one in the Baltics i think). we often just talk there until late at night.
I've seen a lot of meteorite footage and it wasn't that. also, no noise. kind of really fast with a light that's way too strong. we weren't scared or anything, it's just that when i think about it, no logical explanation comes. same with the weird, ear-piercing noise.

I've heard similar noises but they can be easily explained:
1. Where I grew up the noise from steelworks many miles away would easily travel to where we were on a still night. Everyone knew it was the steelworks. It's something you quickly get used to and even as a child you're aware of what it is. There are similar noises where I live now where the culprit is... metalworks. These tend to be short bursts of noises though.
2. My hometown also has a train station which has a fairly severe curve just before entry (or exit). The trains, of course, break in order to come to a stop at the station, and this creates the noises. Again, this is well known. I also doubt they'll ever fix this as it would cost too much.
3. It's a shame you didn't have any video showing sand dunes making these noises. They do. Indeed it suggests that if this can happen in sand dunes, then it can happen elsewhere. If sand from the deserts can make it into my back yard, deafening sounds from the desert could make it across vast distances too.
4. It's not aliens.
Human shit will be one cause, but that's not interesting. Finding the actual natural cause would be interesting. There's plenty of weird stuff that happens on this planet that still doesn't have a good theory. However I would expect natural causes to be rare which is why they weren't captured on video until recently. The sudden up-surge of videos will likely be human shit or Fox News making shit up.
I like how "aliens" is considered a sensitive topic.

Our family experienced this in April of 2012. Was terrifying to us. It sounded like giant metal ships in a harbor rubbing against each other, but coming from above our heads. Really unsettling. And way louder than a train.
I heard it awhile back during a snowstorm, prolly just snowplows far away in a mountain but it was super loud
Heard it while visiting Marrakech Morocco. Sounded like a metal desk being slid across a concrete floor.
It’s a glitch in the Matrix, just kidding, don’t know what the F it was.
I’ve heard the noises. It’s freaky af because it comes from above and all around. Like yenno when you can hear a plane coming from a certain direction. This was nothing like that, literally couldn’t tell where it was coming from it’s all around you and in your soul
I appreciate you all speaking up as I was leaning towards Internet hoax
That sound are portals opening. When it's the metal sounding like it's being dragged or something
can't tell y'all how grateful I am that someone takes the time to caption your videos instead of letting youtube spout random shit ❤
I remember hearing one on a cloudy day and it sounded like a tuba playing the lowest the note possible and it freaked me out and I remembered my brother coming into my room and asking "did you hear that", and I replied with "yeah", and I had chills down my spine from hearing it with an overwhelming fear.
As someone who grew up in a small northern Canadian indigenous community I would just like to say…Shane’s interpretation of the northern lights sound is accurate, that’s the sound of all the ancestors in the sky whispering and judging our life choices lol
sure
Mine would be a hell of a lot louder and angrier 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's actually not
@@DrGreerIsRight yeah obviously it's solar and electric energy and it makes those sorts of noises. But they're very important to indigenous cultures because they saw them, we see them as our ancestors. Like people see birds and butterflies as their ancestors through concepts such as reincarnation. These days it's more of a concept, a comforting belief.
@@mills9320 Same. I'm Italian, my ancestors don't whisper 😂
For the debrief; The earthquake idea makes the most sense to me, whenever I hear the sky trumpets I always think of rocks scraping against eachother, it's an ear piercing sound. I'd like to add one more possibility though, that caves could possibly make amplify the sound, making it even louder and travelling farther, which could explain why people don't feel the earthquake necessarily.
Agreed. I also wonder if something similar could be behind the Taos hum.
Doubtful. Land is a more dense medium, so waves (such as quakes or sound) travel better through land than through air
I also wondered if the sound itself could be buildings too. I know of Beetham Tower in Manchester England that produces a noise similar to sky trumpets. And apparently construction sites also sound spooky at night too.
One time I heard giant waves hitting a cave with multiple openings and it sounded super freaky until I realized what was making the sound, so I can believe that caves could amplify earthquake sounds in weird ways
@@Karin_Allen Taos New Mexico?
Them and the editors are having more and more fun the longer the season goes 🤣
I live in a mountainous area that often experiences earthquakes, and some of these sounds are very similar to how a coming earthquake sounds. It can sound like thumping, industrial sounds or a big freight train coming in your direction. But it's strange how these videos feature no quakes coming right after the sounds. However, the overall similarities lead me to believe that it is some kind of tectonic activity.
I was walking in my local nature preserve, and I remember hearing this high, resonant singing sound several days in a row, broadly getting louder and softer with the wind. I eventually worked out that it was the sound of two very large gumtree branches rubbing against each other and resonating in such a way to produce this deep, musical sound. The branches have since broken in a strong wind, but I wish I'd captured the sound at the time. For a short time, the trees were singing.
Americans have such an ability to polish a turd. Calling these noises trumpet like is just embarrassing.
The school where I work has an area where the trees sing on windy days. It's beautiful.
The redwood trees do that near me, it always makes me think a tree is about to fall. This could be an interesting theory for what’s going on in these videos, though honestly that would be crazy with how insanely loud these sounds are.
Very well written! Are you a writer?🤩
I just shed a single tear from reading your beautiful words
I think i was in like 6th grade and there was a solid week in Amarillo TX where everybody kept hearing these sounds. A kid posted a quote from Revelations about the trumpets starting the rapture and let me tell you there was genuine hysteria in our school and the teachers seemed sorta freaked out too. I only heard it twice and it sounded far off. Reminds me of the sound those machines make in War of the Worlds. It was like a tornado siren but 10x more eerie and metallic.
I’m thinking the trumpets from the sky references in many historical documents , are marking a period of change a cycle of things.
As we pass through the galactic center… stuff happens and we’ve not been this advanced or populated during this cycle.
Around this time in history, 150-250,000 years… the earth came out of a hot period and went into an ice age.
These events preceded this.
I remember that. I live in Amarillo, Texas and one of the radio stations was playing a video with the sounds
What year was that? I lived in Borger as a kid, an hour N of Amarillo.
@@bluekryptonite22 2010-2011ish

I experienced weird noises similar to some of these in WY a few nights in a row. But no one else i talked to ever claimed to have heard anything when i asked. All the sounds happened around 2-3 am and weren't horribly loud, but they would last for several minutes and keep going for upwards of an hour.
It was a weird droning sound almost.
My favourite explanations for these are...
1. The combined screams of all souls trapped in hell.
&
2. Dragons. Yup, Dragons! Awakening in hidden/rural places & roaring to announce their awakening. The sound travelling across the sky bouncing off trees, buildings etc.
As a mysterious sound this phenomenon is so cool and feels like the premise of a movie or fantasy novel, and imagining it's just "noisy fish sex" is probably the funniest possible thing to undercut that coolness
I used to hear booms all the time in my hometown in Australia because it was surrounded by bush and it would get so hot during summer that gum trees would spontaneously explode. Sometimes nature is just loud man 🤷🏼♀️
My fiancé's talked about how his mom's place up in northern Canada would get random explosions noises. The weather would get so cold trees would just explode - kinda the inverse of your scenario.
Living in South Asia for almost 25 years now, never heard any of such noises and never saw anyone talked about such incidents.
Maybe it's a NA/Europa kind of thing.
There is an industrial park near my parents house(2-3 miles). Growing up we would hear strange sounds till I found it was train breaking, metals clashing, or being dragged. The humidity and light rain made it sound louder. With that being said some of the noises on here were creepy with nothing coming to mind as to what they could be
I live near an industrial park currently and the mill rolls freight in between 3 and 5am a lot of the time. When I first moved here and heard that at 3am I was definitely reminded of these "sky trumpets," but I agree that while a lot of videos could be mistaken industrial noise pollution there are plenty that I personally can't think of an explanation for (beyond hoaxes)
i’m so glad you guys chose this phenomenon because you have no idea how much the mysterious sky trumpets had a CHOKEHOLD on me as a kid

@@mom.4life hahaha unfortunately, no. but i fell into this loophole and was so fascinated by it, it even happened in my country too, at a neighboring city! i’m not sure of the authenticity of it though 😅
@@nyver8845 It is a real thing. I heard it around 2012 in Canada within a populated suburb and assumed it was just some huge construction project. Only years later did I realize it was a worldwide thing. It was sort of harmonic and had a very deep pitch and screech to it. Very metallic and a lot of reverb. I listened to it for a few minutes as I really just couldn't pinpoint where it came from. It seemed to echo everywhere. I think it's a natural phenomena
@@MrTuneless that’s incredible!!! cant imagine what its like hearing it irl :0 and yeah, i do also think its a natural occurrence. tbh, the train tracks and trucks braking theory do make sense but, i genuinely do not believe it 😭 don’t those things happen daily? in that case, why don’t we hear that blaring mysterious noise everyday outside yakno? and why don’t they last 10 minutes? the natural earth sound theory just makes much more sense overall 😭
@@MrTuneless I heard it all the time when I was in middle and high school. I live in Ohio, would always record them but sadly I never backed my phone up . They became less and less frequent as time went on. Elementary school they were almost daily. So much louder than a train, exactly the way you described. Haunting but so damn intriguing.
I personally think these sounds are a combination of natural and man-made activity. I live in Alaska and hear sounds like this a lot. It's probably related to atmospheric or seismic activity. Also low flying planes or jets make some crazy sounds, especially when they're too far away to spot.
I always thought it was the distant sound of the plows on pavement on the Parks highway. But then I heard the vast sound in the summer as well. 2022 and 2023 I’ve heard it at least 5 times. It’s quite encompassing and last only about 30 seconds to a minute. I’ve lived here my whole life, over 50 years and only the last few years have I ever noticed it. Cheers!
I was hoping someone would say this! It's the Earth's crust moving. The poles are shifting, and have been.
That checks out I think! Also, if it’s not terribly personal, do you happen to live like farther north or something? I lived in Anchorage for like 5 years and didn’t hear anything. Although, I also just wasn’t a terribly observant child. There were a few times I just completely missed that a moose was there lol
I live near Conlkin and know a few people who have heard these noises. It's not uncommon up here but pretty freaky. I do think personally it's something natural/ man made. We do a lot of oil drilling and such so it could cause something seismic like. 😊
Ah yes, the Anchorage Horns...
I live not even 5 minutes from a major airport and an interstate, so if this sound came from the sky id probably not think twice of it.
Ive heard some insanely bizzare and disturbing sounds come from heavy traffic
I remember hearing the Forest Grove sound. I was a bit further away so it was just a very slight whistling sound that would happen randomly at night. Haven’t heard it since then.
I grew up near a train yard and now live relatively near a station, and the first thing I thought of was trains breaking. When the wind's right the sound carries a surprising distance and can distort it in weird ways. Some trains really need to oil their breaks and it can sound like screeching or screaming and if you're not used to it it's very unsettling. I don't think that's what all of these were, but I'd be willing to bet that at least one of these was filmed near a train track.
Oh man the sound of trains braking when the tracks are covered in ice, that's terrifying.
Agreed - I'm miles from the tracks but some nights they still screech loud enough to wake me up.
I've lived around tracks my whole life, next to amtrack yard, tracks 3 doors down, and tracks a mile behind my house (in the woods) and, while scary and loud, its never sounded like this to me 😅
Peope are trying hard to be rational in the world where our planet is just floating in the universe ahah. We don't know what's this. That's it
There's a Diner in Enola, PA called the Squeaky Rail Diner. It got its name from the curve in the train track nearby. Every train that passes by squeals the entire time it's on the curve. Every once in a while there's a wheel set that is 100 times louder.
Where I live there's a train track 1.5 miles away over a hill in the next valley. Every few months or so the weather conditions are just right that I can hear a train there and it sounds like it's only a few block away.
A squeaky track a few miles away, plus just the right weather conditions for the sound to travel and you have the perfect condition to get any of those videos with that sound in it.
Northern lights kind of sound like fire crackles, very calming honestly. Definitely not a shrieking sound that overpowers all other noices. But I feel like people don't realize how loud nature can be. I've heard rivers sound almost like a scream or a roar, especially in contact with ice. And the combination with nature and human-made stuff also makes really interesting sounds. There's a really bad road that I drive often that makes you think that an airplane is right over you, and I worked at a airport!
Also Finnish snow crunches?
10/10 from a Finn
Watched a video with the sound an iced-over lake makes. terrifying, and apparently really loud too
My best theory is that these sounds are the work of glaciers/ice caps/icebergs melting and shifting. They do this almost constantly is water is always changing, but every now and then large-scale breaks and shifts occur, and they’re said to sound like grinding and scraping. If they are large enough, and with the lower pressure weather systems often up north, sound would be long, loud, and far-traveling
I have experienced this sound in Southern Ohio, Hocking Hills to be specific, i think 2014.
Sounded like a distant titanic yeti screaming in an otherworldly sound. It was so loud it felt frightening and concerning.
Honestly, I believe it's tectonic, most likely incredibly deep plates shifting, and / or atmospheric pressure fluctuations. I didn't feel the sound in my chest as I would have thought, given how loud it was to experience. I was with my wife and brother at the time, and we frequently talk about it. Haven't heard it since, but it is something unique to experience that's for sure.
Wait..i live in Saskatchewan, Canada and had this happen to me and my parents. I just didn't know it was a common phenomenon. We were sitting outside, it was a clear sunny day, not a single cloud in the sky, when suddenly we start to hear this loud sound, it sounded like a GIANT jet passing over us,but there was nothing in the sky. Me and my mom both grew up around the same air base so we were so confused. it took like ten total minutes to pass over us and we could still hear it even as it started to fade. Its what i imagine being under a giant star wars spaceship would sound like. We just shrugged it off as maybe aliens and went on with our lives 😭💀
meh, probably aliens. so what's for lunch?
You guys were just chill with the idea of aliens and carried on 🤣😭 honestly what else can ya do
If the trumpets sound, we will all hear them. I wouldn't bet on ever hearing them. I think it's all hogwash. And by all, I mean the bible.
Had those where I lived too, then I learned the neighbor had a frigging helicopter…. Bastards
Omg I hear this all the time in the morning like a jet or something but goes on for a good five mins sometimes sounds like a plane gonna crash gets further away so weird
For debrief: this isn’t really a question but I felt like it was important, especially since Shane is so open to learning, to point out that “turtle island” is usually a reference to North America in many indigenous cultures.
So, you did in fact go to turtle island, because you never left turtle island, congrats boys!
If you look at a map North America kinda looks like a turtle shaped island! There are also several turtle island maps of North America available online if you want to learn more!
Could the indigenous population tell that the land was shaped like a turtle? I know some tribes had legends about the world being on a turtles back but if it’s because they had knowledge of the shape of the continent that’d be so sick.
To be fair, they have left the turtle a few times before this specific channel. And probably other times.
But that's definitely interesting and I appreciate you sharing it!
yes!! I was hoping someone would mention this
I'm an indigenous person native to Turtle Island and came here to say this lol
Came to comments to see if anyone said this, yall dont dissapoint
Benn Jordan recently made a video on the "Hum" sound which as been widely reported being heard all over the world. Different sound than a lot of these, but many of the potential sources are similar. One leading option is liquids moving through pipes, such as large oil pipes. Pipes are obviously very reverberent, and miles and miles of metal piping with liquid moving quickly through them can very easily make some strange sounds that could travel widely.
I feel like my biggest problem with the train theory is that it would likely be a regular occurrence. I lived in a town where there was a curved train track near the central hub. It was really old and must have been too sharp of a turn, so whenever trains passed over it the wheels would let out ear-piercing wails for minutes, very similar sounding to the sky trumpets! however this sound didn't extend much further than the downtown area, and was consistent enough that people don't get startled by it but more so annoyed. I could see this theory explaining some of the ones in open spaces where sound travels and people don't notice it happening regularly, but not so much the ones in town...
I once heard a weird and loud sound like a freight train running through the sky in my hometown, everyone for miles heard it. It then was found to be the Texas Eastern Pipeline being cleaned by a "hog". Basically the large underground pipelines that transport petroleum and natural gas goods need cleaned ever so often, and they place a large cleaning device in the pipe and send it down the line. Maybe this could be some explanation for the so-called "sky trumpets" . #Shaniac
That sounds likely! But what about the weird noises in NJ that sounded like explosions, and local officials had no thoughts?
19:14 well I commented on this before finishing the episode
Yeah I feel like most of these are just rare but loud man-made noises like the pipeline cleaning. To me a lot of the high pitched ones sound exactly like trains squeaking.
Yup, there was a long running phenomena around lake Erie - turned out it was a factory on the US side of the border
@@keithfriestad3949 My problem with that is, if it's the case, people would've come out to explain it. It's definitely a likely explanation, but the idea that a company or government official wouldn't come out to clear the air about the sounds of hell in the air is just odd.
As a former railroad Conductor, the sounds, at least to some degree, do mimic railroad sounds. I know railroads sounds, and these sounds, do sound "railroad-ish", but the sounds would have to be traveling from some long distance and some how filtered and amplified by natural forces. And the theory of Natural Forces amplifying sound is another mystery within itself.
I lived by a railroad. One of the sounds do sound like it.
I’ve lived within earshot of trains for a big portion of my small life, and that’s exactly what these sounds reminded me of at first. Train sounds. But like you said, they sound like they’re SO loud but so far away. Some of them don’t sound like trains, though (Like the one that sounded like 100,000 souls trapped in an ocean in hell).
@Ava-cq1zi Some sound like jets.
You can hear the loud boom and screeching minutes before you see them. One time when I was picking my kids up, there was ten jets doing a practice. It was loud, scary, and cool at the same time.
What gets me on them is I can't make out a specific action that sounds like it. Almost like a train is trying to drive on a metal road instead of rails? I'm European though so maybe our trains just make different noises.
@@HermicraftAddictyes and there couldnt ve jets I also heard couple of them this sounds were far Lauder might be UFOs or some communication.
A few years ago, I saw a clip of a guy recording the "Trumpets" wondering what that sound was, and in the same clip... He identified the sound was coming from front loaders dragging their steel buckets across the cement pavement. They were making the exact same sound and echoed for miles
I heard one of these once in the woods. I'm a skeptic all the way but I honestly can't think of a single thing which could have made that kind of sound.
In 2015, there was a volcano eruption in my town but days before, the people claimed they could hear some trumpets or loud noises at night, obviously, they were quickly dismissed and people thought it was some gangs shooting or the farms working late, but then a few days later, the Volcano erupted. The same happens with night earthquakes, you always hear them first, like a trumpet, and then feel them.
I was moving my son and my brother to Tallahassee in 2011 and my brother and I were standing out on the balcony and heard the "sounds". It sounded just like these videos; I seemed to come from the sky. It was creepy sounding, very intense, not like the Tallahassee video but more like the other ones. My brother, being a jokester, said "oh great the autobots are coming". Tomorrow is his birthday, I miss him. RIP Andrew. 😭
Edit: it's after midnight. It IS his bday. Happy heavenly bday, bud 😢
RIP and happy birthday to your brother ❤️
How did he die?
Rip and hbd
Happy Birthday Andrew!!

I have closed captions on and it read ‘Finish snow crunching’. Does Finish snow sound different than other snow? Lol

The production of this channel is stellar. It feels like legit TV shows. Good work all of you-Shane, Steven, Ryan, and the crew. Good on you!
