Strange Noises Heard Around The World Could Have Scientific Explanation

Dan Koelsch,

Earlier this week, we reported on a phenomenon sweeping the Internet in which strange noises were heard around the world. These roars/groans from the sky are a bit frightening, which may have contributed to videos of the occurance flooding YouTube (along with many hoaxes). While we considered the idea that the sounds were some kind of marketing ploy, we now have at least one scientific explanation that might resolve this issue. Find out after the jump.

I was surfing YouTube last night when I found the video below. It’s a news report from Canadian channel CTV that talks about the sounds.

The professor in the clip explains that the sounds are coming from the Aurora Borealis (aka the Northern Lights) causing electromagnetic noise within nearby environmental antennas. It sounds a bit like the Roswell weather ballon explanation to me, especially since these noises have not been heard before (at least not recently, since this is the first time the Internet has been up in arms about it). What do you think? Is this a good explanation?

  1. The noises have been heard before. early sept of 2011 and early 2005 at a baseball game. Plus with it being 2012 people are already on edge for one “supernatural” occurance to happend to spook other

  2. you guys can say wathever you want , i heard those noises today i Miami, FL at 2;30 pm and i don’t need to lie!

  5. I heard the noise..kept me up 1/27 in Central Wisconsin.  Am willing to believe there is a logical explanation, such as electromagnetic activity. But, I’ve never heard anything like it before in my life.  It’s definitely not a boom box, as some suggest.  Don’t want to hear it again either. Very creppy.

  6. I feel like in star ways and it says “nothing to see here, move along, move along”

    I am just saying….

  9. I heard the noises also, & I think it is from the big alignment of the planets that is coming sometime this year. It’s pulling the Earth from the poles & affecting  our electro-magnetic field which woulde affect the Aurora Borealis. The first thing my boyfriend said when he heard it was that it sounded like a trumpet. That gave me chills all over my body!

  10. The only thing that bothers me about this are the nuclear power plants that are going to be affected by it.

  11. it one of the sign that our savor is coming back people we need to be ready for it wether you want to believe it or not its the truth 

  12. I heard it too… this morning around 7am to 2pm… It what we call as boom sound. At first I thought it from refrigerator but it’s not. The sound seem from outside and louder when we stand near the window. It’s rare. Before, a sound like that was from my refrigerator or fish tank engine in my house. Weird and strange…

  13. Wednesday, February 8th, 2,012.Men of Planet Earth(and those of the rib), hear me if ya will:-I am an amateur scientist. I think I know what is causing these strange sounds. Despite my humourous opening, what I have to say is MOST GRAVELY serious! So eyes down – LOOKING!!　The noise IS The Last Trump(et).It is(I am pretty sure)caused by The Earth’s WOBBLE – which peaks every 6,500 years. On Dec.21st, 2,012.(Within a year.) Producing Centrifugal Force. Which is HEAVING the entire Earth UPWARDS. Causing earthquakes,volcanic eruptions, Extreme heat, and cold, sink-holes,cracks in the ground – and now these weird noises. Around The Ring of Fire, or near to it. Centred opposite The Hawaian Islands.(I have plotted the positions on Mercador map – straight band around centre of world. AND on a globe of The Earth. Time line seems to be SEQUENTIAL, moving clockwise around The Rim of Fire.The sound we hear, world wide,is REAL. It is caused by the Earth’s crust STRETCHING. Making all the rocks STRETCH. Producing a dreadful cacophany of sound WORLD WIDE.It is the heralding noise of The Acopalyse. Peaking within a year or two.EXPECT nine tenths of ALL life and structures upon The Earth to be DESTROYED, horrifically.Poseidon,in Atlantic Ocean, wrongly called Atlantis(Antarctica was Atlantis!), was the last time that The Wobble peaked. It is THE END OF THIS AGE.(Not of The World.)　Expect noise to get worse and distasters increase exponentially, producing a polar shift. Followed by a PHYSICAL Earth Inversion!!FOUR cataclysms will occur. 1. First caused by Earth’s Wobble peaking. 2. Second CATACLYSM caused by NIBIRU(Planet X) – now approaching us FAST.3. Third cataclysm could be caused by The Galactic Alignment.4. And the fourth “cataclysm” – by the RE-ACTION by humans and animals to The Age of Aquarius.　ALL four cataclysms centred on December 21st, 2,012. First cataclysm to start some time this(2,012.A.D.) year. And proceed for some years.　　Followed by Ice Era.　Then comes ICE AGE. Lasting hundreds of years. Back to The Stone Age,etc!!　PREPARE NOW!!　Get GOOD portable giant PRIMUS stoves!!　Yuk,yuk.　I jest thee NOT!!　　　Escape down North Geographical Pole!　Or take your chances with mass landing of aliens soon(to evacuate best half)!!　　Eek!　　　　Now ya know!!　Vic.(My Webee name.)Ah.　　

  14. I’ve heard the sound myself, but do not believe it’s the northern lights at all. They’ve been around for years, why know with the noises. Some of the things don’t add up from other news sights and what others have said about this. For me I’m in the middle of what to really think of the sound, the location moves and can seem real close or far off in the distance. That’s what makes it seem like a hoax or lie. I think if you just listen very carefully you will hear it. That is what I had to do. Also I think if these sounds are so called “Normal” and have been around for a long time, also the internet has been around for some time now. How come out of the blue we are recording and hearing these things.
