[@georgenathanlott]

Phantom signals on science Channel said the statues were making the sound at dawn because of the morning dew was evaporating and wind was blowing through the cracks in the statue. This is why it stopped singing when they were repaired.

[@TheSassygrasshopper]

As a Canadian living in the north I can say that I’ve personally seen the Northren Lights on many occasions and they are absolutely beautiful. The further North you go the more wild they are but even the lesser ones are spectacular to view.

I hear mysterious booms every 4th of July and the FBI still won't take my phone calls.

[@tombruner9634]

I was a sonar technician on submarines in the late 80s/early 90s. Though I did deploy into the Pacific in the early 90s, I do not recall finding the upsweep noise and am not sure if we were alerted to it or not. There a lot of known, yet unexplained, noises in the oceans. Some were eventually explained, like the "ice merchant." Sonar technicians can identify common ships, like merchants and trawlers, just by listening to them - no analyzer needed, just a sonar system with some headphones. In most cases the technician can tell how many blades a screw (propeller) has and how fast it is turning just by listening to it. So in the early days of nuclear submarines prowling the arctic they were hearing merchant ships with four-bladed screws turning at a rate consistent with merchant ships, but there should have been no large merchant ships in the arctic. It turned out that it was just the noise made as ice melts and shifts, and the regular pattern was caused by a phenomenon that is now well-understood. Another was the "carpenter fish." This mystery was solved sometime mid-career for me. There was some sort of biologic that made a sound like dozens of carpenters hammering away at something. At first it was thought to be man made, but was not as regular as the ice merchant, so no turn counts and eventually they decided it was some sort of fish. This was not quite correct though. It turned out to be a type of baleen whale (mammal, not fish) and the hammering sound was the sound made as the creature forced krill-laden water through the baleen. I'm not absolutely what species, or if it was any baleen whale. There were many other sounds that remained mysteries as of when I would have been listening out for them.

Simon, thanks for covering one of my favorite ‘mysteries’! Sky trumpets and Seneca guns are especially eerie.

I live near a small country town in Australia and I sometimes hear a spooky sound . Found out it was a Bronzewing pigeon not so so spooky now.

[@KrepsyK]

There should be way more curious people in this world. I love these.

[@JennRighter]

I thought the U.S. booms were almost universally accepted as the sounds of fracking. I lived in Ohio and I heard the booms multiple times. It sounded like a combination of thunder and some kind of metal. And it was LOUD, very loud, and echoed over the hills where I lived. It’s an area known for fracking as well as the region where most of the reports of the sounds come from.

[@remalm3670]

... I've heard the Northern Lights before when in Norway. It's Eerie yet really cool ... kind of soothing ...

[@blaneah986]

Omg the BOOMS! Over the past month I’ve heard three distinct, LOUD booms in my smallish town in South Texas. They sounded like a cannon going off outside my house, but I can’t seem to pinpoint where, as in, from which direction. After the first two I went outside expecting to see the power out somewhere from a blown transformer or smoke/flames from an explosion, but nope, nothing. I’d think I was hallucinating if not for the last one when my roommates were both home and heard it as well. I’ve been wondering about it for weeks now... really freaked me out.

[@skipscramble5915]

Those really were mysterious sounding. I can’t even remember hearing any of them!

[@demonprinces17]

Was hoping to hear them

[@laurendoe168]

We have only five senses - sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. Three of these can almost always have their sources easily discerned; only sound and smell may be difficult to identify.

[@shebbs1]

Plus is you want to get technical we have more than five senses. One example is detecting heat, which doesn't fall into the purview of any of the others, at times.

[@laurendoe168]

@@shebbs1 Sensing heat can be considered touch. I will grant, though, that determining exactly where it is coming from is not always easy.

[@jaredkennedy6576]

When I was in the Midland Texas area there was a weird sound. It was an extremely low frequency, 16-18hz, and about the volume of a normal conversation. Southern Idaho has "sky quakes". I have experienced one of these, and it generally gets blamed on military aircraft out of Mountain Home exceeding the speed of sound. It's a loud bang, and in the case of the one I experienced it shook the building a bit.

[@johnfitzpatrick6544]

The next video will be of "Mysterious Lights in the Sky" which will be audio only.

[@danielbigham6290]

I moved to Alaska in the nineties. When I first saw the aurora, I was enthralled. I questioned a local resident about the noises (plural) and they disagreed about whether there were any. For years I heard the hiss Simon mentioned, but also a lower volume sound akin to shattered glass falling on a surface.

[@Samsquamsh]

lol I lived in Alaska my whole life and spent many winter nights outdoors. Never heard that before...

[@deemariedubois4916]

When I hear a mysterious boom in my countryside, I just assumed someone blew themself up in a meth lab and immediately hope no children were there when it happened.

I'm just here to comment that I've heard the "Sky Trumpets" phenomena, in Ohio, about 9 years ago. Almost sounded like a boat horn, but it vibrated the ground and set off railroad crossings. Lasted maybe 1.5-2 seconds, but it was possibly the most mysterious thing to ever happen to me

[@jacobdrum]

Yeah, would have been nice to hear the sounds involved.

[@disideratum]

Awesome that you included Aurora sounds but would’ve been nice to hear some samples. Just for clarification, there are allegedly sounds that can be picked up by the human ear that are static like. The really interesting sounds from Aurora are picked up by VLF radio. Same with Saturn. They sound very sci-fi. If there’s ever a video done relating to this topic you can find open source samples at University of Iowa‘s website. Just please be sure to add proper citations for them. Bonus fact: VLF radio is sometimes referred to as “natural radio “and pick up sounds made from lightning strikes called “Whistlers”😉

Sounds so mysterious they couldn't be contained within this video. This drop in quality for Simon's videos is probably directly correlated to the number of other projects he has going on as that same drop is not exhibited on his other channels. He's clearly lost interest in making a quality top 10 list.
