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.

[@user_abuser7]

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.

[@bobskewer1874]

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.

[@salenebrom6476]

This

[@noah-xu7uq]

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

[@Vagitarian01]

Like nature's version of blowing across an empty beer bottle.

[@nazer9]

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.)

[@danieg1431]

Shane's imitation of the Northern Lights' sounds are actually really accurate

[@kiriraganna]

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.

[@EtherealWonders1216]

​@kiriraganna they are talking about the sound they make in some fancy science way, I think Neil degrasse Tyson made a video on it

[@kiriraganna]

@@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".

[@michaelshannon8046]

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.

[@atm94404]

Was is on like the first Tuesday of the month? That's probably a nearby town testing the tornado siren.

[@namenotfound3613]

[@ulyssesk]

​@@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.

[@MadMage1993]

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.

[@goner1179]

Damn but why is she your ex fiancé ? What happened buddy 😔

[@ichmeiner4531]

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.

[@ichmeiner4531]

@@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.

[@FukaiKokoro]

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.

[@ichmeiner4531]

@@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.

[@kats9755]

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.

[@savyspicy]

In islam aswell..

[@teresayates8274]

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.

[@sapphicscavenger7937]

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.

[@henrietta5969]

​@@teresayates8274can't be sure 🤷‍♂️

[@cristinbuskard9250]

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]

[@olliesadventures185]

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

[@vregsharmodan3333]

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.

[@AnEmu404]

⁠@@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.

[@JayFolipurba]

@@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)

[@hhhajima]

@@vregsharmodan3333Actually, the sounds were also reportedly heard in the Philippines and even made the local news. I remember watching it as a child.

[@sydneyl164]

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.

[@r3znor_x]

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

[@debbiehenri345]

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.

[@kings4300]

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

[@Crying2Death]

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

[@NyikoDoris]

was it a train?

[@berilaykut]

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.

[@realAniram]

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.

Some of these where actually concrete cutters that make an extremely loud noise. The one in BC was exactly that.

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

[@TG-nd9rj]

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.

[@laurencole2937]

[@johnplaysgames3120]

@@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.

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.

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 😭💀

[@winstonbbailey8740]

meh, probably aliens. so what's for lunch?

[@claranadine1086]

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.

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

[@nyver8845]

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]

What do you mean? Did you hear this sound when you were a kid?

[@nyver8845]

@@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 😅

[@MrTuneless]

​@@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

[@nyver8845]

@@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 😭

[@Anton-qc1fk]

@@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.

[@kernjames]

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.

[@HermicraftAddict]

I lived by a railroad. One of the sounds do sound like it.

[@Ava-cq1zi]

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).

[@HermicraftAddict]

@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.

[@cats1970]

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.

[@mateokarlvonpavlovic8295]

​@@HermicraftAddictyes and there couldnt ve jets I also heard couple of them this sounds were far Lauder might be UFOs or some communication.

[@emmactxo]

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!

[@trystinlindsay5674]

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.

[@sourgreendolly7685]

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!

[@robynpitts8913]

yes!! I was hoping someone would mention this

[@punkfaerieprincet]

I'm an indigenous person native to Turtle Island and came here to say this lol

[@aceaster2657]

Came to comments to see if anyone said this, yall dont dissapoint

[@mamaseraph3854]

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.

[@mdogmatt5793]

As in the wild hunt from the Witcher?

[@junoismad]

ive heard something similar twice. once it was during an incredibly windy day, back when my apartament complex was still under construction, and the huge cranes just made those noises. the second time, it was a perfectly sunny, calm day on the other side of the country. still have no idea what that one was

[@mossalto]

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.

[@poke-talia268]

Oh man the sound of trains braking when the tracks are covered in ice, that's terrifying.

[@EB-yx4fn]

Agreed - I'm miles from the tracks but some nights they still screech loud enough to wake me up.

[@thrasherali-ns2842]

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 😅

[@hobosapiensSinceShadowMoses]

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

[@markc2643]

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.

[@stoupkid2433]

I really like how this show is a good in-between of Ryan and Shayne's respective shows. I also love how this can vary every episode, just a bunch of cool or unusual stories. Great show guys

[@mapache-ehcapam]

I heard this around 2012 here in Chile, we all heard it in our town, we were surprised when later we saw in the news that people all over the country and world heard the same sound. There is definitely some weird shit behind this.

[@filmfiends4997]

I’ve heard it once before getting home late from work. It was about midnight and was so loud it was deafening. Hindsight I should have recorded it but I was honestly scared to death. I had no clue what was happening. Glad I’m not the only one to hear it

[@Caster279]

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.

[@nickialaskanyogi]

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!

[@Milo33333]

I was hoping someone would say this! It's the Earth's crust moving. The poles are shifting, and have been.

[@insert_artist_here532]

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

[@rivergaudettemcdonald4271]

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. 😊

[@christinamarie4757]

Ah yes, the Anchorage Horns...

[@duanephelan5841]

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

[@duanephelan5841]

19:14 well I commented on this before finishing the episode

[@keithfriestad3949]

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.

[@richmondvand147]

Yup, there was a long running phenomena around lake Erie - turned out it was a factory on the US side of the border

[@Cheshire_Cat137]

@@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.

[@kaepiper]

@@Cheshire_Cat137 that’s what gets me! bc i feel like a lot of these could be explained by figuring out what could’ve been happening in the surrounding areas like trains or pipes being cleaned. i left a comment abt too n i said you’d think the local areas would be able to report back to ppl if it could be easily explained like that. i think it probably varies case by case. i’m sure some of the videos have been debunked, they just didn’t talk abt them

[@31seas]

I saw someone (and there’s probably a lot more) sharing their own experiences with these types of noises so I wanted to contribute! 2 things, I live by train tracks and definitely ALL of these could by trains although I believe they were other natural phenomena, trains make the loudest most haunting f-ed up noises sometimes. Then also, one day a few years ago my family was just hanging out in our living room in the second story of an apartment building, when there was this insanely loud ear splitting popping/banging noise, my whole body reacted because it was so loud, and eventually I got out of my crouch and looked at my mom who was equally horrified. We checked our tv/dvd console then the outside(balcony), but had no idea where the noise came from. The weirdest thing was that my dad who was in the same room didn’t hear it at all. I really can’t describe how loud it was. After the shock went away I was sure it came from outside.

[@31seas]

After reading some more of the stories.. those were not trains.. but the ones in these videos all sounded like it!

[@trellia_art]

Heard these sounds in the 80's. I was like 4 years old and I was playing at my neighbor's. I remember panicking hearing this but my friend's father didn't seem phased.
