What type of sounds did NOAA hear?
The following unidentified sounds have been detected by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) using its Equatorial Pacific Ocean autonomous hydrophone array.
- Upsweep.
- Whistle.
- Bloop.
- Julia.
- Slow Down.
- Train.
What was the Julia noise?
Iceberg Grounding on Seafloor (Julia) This sound was recorded on March 1, 1999 on the eastern equatorial Pacific autonomous hydrophone array. The most likely source of the sound formerly known as “Julia” is a large iceberg that has run aground off Antarctica.
What was the Upsweep sound?
Spectrogram of the unexplained sound known as Upsweep. Upsweep has been around since 1991, and according to NOAA the origin of the sound is unresolved. The most likely explanation for the sound offered thus far is that it’s the result of underwater volcanic activity.
Does The Bloop still exist?
Dziak explained to us the NOAA’s findings, and confirmed that “the frequency and time-duration characteristics of the Bloop signal are consistent, and essentially identical, to icequake signals we have recorded off Antarctica”.
What animal is the Bloop?
The blue whale
The Bloop has been catalogued alongside other weird sounds. The blue whale is the biggest animal on the planet. This week, Londoners jumped out of their beds to what many described as “three bomb-like booms accompanied by blinding white light”.
What is the bloop monster?
The Bloop was the sound of an icequake—an iceberg cracking and breaking away from an Antarctic glacier! With global warming, more and more icequakes occur annually, breaking off glaciers, cracking and eventually melting into the ocean.
What is the biggest sea creature?
The Antarctic blue whale
The Antarctic blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus ssp. Intermedia) is the biggest animal on the planet, weighing up to 400,000 pounds (approximately 33 elephants) and reaching up to 98 feet in length.
Are sea monsters real?
Hundreds of years ago, European sailors told of a sea monster called the kraken that could toss ships into the air with its many long arms. Today we know sea monsters aren’t real–but a living sea animal, the giant squid, has 10 arms and can grow longer than a school bus.
Is the ocean loud?
The ocean has become a very noisy place. The world’s seas are much louder than they were in pre-industrial times, “becoming more and more a raucous cacophony as the noise from human activity has grown louder and more prevalent,” according to a study published Thursday.
