Strange sounds in the sky?

Idjit

So my little brother heard some really weird sounds in the sky last night, he said they sounded like trumpets or something. He looked it up and found that it's been happening all over the world since early 2011.

They are really eerie sounding, whatever they are. Anyone else on OH hear them in your late night meanderings?
Any thoughts on what they could be?

chinese lanterns

AnonoBoy

Weather balloons.


Or else monsters.

smash

Wrath of the Titans!

Bipolar Joe

fishy fishy

thats the rainmaker

They all sound like stock 'scary noises' from the B-movie sound effects library. Probably viral marketing for some new movie.

It could be some form of unmanned flying vehicle for surveillance, especially if it was up North. Something smaller and less visually conspicuous than a helicopter.

It was probably the BBC Sound Effects Volume 1.

I heard a theory that it's the sound of magnetic waves from the northern lights.

I'd put in a movie reference but seeing as it happens at the end of the movie its a MASSIVE spoiler so i'll be quiet

Norn Iron video; not sure. Probably the PSNI spying on you.
Worldwide video; sounds like cars going by at high speed, and/or echos from cars in a tunnel environment.

Where To

It's the sound of the pumps from sewerage treatment plants.

Boring answer I know, but it's the truth.

I wonder if we'd notice the beginning of the Apocalypse. Its been a while since I heard what the signs are. But floods, famine, pestilence etc are in there somewhere. Just looking at a report on landslide in UK and thinking of all the flooding around the world in the past year, it got me thinking about whether or not we'd notice if the Apocalypse had begun.

Do you think the public would notice or would we all be waiting for a televised announcement?

marcsignal

worldwide on sounds more like a big outdoor gig sound check

edit @ 1:36 anyway

Oh no, the aliens are coming. We are all doomed :pac:

I heard it last night in Dublin and I live near the Quays in Dublin 2. It sounded like a low flying jet to me but I saw no planes in the sky.

If you actually believe in the Apocalypse then read The Book of Revelations (as a work of imaginative fiction, it's not bad). You don't think people would notice the following?

"Hail and fire, mingled with blood"
"Something that resembles a great mountain, burning with fire, falls from the sky and lands in the ocean."
A great star, named Wormwood, falls from heaven and poisons a third of the rivers and springs of water""

Didn't hear it myself but there's a thread here asking if the fog horn in Dun Laoghaire has been reactivated.

Similar sound was heard in Waterford a good few months back, there was a thread in the Waterford city forum.

A bit weird alright. Strange sounds seem to be heard a lot as of late in Ireland. 3 seperate threads, and then there's that hum in Kerry.

It's probably all the in-ear headphone use in recent years finally starting to cause tinnitus.
Get your ears checked!

That or the sound of the IMF repossessing the clouds.

It's not really the Apocalypse, it's just information spreads faster these days.

PS: Apocalypse is a fairy tale. Made by humans to control other humans.

Yer ma, blast with piss etc. I don't actually believe in the Apocalypse(apologies in advance to any Gods I may have piste off) and I would notice, I'm very nosey like that. However, selective blindness is very common these days, I'm always amazed at just how much people don't notice going on around them.

Not really

It wouldn't fall gently in a nice discerning lumbering fashion. It would be travelling in excess of 10000 mph, much much faster then a bullet. So if you lived long enough to process what just happened you would have thought a big yellow or red laser as thick as a "mountain" hit the planet.

I think this whole thing is a hoax or some sort of promotion. Now that is has gone viral, people's imagination will hear more of these off around the world.

Like the dead bird thing year, it went from a bird kill to an apocalypse in a few days.

it's the rapture people!!! We are all ****ed but at least it has wiped the smirk off the faces off all those smug atheists,not so smart anymore lads.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

It's obviously just Liam Neeson passing some gas.

But in all seriousness I heard a similar sound when I was walking home early one morning, really weird

skyflyer

It was foggy last night, so it's probably a foghorn somewhere.
