if it is a minke whale its deffinitly a new species probably with a larger or unusually shaped resonating chamber as that sound is weird and alien even for a minke whale and those things makes some really crazy noises.

My Subwoofer is picking up some cycles of low frequencies. Very Bizarre, you can hear a voice. Zzzzip Zzzip, Zzzip. Strangest noise Ive ever heard.

[ilyavig]

now that is some real dubstep bassy sound:)

[Interceptor]

Is it weird that i like this sound?
Especially with that bass.

[laurelcook]

The ending of the sound resembles the weird sounds that seals make... maybe these are all animals all along.

NOPE that's just the band practicing for their new concert

That sound at the start is a Brynes whale not minke whale.Minkes produce the star wars fans sound

[ryansmith-sounddesigner]

Wouldn’t this be from a Bryde’s whale?

Sounds like a low human voice at the end of the clip just before it loops back, but that could easily just be auditory pareidolia.

[lauralaurengarcia]

when I sped it up it sounds like its saying "what is it?" at the end lol

[Fish-pilv]

Why does it kind of sound like submarine sonar. That shit is terrifying☠️

[luckyhardeep]

[thefirstbreed]

Reminds me of Star Trek 4, the one about whales.

[sparaxisblanc]

Now people are saying it's a Bryde's whale.

[Bornneverdie]

could a whale live in those depths, and with such a high

[Rowletwantsyourlocation]

The ghost leviathans making weird sounds to try to intimidate reaper leviathans, definitely.

We know more about outer space than we know about the ocean, I'll be swimming in the ocean one day I swear some ginormous sea monster the size of New York City that made this noise will snatch me and that's it.
