7 Eerie Sounds Recorded in the Deep Ocean

Modern hydrophone technology has allowed for more deep ocean audio recording in the past several decades than ever before-- but these advancements have also yielded some haunting sounds, some of which remain unidentified. These are seven of those sounds.

Music by Jim Gifford:
Track one: "The Endless Cathedral"

What else lurks within the abyss?

When you gonna start making creepy pastas again?

[brendanlemming]

Sure we have a cable deep enough to reach the bottom of the ocean but apple cant make a cable long enough for me to lay down comfortable in my bed

[ZombieCraft-dsbm]

This is what I like, no dialogue. Really sets the mood and makes me want to hear the sound instead of skipping over the dialogue and finding the actually sound

[tdawgdawgonson]

The scariest part is that most of these sounds are such a low frequency that you would mostly feel it rather than hear it

I’m a saturation diver. (I inspect and build underwater utility, simplest description I can give). On some jobs I’m pressurized for a long time and I remember on a oil rig I was I think 200 feet down, & I remember hearing something and I look at my coworker and said what (we have a radio) and he said “I thought you said something” then we went quiet. We heard for like 3-5 minutes of what sounded like very muffled talking. Couldn’t make out any words, but it had the cadence of someone or something speaking. I’ve heard whales, I’ve heard so much that we usually can come up with a explanation, but this is the only time none of us can explain. It was so Erie and just completely weird. I’ve heard so many audio recordings online of what people say is “talking” but those sound like tooling, or equipment settling. With us, we where working for hours, everything was locked out and that noise just came from everywhere. Just felt like sharing a weird experience I had while diving.

scientist: “BLOOP” creepy and eerie sound we don’t know what this is

me: haha fish fart

[JonathanHernandez-smnq]

I don’t know why I tried to *NOT* blink to “hear the sounds better”

[okami]

I always felt so bad for the 52 Hertz Whale, being alone since the 80's must be horrible.

[thictiger]

Ahh making me scared of the ocean. My favorite pastime

[domja]

I think it's the scariest thing I can think of. The darkness, the pressure, the monsters of the deep, unable to breath. No horror movie can come close to the Ocean.

[Luvmegg]

I think the 52 Hertz Whale is more sad than scary. if it is a whale of unknown origin, it might be the last of its kind. just knowing that audio might be the last and only time we hear something like it again means the whale will probably be alone forever

[TheBlazeingPony]

As a sonar technician in the navy, the most terrifying thing about these is it reminds me of being out to sea.

[jacksbackyardbbq]

The audio TRAIN is the scariest to me because I just imagine a huge train at the bottom of the ocean making these sounds.

[franilovic]

Scientists be like: hmmmm... this sound sounds like hell. Lets name it Julia!

[Orbloon]

The sound of being underwater is making feel like i cant breath

[daviddykema]

1:55 "....come swim with me...."

[purplehaze]

Imagine lowering audio equipment in the water, only for you to hear _Country Roads_ over it.

[subsbeforenothing]

imagine there's a voice saying " i like ya cut, g"

[kingcrimson]

Ocean: makes sound


Scientists: Ice Ice Baby

I've been living under a rock for such a long time. Discovered your channel like 2 hours ago and have been binge watching a lot of your videos, currently doing this one. It's so cool all the weird stuff you can find in the ocean. Congrats, you've earned a new subscriber!
