So....strange noises from the sun?

[Wadatsumi]

Well, after stumbling across it, I am just asking if you believe this comes all from the sun? I surely think this is the truth, but what about the animals? It is very interesting to think abaout how dolphins and birds may be influenced by the sun.

Of one thing I'm certain - I'd be so afraid, cause these noises are so creepy....

Have you experienced some of these phenomenas yourself?

The same thing was reported from many different places all over the world.

I think there's an ep of Doctor Who that addresses that...

i still think it's some random person or persons blaring creepy noises from different places ...

This was explained when it was first posted to reddit

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/strange-sounds-in-terrace-b-c-spark-stranger-theories-1.1374238
"On Friday afternoon city spokesperson Alisa Thompson said she had a simpler explanation — it was a city worker grinding down the blade on a grader.   

"The grader blade needed to be straightened. Kind of gets ground down, and it makes a very strange noise. It's as simple as that," said Thompson."

Here's the origional reddit post

I'd say at least it for sure sounds like metal on metal

[Wadatsumi]

so why is this then heard over many different areas on our planet? same plot as with the crop circles? it is a fact though that the suns activity intensed in the last years - is it so fantastic that the lightparticles between litos- and stratosphere could create noises? it is a given that light has unique physical characteristics (water too, but it isn't so awesome)

Hmm.  I don't know what to think about it.  I'm a big-time skeptic.

[kamakazee82]

... it's not light ... or why isn't it heard EVERYWHERE on the planet ...

... it happened one place ... creeped people out ... jerkfaces on the internet thought it was funny, recorded the sound to play really loudly from some obscure location around them and it's spreading like that stupid viral junk spreads ... so yeah at some places it's explainable as a really random actual event (straightening/sharpening a grinder) and then idiots thought it was funny to freak people out and ran with it all over the world ...

... if it was light, again why does it not happen EVERYWHERE ... why the sudden start/stop ... why do some places report it at night ... etc etc so on and so forth ...

... its jerks being jerks to amuse themselves ...

... as for animals being affected by the sun ... we all are, plants/animals (humans included) ... but it's more light/warmth/energy based than 'ooooooh creepy noises compel me ..." ... animals use the sun (and other things like magnetic poles) to help them migrate at the correct times ... plants use the sun to grow/blossom/go dormant at the correct times (as well as temperatures) ... the sun doesn't 'speak to them' and literally tell them what to do ... and animals will spook and act strangely at the advent of any unusual sound ... look at the people freaking out over a sound ... a SOUND ... *facepalm* ... from some bored jerks who get a kick out of freaking people out ...

It can be heard in different areas because they are probably also doing the same type of work where they are grinding metal on Metal.  In this BC town there are lots of hills / mountains for the sound to echo and it's likely the case else ware.

If you ever listen to a car with very bad breaks or listen to a dryer with a bearing that's going the sound is similar, just way more amplified.

Looks like its been explained, though if you didn't know, I can see possibly being freaked out

[lovesbabysquirmy]

I've heard the explanation that it's the metal in the earth's crust beneath us just shifting around, but I don't know if that phenomenon would create any kind of sound. 

[Eldarwen]

I know I would freak out if I heard that noise.  Im almost getting scared just by that video, but Im easily scared by this stuff..

[Dainty]

I saw that too- but it's definitely the grader. Once I heard that and listened to it again it was pretty obvious!
There's no way it would be sounds from the sun or the crust or anything. When you hear something like this that sounds so creepy you might want to think its something more supernatural or with a not common explanation but the explanation they gave does make sense!! :3

I guess the sun's got a bad case of GAS.

I kill myself.

[kaoskat]

Never heard of such a thing before, but admittedly I rarely pay attention to anything that isn't pink or sparkly.

[Shaiyeh]

The two suns is a rare light phenomena, and the others... well, I agree with what others have said in the thread.

Nature is weird, the universe is weird, and in whatever extent deities exist, they're weird, and we will never fully understand them anyway. Just because something unusual happens doesn't mean the world is ending! We've lived past every end of the world, including 12/12/12, so I think we can handle a bit of, like Rozen said, "sun GAS"...
(seriously, you crack me up )
