ARTICLE(S):
[QUOTE=Costa Rica News Site][B]With the runaway success of my two other stories on the subject of strange noises being heard across the world – most recently Costa Rica – that remain 100% unexplained by science and equally for the devout religious population. This does not mean they are not trying their hardest to pin it on one or the other mind you.
[/B]
[B]Early Monday morning around midnight, Costa Ricans from Herida, in the Central Valley, all the way to Perez Zeledon and Dominical, heard was sounded oddly similar to ocean waves. Not natural ocean waves mind you, more metallic in nature.[/B]
[B]Costa Rica news outlets were quick to dismiss the strange noise as nothing more than reverberation from fireworks at the final night of the Zapote Fair. It is important to note however that, Zapote is located in the Central Valley near downtown San Jose in the middle of the country. Perez Zeledon is over one of the most treacherous high mountain ranges in the country by 3 hour drive time. Highly unlikely any fireworks going off in Zapote would be heard this far south, some 150kms away.
[/B]
For the most part the strange sounds heard Monday morning have been all but forgotten in Costa Rica yet the Internet remains alive with hyper-activity on people looking for answers to the weird noises being heard, not only in Costa Rica, [B][U]but the world over.[/U][/B]
In contrast to the direction in which the Costa Rica news were heading, [I][B]Internet banter has mostly taken the religious direction.[/B][/I]
Then again, even the news channels in Costa Rica were injecting biblical innuendo in to their stories by talking about the strange noises as being “apocalyptic” and talked about how the Bible foretold of it. This fueled the religious angle even more.
Now, here we are, a few days have passed and you can’t help but to notice how the article “Strange Sound Heard Throughout Costa Rica” has turned in to all out religion based debate. Everything from being Shofar Ram’s Horn, to Planet X and the prophets of Jerusalem. Don’t be surprised in the slightest at even a few references to the film Independence Day and War of the Worlds.
This video was shot in Colorado by a couple hikers on August 22, 2012. Now this one could be likened to the sound of a drum or trumpet sound. One thing…there’s no denying it’s ominous beat.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=The Borneo Post]KOTA SAMARAHAN: Unexplained chilling sounds, which filled the air of Samarahan in the wee hours of Jan 11 and 12, have residents there puzzled and perturbed until today.
One of the theories being thrown into the pan is that it could be a by-product of the [B]High Frequency Active Auroral Research Programme (HAARP)[/B] undertaken by the United States, [B]while others believed it were from processing machines hard at work at an oil palm factory owned by Felcra in Kampung Endap.[/B]
[B]
But the fact remains that until today the mysterious sounds, which some say resembled loud snoring sounds, remain veiled.[/B]
[B]Teacher Mohd Ferdauz Jemain, who lives at Kampung Meranek, was one of those who heard the unexplained phenomenon on Jan 11.
“It was around 2 am when I was awoken by a strange sound. It was a loud hushing sound,
and quite similar to someone snoring.
“I immediately got out of bed and went outside of my house to see what was happening. The feeling was a chilling one. I could not establish where the sound was coming from … it was as if something coming from the sky.
“Frightened, I quickly dashed inside, but stayed awake till daylight as I would not sleep any longer. If I am not mistaken, the sound persisted until about 5am.”[/B]
To prove that he was not spinning a tale, [B]Ferdauz said he had recorded the phenomenon on his mobile phone[/B], and he played it for thesundaypost reporter yesterday.
He added that the matter became a hot topic of discussion in Samarahan that day, and
some of the residents even documented their experience on Facebook.
[B]“Villagers in Meranek, Pinang, Sindang, Tambirat and even those living at Desa Ilmu housing estate have also heard those eerie sounds.”[/B]
[B]Several residents suggested that it could have come from the oil palm factory in Kampung Endap, but resident Harith Amin, who had worked at that factory previously, brushed it off as nonsense.[/B]
“The factory has been there for the last eight years, and I am sure it was not sounds produced by the machines there. In addition to that, no oil palm processing machines could produce sounds which could be heard 8km away,” said Harith, who also made a recording of what he had witnessed. To verify Harith’s theory, Ferdauz decided that should the phenomenon occur again the next day, he would make a dash for the factory.
Ferdauz: “I worked at a school in Sebuyau, so I wake up very early to go to school. True enough, the strange sounds happened the next day, and I quickly made a stop in front of the factory. No sounds came out from there (factory).”
[I][B]Ferdauz claimed that he also saw strange pattern in the skies in the early morning of Jan 12.
“The clouds appeared to be in straight lines, and well formed. I have never seen anything like it, but whatever it is, I am sure there must be a scientific explanation for it.
“But later that day, an earthquake hit Sumatera in neighbouring Indonesia with a magnitude of 7.3 on the Richter scale. I am not sure whether both incidents are related in some ways.”
The incidents only occurred for two nights – Jan 11 and 12.[/B][/I]
Meanwhile, Kampung Meranek’s JKKK chairperson Mahmud Pawi, who claimed that he also heard the sounds together with his family, said hoped that the authorities concerned could shed light on the matter.
[I][B]
“When I woke up that morning (Jan 11), I had goose bumps just listening to the sounds. I quickly woke up my entire family and we sat at the veranda trying to figure out what it was and where it was coming from.
[/B][/I]
“We hope that someone can step forward and enlighten us with an explanation.”

[B]TL;DR[/B]
Weird sounds all over, people are pinning it on the Apocalypse End Days as a sign that we be approaching doomsday, no scientific explanation found for it yet--speculation is either it was an earthquake or a dormant volcano. Although, no tectonic plate activity was detected during the time frame, the volcano theory is unverified.
[H2] VIDEOS OF THE SOUND: [/H2]
SKIP TO 1:26, It is a recording of the pure audio--almost sounds like Silent Hill.

[h2] Also, a video of the Real Sound and a RECREATED-REPRODUCTED one generated by synth. Reminds me of Stalker. [/h2]

[B]Extra-tidbit from me: I don't know what to make of it, fake or otherwise. But, I do know something--It's best to spend as much time as possible with the people you love, lately. I don't believe in doomsday theories or 2012 or anything, but who knows? You could die tomorrow or maybe even in the next hour. Bottom-line, start the year as a fresh one--Change your negative ways, spend time with loved ones, and just live it up. [/B]
Sensationalist bonus points awarded!
its big machinery being echoed through distance which ends up sounding very strange.
Weren't these confirmed to be a practical joke?
Pretty creepy, almost certainly fake though.
I know Facepunch is pretty against reddit, but these are pretty informative on the subject.

Bit rash, don't you think? It's just some freaky noises, doesn't mean anything in particular. No need to get worried over it.
[sp]just say "jinxed it" motherfucker I goddamn dare you[/sp]
It sounds less like machinery and more like some violent gas venting or something. But more than likely it's not Crysis.
Absolutely fake, it just sounds too clean

I wasn't specifically referring to the sounds. That, It's just noise with no real meaning for the most part. I guess I got sentimental for a second, because I just read the obituaries.
[QUOTE=Reader;34320319]Absolutely fake, it just sounds too clean[/QUOTE]
You have to admit it sounds a lot like Crysis when the mountain is starting to unveil the mothership thing.

People: Video quality too pixelated+horrible audio = Fake
Video quality perfect+audio too crisp = Fake
People will never be pleased! :v:
whats more disturbing than the videos is the facebook comments under the article

Probably because remaining skeptical doesn't carry any inherent risk of being wrong.

Awww, creepy pasta material. :v:
Otherwise, I don't believe any of it. I certainly didn't hear anything, anyway.

Have you ever tried filming some loud stuff ie fireworks? It just comes out different.

Having a crystal clear sound that doesn't clip despite being obscenely loud enough to be heard over a hundred mile radius will tend to make people believe it's bullshit.
Besides it's more than likely if any of these sounds are real that it's infrasound of some form being amplified by the local enviroment and geogrpahy. That exact thing happened down in a city in England where everyone was convinced that an entire office building was haunted leading to it being left abandoned, so some boffins went to check that shit out. They found that at the other end of the tunnel there was a building with 2 absolutely, over the top, massive air conditioning units with some pretty slow spinning blades.
The blades were big enough and slow enough to displace a vast amount of air (akin to a subwoofer) and the sound wave (low enough to be completely inaudible) was being funnelled down the tunnel and they were hitting the "haunted" office block. The audio engineers tested the frequency of sound and it's effects on people and discovered that prolonged exposure to the frequency of sound could cause depression and anxiety.
Same thing could be happening here.

You sure bro? It's the pure audio at 1:26.

Actually it's
Background noise = horrible
Strange noises = perfect
Half of the videos you can speed up and you just hear animal noises and drums, or the noise is past the camera's limit
[QUOTE=Cone;34320415]You sure bro? It's the pure audio at 1:26.[/QUOTE]
1:26 of which video?
Oh wait, the first. Well, my bad then. I still don't know what they mean by "Pure audio" though.
