Since the last century, the human being has developed instruments that have allowed him to strengthen senses such as sight and hearing, through video and recording or audio equipment that have served to explain many of the things we see and we hear in our environment, sometimes at unimaginable distances.
However, in the case of sounds, there are still some that for humans still do not have a logical explanation, and here we will mention six of them that they have in common that coming from that other space also largely unknown: the oceans.
1."Slow Down"
It was first recorded in 1997 and for some researchers It is an iceberg running aground, although other observers believe it could be the sound emitted by a giant squid.
The sound gradually decreases as the argo of the recording, hence the name ( slow down ).
2.Upsweep
This is an underwater sound detected in the Pacific Ocean by a sound surveillance network –SOSUS– in 1991 and whose point of origin was located somewhere halfway between Australia and South America.Some scientists believe that it is volcanic activity, but this theory has not been proven.
3.The "whistle"
In July 1997 a NOAA hydrophone (a US federal agency that studies and evaluates the condition of the atmosphere and the oceans) recorded a sound, whose origin is not It was not possible to identify.The limited information has not served to feed speculation.
4.The Bloop
That same year, 1997, NOAA recorded another unusual sound coming from the sea floor: a extremely powerful signal in ultra low frequency, recorded by several stations along the west and south coast of South America and simply called bloop, We talk to you already in Science Daily Online.
It lasted one minute and was repeated several times during the summer.Some scientists believe that it could be cracks in the polar ice, although it has not been ruled out at all that may have had an organic origin.
5.Julia
It is the name given to another sound lasting 15 seconds recorded in March 1999.
The sound was recorded along the equatorial zone of the Pacific Ocean, and there is a hypothesis that it could be the bottom of an iceberg rubbing with the seabed.
6.The whale loneliest in the world
Since 1989 the call of a whale has been recorded almost annually on a frequency, 52 Hertz, in which it is difficult I could answer another whale.It is not known to which species it belongs and in 2015 funding was sought to make an expedition and make a documentary about this specimen that could be the only one, or the last of its kind.

Apparently this mystery continues.
Do you know any other sounds without explanation? Share it with us, and also read a curious sound, the buzz of Taos.
