An Unearthly Sound Is Emanating From the Caribbean Sea (Video)

Beneath the hum of ship traffic and the chatter of marine life, another sound is emanating from the Caribbean Sea. It’s far too low pitched for humans to hear, but its signature can be detected from space. Scientists have never seen—or heard—anything like it.
Located southeast of the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea features a large basin bounded by South America, Central America, and the Caribbean Islands. It’s a critical cog in the global circulation belt, forming currents that feed directly into the Gulf Stream. But when researchers at the University of Liverpool decided to study the dynamics of the Caribbean Sea, they noticed something odd.
“We were looking at ocean pressure through models for quite different reasons, and this region just didn’t work,” Chris Hughes of the University of Liverpool told Gizmodo, explaining how his models kept yielding large, inexplicable pressure oscillations across the basin. “It felt like a sore thumb.”
“You have a current that flows east to west through the Caribbean Sea,” Hughes explained. “It’s very narrow and quite strong. Just like a narrow jet of air, it becomes unstable and creates eddies.”
When those waves strike the western boundary of the basin, they die out and reappear at the eastern edge. This phenomenon, flashily named the “Rossy wormhole,” was first described several years back. Scientists now know that waves of certain shapes and sizes will resonate when they hit that western wall, just as certain frequencies resonate when you blow into a whistle. In both cases, the resonant frequency produces a sound.
But because the basin of the Caribbean Sea is so vast compared with an actual whistle, the resonant frequency is extremely low. It takes 120 days for waves to propagate east to west in the basin, yielding an A-flat tone that’s roughly 30 octaves below the bottom of a piano. A pitched-up version of that excessively eerie sound can be heard in the clip above.
Dubbed the “Rossby Whistle” in a paper accepted for publication in Geophysical Research Letters, the phenomenon can be detected from space owing to fluctuations in Earth’s gravity field as pressure changes propagate across the entire basin. The researchers plan to keep monitoring the Rossby Whistle, with the hope that the signal might be used to predict times of the year when coastal flooding is more likely.

look at that pic and tell me we live on a ball spinning at 1000 miles per hour…….
ba’al earth was a lie.
You Flat earthers make me phart.
You’d burn a witch at the stake to wouldn’t you?
Look for the devil’s mark and all that jazz right?
Remember Jesus Loves you, Vote for the Fuhrer!
Figures that flat brained would turn up at some point.
we live on a ball spinning at 1000 miles per hour
Also, just because it doesn’t make sense to you doesn’t mean it’s not real. “Science is under no obligation to make sense to you.”
We most certainly are not on a ball!
Gee, fella. There sure seems to be some credence to your statement. Especially since you provided so much evidence and all.
Never go Full Retard.
usually a hum denotes underground drilling.
Sorry, that was me. I had gas. [Caribbean Jerk Chicken tacos, and all!] Ya Man!!!!!
It’s a pre-programmed end-times activation alarm coming from the lost continent of Mu, obviously.
jdp…Perhaps the ocean sound that satellites pick up is also propagated from the stratosphere to the ground people hear.
Sounds coming from the dark side of the moon.
The Caribbean sea (one of the most beautiful I saw in my life) is the most likely place of impact of the dinosaur’s doomsday asteroid..
It could have weakened the earth’s mantle. This coupled with the song of the earth magnetic field could create this kind of phenomena.
just a theory though.
That hum is a cry for help from oil spills to acidification of the seas, humans are making the seas dead in a record time. Just watch for news thousands of fishes end up beached in southern Chile, not once but twice in different locations, the cause could very well be acidification of the oceans. Not having enough with over exploiting the fishes of the seas (population is now down to 50% according to BBC) we excel at destruction of the environment.
