These could be the underwater equivalent of the sound of wind in a cave.

Powered by volcanic emissions instead of wind. Depending on the shape of the orifice and the size/shape of the chamber, it could make any kind of sound.

Always sounds like http://ia600500.us.archive.org/12/items/ird059/tcp_d1_01_the... (give it some time...) and http://www.lostcosmonauts.com/firstman.ra managed to scare the hell out of me... shiver I wonder how fear and sounds like these are wired in our brains...

I've heard of the lost cosmonauts before. But what is the first sound? I haven't listened to all of it yet, mainly because you grouped it with the lost cosmonauts, and those recordings scare the hell out of me as well, even though I believe they are mostly hoaxes.

It's certainly not hard to guess why unknown sounds would trigger fear in humans from an evolutionary standpoint. Biologically I wouldn't care to speculate.

The first sound is a (german) numbers station where a woman (i can't help my self and interpret the voice as a child's voice) speaks some testing numbers (i guess) it's 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 - the interleave signal is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_Rhapsody_No._1

At first I was like "Well, animals, obviously", but now I'm not so sure...

Indeed. There was some speculation in one of the articles that it may have been big ice sheets sliding along rock that was making those subsonic noises.

I understand the list but I don't know how this stuff gets frontpaged so often in so many places. "Bloop" "Bloop" Wow. Maybe it was the loch ness monster on vacation. Or maybe...a bubble. I mean, come on.

The sample is at 16x the original speed. And was heard over 5000km. In other words, not a bubble. Or if it was, it was a bubble worthy of its own wiki page.

Yeah, ok. It could have been wonderful, tremendous things. IE, lochy. But I've seen this on front pages at least 50 times and there has not been the tiniest insight into what that is beyond nothing at all. Occam's razor: It was a bubble, an electrical malfunction, a manufactured hoax, etc. Why don't you post a shaky video of bigfoot instead? At least the imagination has something to chew on there.

Sorry for asking, but what is odd about this sound? I also don't know what a interleave is.

But, anyway, this sounded to me as something we could find in a station from Lost.

Or it could be something actually real and interesting like the shrimp layer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkgJQ1Fpwm4#t=1140s
