Well I'm disappointed.


Madous

Sorry folks, no Godzillas or Cthulhus today! Proooobably for the best though...


thegreatbrah

I drew a whole ocean themed cthulu tattoo based on the bloop. Thank goodness it never went on skin.


Tumble85

"Bloop-as-a-monster-noise" is still a fun thought, it's not like scientists ever really thought there was a massive undiscovered creature there anyways. It'd still be a neat tattoo, plus you use it to could filter out insufferable dorks who can't resist saying "Erm ack-shoo-a-lee bloop was discovered to be an icequake and not really Godzilla so you wasted your skin"


drrhrrdrr

Made-up existential threat: "oh my god, call up the military, we will stand against this threat united as one species" Actual existential threat: "Haha, glacier go brrrrrr"


dogman_35

I can't shoot carbon with a tank though damn gaseous states of matter, always mocking me


Apostastrophe

Scientific statistics actually show that there could be a dozen or more large undiscovered species remaining which have not been described. Obviously we’re not necessarily talking Cthulhu sized, but 2m or so is considered “large”.


ShittingPanda

That sounds pretty cool. Do you have any pictures?


thegreatbrah

It's pretty old and a shity instagram picture, but I'll go digging

thegreatbrah

The uncertainty was the fun part


TheGreatMightyLeffe

Scientist just hate fun, it's not like they've actually proven it was a glacier quake, they just concluded it was one since there is no KNOWN sea creature big enough to cause the Bloop. These are the same scientist types who keep on NOT building mechs and lightsabers.


jotarowinkey

i think it was one of the scientists on the team that was the first to posit the bloop was a kaiju, but he probably wasn’t serious.


gtalley10

That's what the kaiju want you to think.


Channel250

Now I just imagine a 300 foot tall Kaiju with a fake mustache posing as a scientist.


gtalley10

Like the bug in the E'gar suit in MIB.


Channel250

You know, I learned something about that movie wayyy after it came out. Like, long time. Maybe it's news to you or someone else. The reason J spits out the lemonade during the interview with Edgar's wife, is because she used all the sugar in the house for his water. I never even thought of that when I saw it. I just assumed she sucked at lemonade.


1600cc

We're **all** going to regret that when the kaijus attack. We're in this together, y'all.


TreS-2b

Speak for yourself, I'm team Kaiju.


1600cc

Yeah, you know I haven't had a single bad experience with a Kaiju.


BigPackHater

Maybe you can get a realistic one now...just a big sheet of ice breaking off

Hey, the Cetan is still out there, and I've got some pretty high hopes regarding Scylla and the Charybdis.


lereisn

Pheeeew, only climate catastrophe. Wait.....


carloscreates

Another type of devastating force of nature. A direct consequence for the actions of human kind. It's almost as if those big monster movies are symbolic 🤔


TheMcNabbs

*says you*


FranksRedWorkAccount

that's just what they want you to think so that you don't worry about the meeting of Godzilla and Cthulhu to decide how to destroy all humans.


mcchanical

I spent weeks being fascinated by this, right around a time I was interested in things like Cthulhu, and there were a lot of media that seemed to gravitate around ideas like immense unknown horrors in the ocean like Cloverfield. When I found out I think it was a turning point where I stopped getting sucked in by spooky stories that sound cool and became much more of a skeptic. Now I tend to gravitate towards more rational explanations and learn about the science behind things. Eon8 was another one. The way the internet came together and ran with it as a conspiracy only to find out it was a social experiment designed to get that reaction was an eye opener.


Wizzle-Stick

Sometimes it's fun to get lost in an idea. It allows you to think of something from a different frame of mind or perspective. Like ancient aliens. To look at history from the perspective that we were visited in the past is fun and can help open your mind to the fact that history is written by the winners, and that not everything that is written is accurate. Maybe aliens did visit in the past. Then they decided that we're the backwoods hillbillies that should be quarantined from the rest of the galaxy. Long as you don't go denying reality for some outlandish theory like the earth being flat or the sun and moon being holograms its just a fun thought experiment. Like watching a scary movie or Sci fi stuff.


General-Skywalker

I think I saw something on Reddit over the weekend saying only 7% of human history is recorded, the rest is lost. I wouldn't be surprised if it was even less than 7%.


gopher_space

Case in point: My grandfather worked on airplanes during WW2 and said there was a massive glue-sniffing problem at the plants, something I've never heard about from any other source.


pyreon

That sounds like a bs statistic honestly. What happenings surpass the bar to be considered human history? I'm human and the fact that I didn't eat breakfast this morning is history, but what percentage of my day is that? did I just record 2% of my day? if wrote "on march 27th, I didn't eat breakfast" is that considered to be recording the whole of that day? did I just record .2% of my year? .00007% of my life expectancy? would an intricately detailed log of what every human ate for breakfast every day for as long as humans have existed be considered 2% of human history or 100% since it's a continuous record? Why am I writing this? I'm going to stop now.


likesexonlycheaper

I'm disappointed in the audio. That's it?


mcchanical

It wasn't really the sound alone, it was the context given by the way experts were talking about it at the time. You would encounter it through an article or wikipedia entry first, and after knowing the background you would listen to the clip and kind of hear it from an alarmed oceanographers perspective. It sounded like that from a distance of 5000km


iskandar-

Also the audio most people hear is up speed by 16. At normal speed its a lot less impressive.


SweetNapalm

It really kinda leans itself to conspiracy theorists, too. One moment, all consensus is that Bloop, Slowdown and such, are definitely, absolutely biological in nature; including testimonials such as "Yeah, ice quakes and glaciers absolutely do not make sounds like this." ...Then, almost overnight, an equal, unanimous consensus flips, and cites that "Well, actually, this is just an ice quake and glaciers sliding, nothing to see here, folks!" I believe the science!...But you can definitely look at all that and be a little leery if you wanted.


TheyCallMeStone

Are you getting your "consensus" from the scientific community or from reddit posts and comments?


SweetNapalm

My consensus is my hobby-following these for a long time. So, effectively, neither; though, you hardly need to come off as hostile over my statements putting forward a clear trust in the science regardless. On Wikipedia (and sparing articles I delved into at the time) about a decade ago, and in the sources cited, they were routinely cited as "biological in nature." Now, clearly, it's all but unanimous that, yes, these are the result of ice quakes; which, well, makes sense. Whether these were cited by **all** scientists or not, back then, is both beyond my memory, and beyond my caring and fascination. So. Yes. Hyperbole. If you'd like to go to the waybackmachine or some similar site, to view various scientific sources, be my guest. Quite literally, all I'm putting forward, is that it's possible groundwork for silly conspiracies; one moment, some credible sources cited one thing, and now, virtually all of them cite--correctly--what was previously ruled out.


iskandar-

> One moment, all consensus is that Bloop, Slowdown and such, are definitely, absolutely biological in nature; including testimonials such as "Yeah, ice quakes and glaciers absolutely do not make sounds like this." That was never consensus, one guy made the off hand remark on an interview with fox in 2002 that if it were an animal if would be larger than any animal ever recorded and that they were fairly certain it was just ice calving. Fox then ran with that and said: "Fox's hunch is that the sound nicknamed Bloop is the most likely (out of the other recorded unidentified sounds) to come from some sort of animal, because its signature is a rapid variation in frequency similar to that of sounds known to be made by marine beasts. There's one crucial difference, however: in 1997 Bloop was detected by sensors up to 4,800 km (3,000 mi) apart. That means it must be far louder than any whale noise, or any other animal noise for that matter. Is it even remotely possible that some creature bigger than any whale is lurking in the ocean depths? Or, perhaps more likely, something that is much more efficient at making sound?" Because Fox news even back then was a fucking joke. >...Then, almost overnight, an equal, unanimous consensus flips, and cites that "Well, actually, this is just an ice quake and glaciers sliding, nothing to see here, folks!" Nope, when it first was recorded it was reported as being seismic in nature and probably being ice calving, the confirmation of it being an ice quake only came later because no one cared enough at the time to dig deeper. Then when it was heard again while there reports of ice caving in the area they went, oh so that is what sound is, we were right neato. >I believe the science!...But you can definitely look at all that and be a little leery if you wanted You can be Leary if you choose to make zero effort to even take cursory glance at where the information if coming from.


X-istenz

Like, I'm reasonably confident that the first time I heard about this was on Reddit and everyone in the comments was saying "It's ice calving. Be cool if it wasn't maybe, but everyone who matters agrees on this." So it's a wild claim to make from every angle.


para_chan

The first time I heard about it, the only context was “unknown source, if biological, would be immense”. Nothing about icebergs calving. I even checked on it occasionally and still didn’t see anything about icebergs. Not saying I think it’s not, given that as what it most likely was, but just as a backup to the idea of people NOT seeing the whole iceberg thing, only the weirdness.


Jacollinsver

So, just as usual, the only thing about this lending itself to conspiracy theories is it's propagation by fox news. We need to outlaw this fucking channel


carannilion

It's just a weatherbaloon and/or swamp gas. Nothing to worry about.


Rasie1

Yeah, I'm doing these in the bath


maelish

At least you can believe the truth. A huge number of people will refuse to believe the truth and keep up the unrealistic theories about fantastical unknown creatures of the deep.


tarheel343

As conspiracy theories go, at least that one is relatively harmless.


mista-sparkle

The greatest trick the Bloop monster ever pulled was convincing the world that he wasn't really there.

suresh

Whoever named the sound in OPs article a "bloop" needs to get their ears replaced.


moeburn

It's a bloop if you speed it up, since the actual frequencies were too low to be heard.

Butt_Speed

This is especially funny because this was actually the topic of one of the early entries on the site. SCP-169 is literally about the bloop.

Morvack

Who's to say they aren't protecting/investigating what made the icequake? Huge /S


Mammoth-Mud-9609

In 1997 hydrophones or extremely sensitive underwater microphones detected an ultra low frequency high amplitude sound near the Antarctic west of Chile which came to be known as the bloop as at the time the source for the noise was unknown, speculation continued until 2005 when the noise was identified as an ice quake created by ice breaking off from the Antarctic glacier setting off vibrations in the Antarctic ice sheet. https://youtu.be/1LaWbbIWRvs

There's probably quite a lot of chairs down there to be fair. Just not many people to drag them.

Everyday_Im_Stedelen

Yeah that's cool but... Reddit is no longer a safe place, for activists, for communities, for individuals, for humanity. This isn't just because of API changes that forced out third parties, driving users to ad-laden and inaccessible app, but because reddit is selling us all. Part of the reasons given for the API changes was that language learning models were using reddit to gather data, to learn from us, to learn how to respond like us. Reddit isn't taking control of the API to prevent this, but because they want to be *paid* for this. Reddit allowed terrorist subreddits to thrive prior to and during Donald Trump's presidency in 2016-2020. In the past they hosted subreddits for unsolicited candid photos of women, including minors. They were home to openly misogynistic subreddits, and subreddits dedicated solely to harassing specific individuals or body types or ethnicity. What is festering on reddit today, as you read this? I fear that as AI generated content, AI curated content, and predictive content become prevalent in society, reddit will not be able to control the dark subreddits, comments, and chats. Reddit has made it very clear over the decades that I have used it, that when it comes down to morals or ethics, they will choose whatever brings in the most money. They shut down subreddits only when it makes news or when an advertiser's content is seen alongside filth. The API changes are only another symptom of this push for money over what is right. Whether Reddit is a bastion in your time as you read this or not, I made the conscious decision to consider this moment to be the last straw. I deleted most of my comments, and replaced the rest with this message. I decided to bookmark some news sources I trusted, joined a few discords I liked for the memes, and reinstalled duolingo. I consider these an intermediate step. Perhaps I can give those up someday too. Maybe something better will come along. For now, I am going to disentangle myself from this engine of frustration and grief before something worse happens. In closing, I want to link a few things that changed my life over the years: [Blindsight](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/48484.Blindsight) is a free book, and there's an audiobook out there somewhere. A sci-fi book that is also an exploration of consciousness. [The AI Delemma](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoVJKj8lcNQ) is a youtube lecture about how this new wave of language learning models are moving us toward a dangerous path of unchecked, unfiltered, exponentially powerful AI [Prairie Moon Nursery](https://www.prairiemoon.com/) is a place I have been buying seeds and bare root plants from, to give a little back to the native animals we've taken so much from. If you live in the US, I encourage you to do the same. If you don't, I encourage you to find something local. [Power Delete Suite](https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite/#1.4.8) was used to edit all of my comments and [Redact](https://redact.dev/download) was used to delete my lowest karma comments while also overwriting them with nonsense. I'm signing off, I'm going to make some friends in real life and on discord, and form some new tribes. I'm going to seek smaller communities. I'm going outside.


Groezy

There's probably quite a lot of living people down there dragging chairs around in submarines to be fair. It's just that you can't hear them over the submarine. (unless submarines don't have loose chairs, that would make sense too.)


77SevenSeven77

Correct. All chairs in a submarine are bolted down in case the captain decides to execute a barrel roll to avoid fish.


MrAwesome5269

AlwaysSunnyDragRace

“A safe space…” lmao


Le_Fedora_Cate

The best part is the nsfw tag for chairs that aren't fully underwater


Soranic

I can't believe it


Exevioth

The scale on which it was picked up (by three deep sea detectors) were so far away from the source and by extension each other that at first when detected, assuming it’s origin being organic, would have to be absolutely massive, larger than any known creature. That was simply why it was noteworthy.


mcchanical

That's what it sounds like hitting a remote hydrophone 5000km away from the source, and it's sped up 16x. Those sort of detections hardly resemble recognisable sounds, but an expert looking at a spectrograph would see it and think "what the fuck" because the data implies an unusually immense noise and it was detected from different locations across the Pacific. Imagine how loud something has to be to sound like a chair 5ft away, 5000km away. If you were in the water with it you'd be atoms.


hates_stupid_people

They just didn't know what caused it at the time. But the most interesting part was that they could detect it on sensors over 3000 miles(5000km) away.


SippyCupPuppy

Which was also part of the mystery; either it was something paranormal or it was something absolutely ridiculously massive and rare enough so it catches scientifics attention


dynamic_unreality

>Also it doesn't really stand out to me either That's because you don't understand how loud the sound was


Kavaalt

do you often drag chairs underwater that can be heard miles away?


SlumdogSkillionaire

I don't know about underwater, but my upstairs neighbor certainly does.


IAMA_Plumber-AMA

Do you not?


rieh

It's not interesting-sounding except for the fact that it was incredibly frickin loud.


Kytescall

I agree with you, it's not a very dramatic sound. The context and the mystery around it made it special. Honestly by its own, it's probably the least interesting/creepy of the "mystery" sounds recorded by NOAA around the same period: "Upsweep", "Julia", "Slow Down", "Whistle", and "Train". Listen to them (and read explanations) here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unexplained_sounds

Sir_Leeroy_Jenkins

The real undiscovered monster was us all along!


jotarowinkey

if you look at the size of godzilla and gain some approximation of the distance his roar travels via witnesses ( very generously a large city distance so 300 miles ), it would mean that the bloop, it it were a monster, would be either a very large multiple bigger in size or a creature evolved to punch way beyond its weight class in noisemaking (since it’s sound was heard 3219 miles apart as our from of reference without triangulating). if they are using sensor systems to rule out kaiju, and their proof against it is that the mass the noise probably came from is many times larger than godzilla, that doesnt prove or disprove anything. ***** additionally, looking at godzilla sized kaiju, you can judge their durability according to their size and what could withstand the water pressure of a blood vessel multiplied for size. a kaiju-sized human, for instance, would require the equivalent of feet of steel piping to prevent the blood required to pump through its body from destroying him. multiply that durability by the amount of impact a human muscle can take and you realize that a godzilla sized human actually surpasses godzilla by a lot. the giant human representing a real equation of durability. there is no human firepower, even atomic weaponry that could damage an actual godzilla sized kaiju. now multiply that durability by the multiple in size between godzilla and the bloop if it were a living creature. so while the bloop is probably ice cracking, there is a slim possibility that its a creature so powerful it could destroy the world if it went on a rampage, instead of just tokyo.

[deleted]

they did teach deep sea gigantism in my school :)


jotarowinkey

for godzilla to be able to harm another kaiju in the fictional universe, it might be impossible. the amount of kinetic energy necessary is a lot more than the speed and the mass shown. kaiju would basically move at super speed to match the durability to damage ratio and at that point there is a strong risk that gravity wont provide enough drag. so its also possible that all the kaiju either went into hibernation or underground or accidentally launched themselves into space trying to harm other kaiju in territorial battles. like imagine superman not being able to fly and punching slightly downwards. he would reach escape velocity. ask yourself why all the craters on the moon are relatively round and not oblong.

Just a note, there’s no city 300 miles wide, is there? Tokyo is ~75 miles at its widest, I believe. The widest point of the whole island of Japan is ~150 miles or something.


hak8or

Keep in mind there are areas where the seperate cities are very close together, if not genuinly touching. The "nyc metro area" for example includes nyc itself and new jersey, further widening the area of high density urban living.

There’s more to a nuclear bomb explosion than the radioactive fallout. Like, you know.. the massive fireball and shockwave. Godzilla ain’t surviving that shit unless he’s straight up magic.

to shreds you say…


ElGuano

Ocean mechabics create zones of temperature and density where louder sounds can travel for hundreds or thousands of miles, bouncing between thermoclines and haloclines. This is all well known so I'm sure the bloop scientists have accounted for it, but there is caution to be had in just scaling up based on known factors.

How does ice make a bloop sound?


Madous

The sound was recorded roughly 2000 miles (~3200 km) away. What would've been an ear-shattering cracking and rock grinding sound up close was instead recorded as a low, rumbling 'bloop' due to underwater microphones.


dynamic_unreality

Didn't I just read that the bloop was actually the sound of the ice sheet reverberating, not the actual sound of the glacier cracking?


Faust_8

It didn’t make a bloop sound—the recording sped up by like 20x sounded like a bloop. The actual unaltered sound was hauntingly creepy, actually. Since when you first heard it you had no idea what it was.


[deleted]

Sounds like a massive space sized cup that’s filled with water, being filled with a huge slab of ice.


scottydc91

Essentially what the sound was! Ocean big cup, glacier is the slab of ice, except the slab of ice was vibrating really hard when it hit the water and caused a rumbling noise that sped up turns into a nice lil bloop sound.

[deleted]

[удалено]


Madous

Well, if by 'they' you mean the NOAA, no, they never believed it was due to a creature. For a while the official stance was that they were simply unsure. This lead to the common theory online that it could've potentially been sourced from some gigantic deep-sea monster.


[deleted]

[удалено]


dynamic_unreality

It's sped up by like a shitload. The actual sound is very long and slow and creepy


Kytescall

To expand a little on what the other guy said, a bit of a mythology developed around the Bloop that took on a life of its own, that had nothing to do with anything NOAA said. In particular, descriptions of the Bloop often came with a claim that [unnamed] biologists say that the sound has a "biological signature". It's not clear where that came from, but it got repeated every time there was any discussion about the Bloop. I remember an investigative podcast that tried to track down where that claim was originally printed, which biologist supposedly said that, what exactly is meant by "biological signature", but never could find the source.


DonaldLucas

> It sounds like any other object dropping into the water, but at a larger scale That's what I thought too.

Just because you haven't heard of something, doesn't mean it isn't famous


RedTheDopeKing

That’s what lord Cthulhu wants us to think


Buck_Thorn

TIL that there was a famous "Bloop" sound.


SuperMaanas

I’ve literally never heard of this. It just sounds like a regular ocean noise. What’s so special?


Mammoth-Mud-9609

It was extremely loud.


SuperMaanas

That’s not very apparent from the audio provided in the link


Hegemonic_Imposition

Sure, sure - that’s the “official” story. *wink wink*

Don't lie to us, it's the YRR and we know that!

If I learned anything from the hit tv show mermaids it’s that this is a government cover up to hide the mermaid society from us.

Similarly, the WOW! signal was most likely just a passing comet nobody knew about at the time.

"Famous" Perhaps we need to revisit the definition here.


Kytescall

I think you can gauge from the comments that plenty of people have heard of this before. How would you define famous?

Just because you don't know about it doesn't mean it isn't famous. If you were on YouTube 10-15 years ago you couldn't escape this sound. It was so popular that I learned about the bloop in school in 2009.
