Ever hear a sound and wonder WTF it was?

[Rubycon]

Honestly I'm still shaking from this!
I was working at a terminal and everything was fine and peaceful and all in a sudden there was a really weird noise that sounded like a throbbing noise. One could feel it as if emanating from within inside the body!

About seven other people around noticed it as well and it was just so strange at first I thought it was pressure like the onset of a headache or some other personal anomaly. So I know I'm not going crazy!

Others around the ship have also asked. Nothing official, weather is good, seas calm no mechanical abnormalities to speak of! It was just so crazy. I've been on this ship for nearly eight years now and know her well and this sound was not like anything I've experienced!

So does anyone else have an experience they wish to share? You know a sound that no one seemed to figure out yet something never heard/experienced before?

We're in transition, no passengers just crew so it's quieter than usual. I don't believe in ghosts, sea monsters or any of that fantasy stuff but I have to tell you I was /am scared shitless of whatever that was. I rarely use the F word and did, several times as a matter of fact! :$

maybe it was a whale, underneath the hull

Throbbing? From Inside the body?

It would have be one big ass whale! If you're in a car and run over a mouse you would not feel it.

Confused sea and or gale driven waves over swells can cause a lot of ruckus but nothing like this. Water is quite calm.

Strange noises in my apartment sometimes. The building is over 100 years old...so that's expected.

Happens somewhat often at work for me. be in one compartment while someone is doing something elsewhere on the ship. Get some weird sounds from sound traveling through bulkheads/piping. The deck crawlers they use sound like rather deep long farts at times.

Usually happens after I eat kielbasa.

Sometimes when I lay on one side in the bed so that one ear is blocked by my pillow, the sound of my fan becomes the sound of whispering voices. I know this happens, but it still can cause me to jerk upright and try to hear what they are saying. Of course with both ears, the sound resolves into the sound of the fan. As soon as I lay back down though, it returns.

If that were the case we'd be on our way to the bottom for sure. :whiste:

If that happened to me I'd get rid of the fan even if it meant sleeping naked with no covers, ever!

No, I'm talking like the movie the Abyss. I live in New mexico and I've seen some crazy stuff in the skies.

clitoris after a viagra, it happens

I had a speaker phone that would occasionally pickup CB transmissions, and I'd hear voices coming from the phone(no, not while I was using it :^P). I had to clip the speaker wires to preserve my sanity.

I've seen lights from below on cloudy nights that rule out reflections from stars/moon. They are schools of jellyfish. Possibly millions of them glowing with their bioluminescence reminiscent of a post dusk noctilucent cloud bank.

Time to track down the scofflaw running that 2kW footwarmer, put a hog ring through his coax or somethin'!

All I'm saying is if you heard some weird ass noise you need to figure out what it is. I've seen a red light formation that moved that could not be explained. Numerous people have posted what I saw on youtube that could not be explained.

The closest thing is stabilizers but they have not been deployed or retracted in the past 12 hours. Nobody knows but it was experienced ship-wide. Everything is OK and everyone is safe (which is good news) but I will tell you I probably won't sleep tonight. Not that this is really unusual for me in the first place. :biggrin:

What kind of ship are you on?

 

[ViperXX]

8 years you've been on this ship, don't try to to bullshit yourself. If you got scared something is wrong.

 

[darkswordsman17]

How you describe it reminds me of being near a huge transformer or something, but I figure you'd know what that was like. Maybe the waves against the hull hit at just the right time to give it kinda a reverberation or something? Were you somewhere that might have been able to do something like that (like being stuck inside a bell when its rung)?

 

[Rubycon]

Meyer Werft Libra (Dawn) class, 92,345 tons.

No what's worse is nothing is wrong but something had to make that noise.

Most resonances are truly infrasonic although with high enough energies they become perceivable. I'm aware of those and conditions are not close to cause them. Even so this stood out like a cockroach in mashed potatoes, wrong chord in a riff! This happened and was over. No "aftershock" or anything. Just as if you're "doing it" and someone turns on the lights, then turns them off again. You jump, hit your funny bone. Now imagine that shock amplified a million times.
