Many people from all corners of the world continue to be baffled by a mysterious sounds coming from the clouds.
Have you too heard these strange sounds? If not, then brace yourself for a ride into a world of paranormal speculations as well as scientific explanations that try to expound on what these sounds could be and what is causing them.
For those who have encountered these sounds of the clouds, they have described them as a loud hum or the sounds of a trumpet. There are many videos on YouTube from the U.S, Germany, UK, Canada, Ukraine, and many other parts of the world that show people hearing these strange sounds coming from above.
The eerie sounds of the clouds go way back to the periods during World War II. They have been heard in different parts of the world and, in some cases, at the same time in varying time zones.
The first video surfaced on YouTube in 2008 in Belarus. An anonymous user recorded a strange sound that was coming from the sky. In the same year, another person believed to be from the US also posted a video of unusual sounds. Later in June 2013, a British Columbian captured an alien sound in Canada. This inspired her to capture more recordings with her most recent one on 7th May 2019.

It is quite mysterious how these strange sounds can only be heard by some people. Those who have shared these experiences have been referred to as ‘hum hearers’. They describe the sounds to be riffs of heavy metal music that is accompanied by a mechanical whirring hum. It is estimated that up to 4% of the worlds population has heard such noises emanating from the sky. A good number of them claim to have heard these noises when they are in urban areas. It is for this reason, that people often associate these sounds of the clouds as noises coming from machines in industrial plants, which only appear to be coming from above.
Theories About The Mysterious Sounds of the Clouds
A bunch of skeptical experts have said that these sounds of the clouds could be signs of tinnitus. However, these allegations have been ruled out by Glen MacPherson, a former mathematics lecturer at the University of British Columbia. He argues that tinnitus is quite different from the descriptions of people who have heard this worldwide hum. Glen continues to say that there are many noises that make a sound like the one people hear coming from the sky. Therefore, to completely understand this mystery, we must eliminate known sources of such sounds.
Encounters With The Strange Sounds
Below we have compiled a number of testimonies from different people that have heard this mysterious sound.
One man from Liverpool claims that he used to hear this sound in the middle of the night when it was dead quiet. His wife could never hear it, no matter how hard she tried. He describes the sounds resembled that of a large diesel engine.
Another person who on first hearing the sounds, thought it was tinnitus, and sought medical help. However, the doctor ruled out tinnitus. His interest in the matter grew, and through research, he found out that the sound was about 18Hz or lower. Implying that the sound could only be felt and not heard because it was at the edge of human hearing.
Jaybee, from the UK who had also used to hear these strange sounds, argues that it’s not tinnitus. Because it used to affect him so much that he slept wearing silicon earplugs. And still does.
Some of these encounters have even made some people get strange nightmares after the event. A good example is Aaron Taylor, who shared a recording of these sounds in Montana in the US back on 18th February 2012. He later admitted to having strange nightmares and hearing these awful noises.
Speculations About The Sound of The Clouds
Similar to other mysteries, the strange sounds coming from the sky also have their fair share of speculations. They include;
· Tectonic Plates Grinding
Some scientists say that what people really hear are tectonic plates grinding. These plates are pieces of earth’s crust and uppermost mantle. Due to environmental factors, these plates tend to grind, and its thought that some people might hear these sounds.
· Atmospheric Pressure
Atmospheric pressure has also been closely linked with these strange sounds from time to time.
· Shunting of Trains
If you live near train tracks or a station, then the sound could be emanating from the reaction of the train tracks to overhead wires.
· Construction
As we all know, construction can be a bit noisy, especially if the project is close-by.
· Aliens
Since some of these noises have been considered too strange and uncommon, there is no doubt that people speculate their origin to be from aliens. These speculations are more common, especially in areas where UFO’s have reportedly been sighted.
· Secret Government Operations
Another common theory of the sounds of the clouds, in particular, those that have been branded as ‘Area 51’s,’ is that secret government operations might be behind it.
· The Seven Trumpets of Heaven
According to the scriptures, during the end of times, the world will face an apocalypse. There have been speculations of the warning signs signaling the apocalypse. One of these signs are the seven trumpets of heaven that is written in the book of Revelations. Most people who have heard the strange sounds have closely associated it with being similar to the sounds of a trumpet.
Possible Causes Explained by a Government Geologist Turned Whistle-blower
Out of all the above speculations, there is one that has caught the interest of most people online. It is the grinding of tectonic plates. A recent explanation by a government tuned whistle-blower explains that there is something happening in the inner core of the earth. The geologist explains that the change in magnetic poles and recycling on minerals in the mantle of the earth are the leading causes of tectonic plates grinding.
The sounds are a result of the mantle discharging high amounts of energy. The pushing of the earth’s crust produces infrasound, which bounces back at a lower frequency. Explaining why some people hear the noises and others don’t.
The geologist says that there has been a change in the speed of mantle movement, and it is not known whether the results are temporary or permanent. There is much to question about the theory of the government geologist. It’s too bad that he disappeared immediately after sharing this information with Linda Moulton of Earthfiles.
This theory also has its weaknesses. Because it begs the question, why do these sounds emanate from the sky and not the ground beneath us? This leaves behind speculations such as trumpets coming from the sky. These sounds could be signalling us for apocalyptic times. Some people think we could also be getting warnings from other forms of intelligence that are trying to make contact with earth.
Could The Strange Sounds also be Caused by the Earth’s Vibration
Another popular theory that can put the strange sounds conundrum to rest is the earth’s vibrations. Scientists did discover that the earth vibrates at a frequency of 10 MHz. This frequency is very low for humans to hear. However, those with sensitive ears are able to pick up these sounds. This would explain why only some people can hear it and others don’t.
The strange sound is said to be caused by the force of the ocean moving against the surface of the earth. This is called microseisms, and it creates noise signals which are higher than 10 MHz. These could possibly be what most people hear. However, there are some that have argued the sounds happen to be range from 30 to 80 Hz.
According to the average human hearing, it is nearly impossible for us to hear the vibrations of the earth unless they are on a catastrophic level. Not to mention, what about people who hear the strange sounds of the clouds, and they reside in a landlocked area?
Conclusion
Will we ever know what these strange sounds are? At the moment, we simply have to rely on speculations and stick to what seems more obvious to us. So far, no one has been able to identify the cause or even what the sounds really are. And this is what makes them so mysterious. In some areas, it has really affected the lives of the locals forcing some to even move to other places.
However, as time goes by and as more people witness these strange sounds of the clouds, there is no doubt that more research will be carried out.
