Sounds coming from the sky recently

Hedgelayer

I was on YouTube and seen reports of weird trumpet like noises coming from the sky,it happened a few years ago.

Supposedly it's been heard from the Burren up as far as Connemara last week.

Is it a weather phenomenon ?

There's a fella who plays the trumpet on Arklow beach the odd time. Could be him.

The sky gods are angry at so many people saying seen when they should say saw.

Assuming you are just trolling but man made is not gender specific. It's just a term:

Made by humans rather than occurring in nature.

If it was woman made you would never hear the end of it.

In fairness, there are quite a few people who genuinely get worked up about the use of the word "man" so what I said was reasonable unlike yourself who needs to resort to personal insults which I believe are not tolerated here.

This thread is brought to you after hours.

When I was out walking before 5 am today there was a dreadful cafuffle coming from the opposite shore.. definitely terrified geese but also an.... unknown sound that was quite fearsome..

The Burren is in North Clare...

I'm not trolling just wondering if it's a load of hogwash or doe's anyone here have any input

I used to always hear a hum around my house. Turned out it was just tinnitus!

Remember this from Kerry back in 2012? (and no Healy-Rae jokes, please )

Its actually the solar particles interacting with the magnetosphere and produces these groaning sounds (this is off the top of my head and open to corections could be the ionisphere either), there was a spate of this up in louth a few years ago

If people get worked up over something as harmless as this, then we should go out of our way to work them up some more. They really must have nothing else going on in their lives.

Myself and my mother were walking the beach in Bettystown Co Meath last week and heard about 10 seconds of a bizarre trumpet / metal being dragged on metal sound coming from the sky, hairs stood on my arms it was that bizarre.

Today, a number of people in Drogheda, Slane & Dundalk reported hearing similar. These are all within 30km of each other. Someone managed to record it and this is the exact same sound we heard last week.

I note a lot of people on similar videos say they are hoaxes and I'd believe that myself had we not heard them in person.

Baffled.

It may not be coming from the sky? It’s very strange indeed. It would make my hairs stand too if I heard it especially if you heard it at night time.

Possibly not the sky alright just made me look up and west (away from the Sea). A really horrible / uncomfortable sound.

Could it be something going at Irish Cement between Drogheda and Duleek?

I see it is not far from Drogheda Port, sometimes when drawing back the covers of the holds they can be quite loud echoing through the ship? Might also be the crane scraping off the bottom of the hold. By the way some bird song in the video above.

Very weird! Only listening through crappy lap top speaker, but each of the 'notes' in those sounds are in tune with one another. It almost sounds like a male choir practicing specific parts of a tune or something.

End of Days!

I used to hear this sound emanating from key waste on the Greenhills road.
I’m pretty sure it’s metal pushing along metal with the use of a crane. The sound then reverberates around the yard etc and Eminates our around the area.
Sounds like war of the worlds on that video though.
Very good.

Some of the comments in this video are suggesting boring machines going through hard rock. So could be the cement plant suggestion

Is there one near the burren that could account for the noises there too ? Maybe a quarry ?

Oops!

I live about 3 mile as the crow flies from a mine that closed about 5 years ago. You could often hear strange noises on a calm day or night similar to that when it was in production.

It's possibly a sign from the heavens - known as the 'Rapture.' Look it up.

Whatever it is, my son reckons it won't be cleaned with a 40 degree wash

Any chance you could give a brief explanation of this theory and why you think it's a possibility?

q85dw7osi4lebg

I can believe the ship noise scenario, but nearest port was about 4k from me and the sound was also heard inland near Slane, then in Dundalk too (30km?) North.

To me it did sound like it could be coming from Irish Cement direction funny enough but that's a good 10k away.

I was on the beach and the wind was offshore for once, so westerly winds could be carrying it some distance.

It's the exact same sound that was heard in Drogheda in 2016 (Vids on YouTube) but reports of it also being heard in France, Turkey and Brazil in the last week alone.

I am clueless.

Wonder if there's any association with general noise pollution being quite low at present.

We are all doomed! The four horsemen are coming! I knew choosing the chicken over the mushroom soup would have consequences. Peter Griffin was right:(

It sounds like a crane moving against something to me.

Sounds like metal on metal / an out of tune Trumpet, but there was no such machinery within km's of me, there are also youtube videos of it in Dundalk that were recorded at the same time.

Guess I'll just try block it out of my memory as being a hoax / my imagination.

Sounds a lot like a boat scraping against a pier, I used to live a few miles from a port and would frequently hear similar sounds as car ferries were coming in to dock.

Cement factory seems like the most logical source around there but then it could be caused by some combination of corona and 5G for all we know :eek:
