    They all sound like stock 'scary noises' from the B-movie sound effects library. Probably viral marketing for some new movie.

    So my little brother heard some really weird sounds in the sky last night, he said they sounded like trumpets or something. He looked it up and found that it's been happening all over the world since early 2011.

    They are really eerie sounding, whatever they are. Anyone else on OH hear them in your late night meanderings?
    Any thoughts on what they could be?

    The heralds of the apocalypse, obviously

    It could be some form of unmanned flying vehicle for surveillance, especially if it was up North. Something smaller and less visually conspicuous than a helicopter.

    I heard a theory that it's the sound of magnetic waves from the northern lights.

    Norn Iron video; not sure. Probably the PSNI spying on you.
    Worldwide video; sounds like cars going by at high speed, and/or echos from cars in a tunnel environment.

    It's the sound of the pumps from sewerage treatment plants.

    Boring answer I know, but it's the truth.

    I've been around factories and machinery that make similar constant, droning noises

    I wonder if we'd notice the beginning of the Apocalypse. Its been a while since I heard what the signs are. But floods, famine, pestilence etc are in there somewhere. Just looking at a report on landslide in UK and thinking of all the flooding around the world in the past year, it got me thinking about whether or not we'd notice if the Apocalypse had begun.

    Do you think the public would notice or would we all be waiting for a televised announcement?

    I heard it last night in Dublin and I live near the Quays in Dublin 2. It sounded like a low flying jet to me but I saw no planes in the sky.

    If you actually believe in the Apocalypse then read The Book of Revelations (as a work of imaginative fiction, it's not bad). You don't think people would notice the following?

    "Hail and fire, mingled with blood"
    "Something that resembles a great mountain, burning with fire, falls from the sky and lands in the ocean."
    A great star, named Wormwood, falls from heaven and poisons a third of the rivers and springs of water""

    Didn't hear it myself but there's a thread here asking if the fog horn in Dun Laoghaire has been reactivated.

    Similar sound was heard in Waterford a good few months back, there was a thread in the Waterford city forum.
