Quote:Comment: Sounds of the Magnetosphere are being naturally heard on Earth! Check out the NICT magnetosphere simulation, the magnetosphere is red/white hot today and for whatever reason, there is no scientific explanation so far, we can here the sounds of the magnetosphere right here on Earth! Someone on GLP suggests this is like "cosmic energy shearing across suns solar wind. sort of like playing a violin." I actually think that is an excellent description with some decades old plasma physics that will hopefully provide the scientific theory. (Magnetosonic waves basics vs Alfvén wave vs sound wave) I think the mechanics of a violin (and some of this reflected as the sound) actually fits better than the academic chorus, hiss and whistler definitions
Then there's this.........
"When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound and time shall be no more...."
That quote is gold! When I read it it made so much sense.
I've heard the mysterious sound although not as loud. About 2 years ago (in Sydney, Australia) on the night of a lunar eclipse. At about midnight it started....like a road train driving past your house for several hours....our neighbors came out at around 3am to complain about the noise. I've heard it probably a half/dozen times since then. It's a deep, grounding, reverberating sound you can feel in your bones. And it definitely feels like it's coming from deep in the ground. But a couple of times it felt like it was coming from the air!?? Can something in our atmosphere be making the sound for some reason? It's reminiscent of the lightning storms I see here. A massive cloud ball above, lightening brightening it up every minute or so, but absolutely no rain or thunder. And it will go on for hours. Maybe it's not lightening but some other force they are releasing with or without sound.....
