juice64011 Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/deepest-part-ocean-mariana-trench-proves-hauntingly-noisy/story?id=37399544 The deepest part of the ocean -- the Mariana Trench -- is proving to be eerily noisy. Scientists recorded ambient noise for three weeks from a hydrophone placed 36,000 feet below the ocean surface in the Challenger Deep trough in the Mariana Trench near Micronesia. What they discovered was the deepest part of the ocean is not a place of peace and solitude but instead has a cacophony of sounds. "You would think that the deepest part of the ocean would be one of the quietest places on Earth," Robert Dziak, a research oceanographer with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, said in a statement this week. "Yet there is almost constant noise," he added. "The ambient sound field is dominated by the sound of earthquakes, both near and far, as well as distinct moans of baleen whales, ships, and the clamor of a category 4 typhoon that just happened to pass overhead."

The noise isn't anything special but if you think of how deep they are it's pretty crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFCCagerattler Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 It makes sense if you think about the water at that depth being almost a solid due to the massive weight. Sound sound travels most easily through a solid, then a liquid, then a gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rastajambo Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 whales are just find a place to shag in peace and some perverted scientist has gone and stuck some mics down there to listen...makes me sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolldan Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Eerie Does make some sense though. Think the trench itself it the meeting point of two tectonic plates being pushed together which must generate noise. Also the trench is walled so its logical that a lot more reverberation would be heard from sound bouncing back of the walls of the trench. Still one of the coolest places on Earth though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juice64011 Posted March 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 They plan on putting a video camera along with another mic down there for 3 months next year I believe. I don't know if they have ever had a camera down there that long so the odds are good that they will find some new species of animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba_Sparks Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 I think i read somewhere that we've explored a smaller percentage of the deep sea than the moon. Every time they go below a few thousand metres they discover new species. Who knows what's down there? Must be awesome to work in oceanography.

I'd rather have a million camera's down there instead of a Mic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
