Renowned Geophysicist Says Strange Sky Sounds Are Real
Dr. Elchin Khalilov, a geophysicist and a professor in Azerbaijan [map], has been conducting research into the recent wave of strange sky sounds.
Dr. Khalilov refers to the phenomena as “sky hum.” As a geophysicist, he has become intrigued by the numerous reports and recording of the sky sounds. While others in the research community might be inclined to dismiss the whole thing as nonsense, Dr. Khalilov has been working with other researchers to explain what might be causing it.
In a recent article at GeoChange Journal (geochangemag.org), Dr. Khalilov responded to some questions about the sky hum phenomena.
Mr. Khalilov, what is the nature of the unusual very low-pitched sounds reported by a great number of people in different parts of the planet since the summer of 2011? Many call them “The Sound of the Apocalypse”. Information about that comes from all over the world: US, UK, Costa Rica, Russia, Czech Republic, Australia, etc.
Dr. Elchin Khalilo
“We have analyzed records of these sounds and found that most of their spectrum lies within the infrasound range, i.e. is not audible to humans. What people hear is only a small fraction of the actual power of these sounds. They are low-frequency acoustic emissions in the range between 20 and 100 Hz modulated by ultra-low infrasonic waves from 0.1 to 15 Hz. In geophysics, they are called acoustic-gravity waves; they are formed in the upper atmosphere, at the atmosphere-ionosphere boundary in particular. There can be quite a lot of causes why those waves are generated: earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, storms, tsunamis, etc. However, the scale of the observed humming sound in terms of both the area covered and its power far exceeds those that can be generated by the above-mentioned phenomena.”
In that case, what could be causing this humming in the sky?
“In our opinion, the source of such powerful and immense manifestation of acoustic-gravity waves must be very large-scale energy processes. These processes include powerful solar flares and huge energy flows generated by them, rushing towards Earth’s surface and destabilizing the magnetosphere, ionosphere and upper atmosphere. Thus, the effects of powerful solar flares: the impact of shock waves in the solar wind, streams of corpuscles and bursts of electromagnetic radiation are the main causes of generation of acoustic-gravitation waves following increased solar activity.
“Given the surge in solar activity as manifested itself in the higher number and energy of solar flares since mid-2011, we can assume that there is a high probability of impact of the substantial increase in solar activity on the generation of the unusual humming coming from the sky. It should be pointed out that solar activity began to rise sharply since early 2011, with its amplitude significantly higher than all forecasts given by a number of influential scientific institutions in 2010 and 2011. Meanwhile, the observed increase in solar activity is fully consistent with the forecast of the International Committee GEOCHANGE published in the Committee’s Report in June 2010. If this growth rate of solar activity continues, its amplitude by the end of 2012 will be higher than the amplitude of 23rd solar cycle, and in 2013-2014 the solar activity will reach its peak the amplitude of which was predicted by us to be 1.5 – 1.7 times higher than the amplitude of the 23rd cycle.”
But you said that the cause of the “sky hum” can lie within Earth’s core as well, what does it mean?
“There is one more possible cause of these sounds and it may lie at the Earth’s core. The fact is that the acceleration of the drift of the Earth’s north magnetic pole which increased more than fivefold between 1998 and 2003 and is at the same level today points to intensification of energy processes in the Earth’s core, since it is processes in the inner and outer core that form the Earth’s geomagnetic field. Meanwhile, as we have already reported, on November 15, 2011 all ATROPATENA geophysical stations which record three-dimensional variations of the Earth’s gravitational field almost simultaneously registered a powerful gravitational impulse. The stations are deployed in Istanbul, Kiev, Baku, Islamabad and Yogyakarta, with the first and last one being separated by a distance of about 10,000 km. Such a phenomenon is only possible if the source of this emanation is at the Earth’s core level. That huge energy release from the Earth’s core at the end of the last year was some kind of a start signal indicating the transition of the Earth’s internal energy into a new active phase.
“Intensification of the energy processes in the Earth’s core can modulate the geomagnetic field which, through a chain of physical processes at the ionosphere – atmosphere boundary level, generates acoustic-gravity waves the audible range of which has been heard by people in the form of a frightening low-frequency sound in different parts of our planet.
“In both cases, even though the causes of acoustic-gravity waves are of a quite understandable geophysical nature, they are indicative of the expected significant increase in solar activity and the geodynamic activity of our planet. There is no doubt that processes in the core rule the internal energy of our planet, therefore, we should expect by the end of 2012 a sharp rise in strong earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis and extreme weather events with peak levels in 2013 – 2014.”
Comments
One component of the noise may be gas, Hydrates being released.one can only imagine the enormous pressures of methane and other trapped gases, in the mantle. now one little point here. Listening to Jim maccaney he pours scorn on the plate tectonic theory, which I need to understand in more depth. our knowledge of the earth, what exactly it is that is moving during the stretching of the mantle, before and after earthquakes , we need to be clear. based upon this knowledge we can the decide the full mechanism of how these sounds are being created, if indeed they are from gas release and piezo electric effects.
Thats as good an explanation I have heard so far :)
this is my belief, these are probably piezo eleectric releases as the crust shifts, but another thought, if the earths magnet field is weakening, might there also be more energy than usual penetrating the ionosphere, can it be a combination of these events? ancient literature talks of these trumpeting sounds. I think it was Alan And Delair in the book, 'cataclysm' who posited the theory that massive electrical discharges from one solar body to a planet , lets say comet, would rut in humulgous lightening bolts, that would seer the land, in fact it has bee suggested the Carolina basins this round indents in the ground may have been forged by such energy discharges. the idea is these energy bolts cause trumpeting sounds in the atmosphere. I doubt if that s the cause of the sounds at the moment, I think it may be caused by a crustal shift.
I used to get it to stop by doing a yawning thing to pop the air in my ears. It doesn't help now.
I've got the low level ringing in my right ear (more than the left) which is annoying. But I do get strong ringing from time to time which comes and lasts for a few seconds. It is like somebody will turn it on, turn up the volume, then the volume goes down till it's gone.
Mine started some years ago while in 29 Palms California (about 1991). It was infrequent until recently and has seemed to have increased. I feel a pulsing daily, sometimes it can be more intense than other days.
I have also had this pulsingin my ears for over a year ... it started off low, and has slowly gone louder.
There was comments about people being diagnosed with tinnitus. I too get that annoying ringing as well. So, if there is a correlation, guess I'm hearing the earth cry.
