UPDATE 2/1: The official explanation is here.
UPDATE 1/20: Oh my goodness. The goverment there is taking it seriously! Link here. Thanks Andrea for the tip.
———-
A very strange sky sound was recorded in Kota Samarahan, Malaysia, that residents described as “snoring”. This was actually covered in an article by Borneo Post Online which you can read here. The incident occurred Jan 11th and 12th.
Frightened residents say they were awakened by the mystery sound at around 2am. The sound was not directional and seemed to come from the sky. It lasted until 5am.
Mohd Ferdauz Jemain, a school teacher, managed to recorded the event. Many witnesses nearby also claim to have heard the noise. Mr. Ferdauz stated that he saw a strange pattern in the sky the morning of the 12th. From his description it would seem he is talking about chemtrails. There is some speculation by the witness that it was related to HAARP. Later the same day a 7.3 earthquake hit neighboring Indonesia. Read my opinion about HAARP, chemtrails and earthquakes here.
Insert 1/17: Some more HAARP info at Stop the Madness blog. They have lined up HAARP activity dates with a recent “sky roaring” type video on YT. It’s a bit technical but if you are interested it’s good theory. Not sure where he got this info. Link is here.
Thanks to Mike for the tip on this story.
This one below is the first but the sound is very hard to hear. The second one above is very clear.
UPDATE 1/18: Supposedly this video below was filmed by a different resident of Kota Samarahan on Jan 12th.
UPDATE: I JUST FOUND THIS IN MY ARCHIVES. This video below from Sweden, November 1st is the same! Here is a link to the post here. Wow. I’m upgrading this on the scale to a perfect 10.
plus: sounds genuine, was covered in local news, witnessed by many
minus: this is an entirely new sound unrelated to any, we can no longer trust the news media after a dubbed video was presented in the Costa Rica event (see post below)

Maybe the planet we live in cries.
pelik la ko ni.. hahaa
yes and…..anything else to say?
Gney la nya x nangis, org cucok2 nya ko… tnyak kw lagik…
I heard the strange sound one night a few. Ights ago actually. I wasn’t able to sleep so I went to get a glass of milk and went out for a cig I could hear this loud rumbling sound I thought it might have been a bulldozer or one of those machines that clear the roads… It was like rusty metal doors or when a bulldozer digs in frozen ground I thought “ever late to be working at this hour” then I realized the sound was coming from above and all over thought maybe an echo in a distance I heard dogs. Arming but they had no echo when the sound stopped I thought nothing more of it and went to bed. I go online and the past few days people were commenting hearing strange sounds too around the same I googled it and saw it wasn’t just here. My first thought now… Read up the bible. Because as a child I remembered reading something about trumpets in the sky…. Eerie!
yep men, do u know wts going to happen , ? u are fucked and everyone in the world too… world is near to end and we all giogn to die ? why ? coz we are doing everything wrong that hurt earth . too much things we use are huring the envornemnt and eventually the world . so that just fucking be ready for it …. rest in peace people
In Revelations they refer to the Seven Angels who had the Seven Trumpets that, if I remember correctly, the first six heralded the end of the world, and with the seventh came the words “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” (Revelation 11:15).
I personally don’t think that these sounds have anything to do with Trumpets being talked about in the Bible. Then again, I’ve been wrong before and could be wrong again. I imagine the Trumpets of Heaven would sound less… eerie? And there is a lot of death and destruction that is supposed to go on with them as well. That being said, I don’t think anyone here is looking for a religious debate about what is going on. But I did want to say that bringing up the Trumpets really sparked something for me, it got me thinking. So thank you for bringing up that point.
Considering how the Bible is man-made and has been modified and abridged several times throughout history (hiding the Apocrypha and whatnot), there is a remote possibility that powerful people are trying to “create the apocalypse” in order to spread massive chaos and panic amongst the populace. This falls into the same category as the Blue Beam theory, but if people are repeating the trumpets gimmick time and again, it may very well be on purpose.
sound seems to be in the beginning of this video:

Hey, you need to get on twitter so I can keep updated when new posts are made.
Hi, my name is cronos.

What’s the update about this chronos guy? I woul like to read what he has to say.
I already think I might be going crazy, so nothing to worry about here!! Prey tell what thee knows my man
This stuff has cought my intrest a week ago i was out on my deck smoking a cig.And i hear this faint noise which grew rapidly louder but then as fast as it had started it was gone i cant say it was sky noises or any thing like that But it was preaty weird kinda left the hair on the back of you neck sticking up.but i think there is a compleatly logical reason for these noises whether fake or not.But in some of these videos i will say sounds like it was ripped from the dragons that fly in the back ground in skyrim.Sounds like some one ripped the audio from that and blened it together with the back ground noise but i could be wroung.But i like you blog i think you take a logical stand point on it all and i think its good you stay open minded have a good one guys hope fully we find out what it all is.
3 shark attacks in Australia this month alone,.sharks respond and detect changes in magnetic fields……..just a thought.
good thought!
Thank you Andrea. I imagine we’ll all be sitting in front of our computers January 20, 2013. Climate change is real but not necessarily related to Mayan prophecy. Expect the idea to be quaint next year as with Y2K, Harold Camping and Elenin.

This is not a fake thing, we are the residents of Samarahan, in Malaysia also heard the same which shown here on Jan 11 & 12 2012 which lasted from pass midnight till early dawn. Some of our colleague manage to record the event, because we awaken by the noise. Its really a serious matter. “Kamek xtwk bha pa bunyi ya ko, tensen aku. Kdak org tdo brguruh jak, tpi bunyi ya rah luar cnun. Xda aq tgga org polah konset pkul 2 pagi ko.. “
I’m the one who also witnesses this event. I’m from Kota Samarahan.

It’s the Dajjal Al-Masih..
Just like to say this site is very refreshing, youtube just has loads of ignorsnt people being abusive to anyone having thoughts about the noises, I assume this is because the masses live in fear of anything unknown, but anyway it is lovely to read REAL thoughts
Thank you. I try.
Hearing strange noises from the sky too in morecambe england UK :/
Get em on tape. We want to hear.
I was awakened around 3 AM by loud noises in the sky over Oshawa, Ontario, Canada both on January 12th, 2012 and on January 23rd, 2012. The noises varied however, with the first from January 12th, 2012 sounding like something coming out of Hell (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtLNmdZTf_g), and the second from January 23rd, 2012 sounding like the videos in this blog. Personally, I’m reading my Bible, and saying my prayers!
Thought you guys might be interested in the ‘findings’ of the investigation.

Fascinating site, thankyou for accumulating all the evidence into one place. I have an open mind as to what these sounds could be. One thing is for sure they remain scary while there is no explanation.
Maybe you could show a world map with the areas of reported sounds marked to show any pattern or geological significance?
Also have the different sounds occured in sequence? Or are they random. What about the timing, in the evenings or mornings. Are certain sounds heard in particular types of weather.
Just wondering if there is any pattern emerging at all. Someone mentioned hearing sky sounds then an earth quake occuring close by the next day. If we could find any type of pattern at all then maybe we would be one step closer to some kind of explanaion.
