From MönchenGladbach in NRW, Germany, on January 22nd.
If this isn’t real it’s very good theater. I have to be honest, if this is fake it makes me angry and I want people to stop. I haven’t seen a video in a while that gives me chills.
Picture the scene…a family in their cozy home on a Sunday evening. They have a cute little puppy named Benji who they’re trying to teach tricks. It’s a sweet scene that goes from domestic playtime to unexplained horror. Hollywood couldn’t have done a better job. Someone urging the puppy to roll over is interrupted by the family cockatoo that begins to flutter and fly about as if frightened. The mister in the film asks, “what is that droning?” He complains of the pipes making noise again and tells the person filming to be sure to record it as proof there’s a problem. Suddenly they realize it’s not the pipes afterall, but rather the sound is coming from outdoors. They open the door and the sound seems to enter the home like an unwanted visitor. Stepping outside to investigate, the witnesses are met with a loud sort of droning. They walk closer to the source and it seems to increase in volume. “Is it a plane?” they ask. Just as the cockatoo freaked out before, now Benji is whining. The man assures the dog it’s going to be okay. The end.
It has lots of jerky camera movements and good commentary. I don’t speak german so I can’t judge the sincerity of the witnesses. To me it sounds like a table saw cutting through thick wood. Yet somehow it doesn’t. They have provided us with translation bubbles. Another rare one here. We never see animals reacting and certainly a bird is not one I would expect to see. If this is real I don’t like it one bit.
plus: sound is definitely outside and coming from somewhere, it’s at night which maybe rules out construction, good commentary, a perfect length, dog and bird reacting.
minus: in a city where sounds can be anything, timing is very coincidental with recent events, follows my guidelines perfectly.
this one is def. authentic.
The place is close to Belgium were we had another video with the same sound on the 19th.
Nice find Jay.
So he was filming to provide proof to someone to fix the pipes, caught at the end of filming the dog…makes sense. I wonder how he decided to put it online…if he went on and looked up weird sounds and found all the others or if someone he knew suggested it. Just curious about how it goes from an inconspicuous video to an addition to the sounds-related videos.
I feel it is real for sure.
I live right on the ocean…tankers and cruise ships pass my deck all the time en route to Alaska. If I heard that sound at night I honestly would simply think it was coming from a ship on the water. I wonder how many people who live near the ocean have heard these sounds and have dismissed them as coming from some ship….
I think it’s real too. They are really hearing “something” whether explainable or not.
I hear the noises here in the east of the UK. They were going last night in fact. I heard a very similar sound to this German one about a month ago. I posted the audio here: http://audioboo.fm/boos/597377-gorleston-uk-weird-atmospherics
I shared it at the time on ats, post here:

thread787883/pg1
My username is causal. I tried to analyse the sound, and I was quite pleased to see that the frequency of my sound is very similar to the frequency of some other ones analysed on the thread. t
It’s his kid he is talking to at the beg. and playing with the dog. Also isn’t it the kid who says “close the door, it’s fucking cold”. I don’t buy it, what dad doesn’t remonstrate his kid when swearing and on a SUNDAY NIGHT! LOL Is it the kid playing with the dog? Is it the kid who wants the door shut?
I removed the gender from the post because I’m not sure if it’s a woman that sounds like a kid or if it’s a kid. The bad language led me to guess it was a woman.
My dad wouldn’t care. We’re a very rude family and swear nonstop >:D
I totally felt it was a couple and their pets…
I just found your blog because my city in Ontario, Canada just had a phenomena of sky sounds…there are several videos up on YT about it…here’s just a few…

I am in no way affiliated with any of these people, just creeped out.
(PS. You should have a way for users to submit the things they find…unless I’ve just missed where that is done…if so, I apologize.)
Thank you Samantha!
They are a couple. I think he calls her honey or something like that at some point.
Anyway the video seems genuine and if it’s a fake then the guys deserves a directors award of some kind.
There are a lot of people making money by their youtube videos so for somebody may worth doing a nice fake in order to take advantage of the publicity these sounds gained lately.
I suggest for each video to check the users profile so that if there is someone with several videos, having lots of hits, or even stating that he gets money out of this (or having a channel, with adds, etc) to raise the suspicion level.
But at around 24 seconds the man says ‘you don’t have to do what mummy says’
I call myself “mummy” to my cat when I talk to him, and my husband as “poppy.” –
and I have said just about the same thing to my cat – like when my husband calls him over to mess with him – I will say, “don’t do it Pippin – he’ll just take you down the road to ruin. don’t go over there, stay over here with mummy.”
this is a couple, because he calls her “darling” 2 or 3 times.
You people DO realize that there are individuals who are VERY SKILLED at putting things like this together, right? With the home technology we have it’s not that hard at all. Its been done for almost a couple decades now. As an electronic musician, I could create a video of “strange sounds” in 5 minutes with my cellphone camera and a synth with quick post editing tweaks. No one, aside from a professional with sophisticated equipment, would be able to tell it was a fake. That being said, there is no way someone who is not very familiar with audio technology can validate ANY of these videos authenticity without actually witnessing the event (except for that one where you can see the tripods from War of the Worlds fade in and out of shot – and idiots still argue that video is “real”).
People are MAKING MONEY off of youtube. What do you expect? They’re going to get more elaborate for that reason alone. Please stop buying into this. There is still absolutely no genuine evidence to support any of these claims. Show me masses of people all hearing it at once, police reports, news broadcasts where the ‘sound’ is actually caught, newspaper articles, etc. *Then it may be credible. I find it very strange that there are areas of the world that have posted nothing…and yes, they have the ability. Remember the Egyption uprising? Libian civil war? All broadcast on youtube, facebook, and twitter yet there is nothing posted from them about *this garbage. Probably because they have more important things to worry about than some silly viral hoax.
By the way, my cockatoo HATES when my kids are watching “Arthur” cartoons. He goes nuts. PBS MUST therefore be the source of these “sounds”……….
I agree with you totally. I don’t really buy into it. I just present the videos and discuss them. They are intriguing fake or not. I’m very careful not to fear monger. I just like reviewing them.
Well said. I agree, Im sceptical but equally intrigued.
I think he is talking to the dog or the bird, because logically the couple would be the parents to the pets.
Just a side note: how much ya wanna bet there will be an influx in “strange sound” videos tomorrow? Mostly from the Northern world…. with the massive CME we have going on (which may be large, but still totally normal) planes have altered their northern routes and are flying at *far lower altitudes to avoid issues. I have no doubt the ‘jet/rumbling sound’ will show up. People will hear that for real, sure, and it will be heard for many miles as the cold air is dense and sound carries well in it – but it’s just Air Canada – not the apocalypse.
i need to double check, but I believe aircraft routinely fly lower during solar eruptions, and naturally we’ve had many the last year or so as the cycle peaks next year. Food for thought.
Hey, Anne. I was thinking the same…
They said on the NBC news tonight that there were going to be widespread Aurora Borealis action over the northern skies as far south as Pennsylvania because of the massive solar flare. Traditionally, some people swear they hear an electrical hum beneath the Aurora, maybe due to the electrical field over the polar regions, but not everyone believes that is true. It would be amazing to watch some of the Aurora videos in the next few days to compare any sounds captured to these other sounds from the sky.
That said, I’m a little discouraged by this video you posted. Usually people make videos of other people, but these seem to mainly be taking pictures of the floor. The pets seem authentic, and I can understand that it’s cold outside, but there’s not one recognizable feature from that apartment or outside that would help you recognize where it was taken, and that makes me think it might be a hoax. But a very good one – it plays out like a horror movie.
Very good points!
“some people swear they hear an electrical hum beneath the Aurora, maybe due to the electrical field over the polar regions”
Now THAT I can believe, especially the farther north one is (Alaska for example). That’s something that can (and probably has) been scientifically investigated. It’s true these storms have an effect on our power grids and other electronics – we know that for sure. 1989 was an especially hard year on our grids. Gawd forbid we have another Carrington event. What would the world do without youtube!?
I like totally rational reasoning. I have a huge problem with speculation and hysteria.
Well Anne that’s what we’re trying to find out over here..
For me, i wish all these are fake (and possibly the vast majority of these videos are) but if some of them are genuine then they need more attention.
It is absolutely natural to have electrical noise near the poles but as south as Spain and Brazil it is not natural. Not natural at all.
What troubles me the most are the same sounds being reported in the years before and after the Carrington event. There is a post here in the Historical section for those sounds in 1851 and 1864.
That post made me start monitoring these sounds.
wow that is where I have heard this sound! I recall watching some show about the auroras – which fascinate me since I live in the south and have only seen snow once – and there was a background sound like this. I always assumed it was added for effect and had nothing to do with the actual events.
Anne, I firmly believe the reason there is not widespread reports of the sounds is down to people not thinking there is anything to it. I have posted previously that if I had heard a strange sound coming from the air before I was ever aware there was a sound-phenomenon going on, I would not react, I would wonder what it was and chalk it up to maybe a plane, or a boat…I would not have thought it was anything earth-related. I think this is how the majority of people would react.
“I firmly believe the reason there is not widespread reports of the sounds is down to people not thinking there is anything to it.”
…And they’re probably right. At least nothing that isn’t typical in regards to *true* naturally occurring sounds or that of trains, cars, trucks, airplanes, etc. Your next sentence illustrates why: “I have posted previously that if I had heard a strange sound coming from the air before I was ever aware there was a sound-phenomenon going on, I would not react, I would wonder what it was and chalk it up to maybe a plane, or a boat…I would not have thought it was anything earth-related. ”
Key: “before I was ever aware there was a sound-phenomenon going on…”
You did not consider there was a phenomenon before someone *told you* there was a “phenomenon”. This is an example of communal reinforcement. People are now listening for every and any sound that they may be able to connect to this ‘virus’ because they’ve heard about it on the internet. The cyber community is reinforcing the notion that what one is hearing is “strange” or “apocalyptic”. Whether it’s earth or man-made.
Truth is, the earth makes lots of sounds. Some we can hear, most we can’t. Some occur rarely, while others are very common. Google search “earth sounds”. It’s interesting reading.
I have yet to hear anyone I know personally state they’ve heard *anything* out of the ordinary; and I’m referencing people in other countries as well – some even in the same areas as several of these videos.
I would add as a PLUS on your credibility scale the fact that the cell phone camera is not held right-side-up. This gives me the impression that they were not familiar with filming using the cell phone camera. This was the case when I filmed “Strange weird noise coming from sky.12/5/11 TN”. That video was actually filmed sideways as well because I was ignorantly holding the cell phone the wrong way. (My son helped me use the youtube feature that turned the video upright) I tend to believe they were hearing something unfamiliar to them. Something they could not explain. Something outside their natural environment.
(I’m sure now there will be tons of of folks posting FAKE sideways videos. My apologies.)
Good catch! I guess my posts are helping people look for clues like this.
Yes! Your post are excellent! Strange Sounds In the Sky.Com is by far the best site on the web for neutral, credible, unbiased, commentary and documentation that I have found concerning these events. I have found that a lot of the sites on the web tend to be agenda biased. Your reviews are fair, balanced and provide a well thought out critical analysis.
This video definitely is a different find. I mean it really does seem like something out of a movie.
There is much I could say about this one in terms of what is believable and what’s not but, I would just be rambling.
HOWEVER, there is one thing that confuses me about this. I clearly hear the droning sound that sounds like a Electric Wood Saw? Jet Engine? Something along those lines. They even mention that it sounds like there is something wrong with the pipes that could go along with it.
If that is what they are hearing, then what is that sound that keeps playing at regular intervals in the background that sounds like a sound effect from a movie? You know that 2-note sound that keeps stopping and playing?
I mean I definitely hear the droning noise, but what is that? And why is the sound quality of that so crystal clear in comparison to all the other sounds and voices in the video?
Good question Anon. I thought it was the kid squeezing a plastic dog toy to get the dog excited.
Are you sure you and I are talking about the same noise here? I am talking about the soundtrack-ish noise that starts around the 3:10 mark. It is not the droning saw/engine like sound which I am assuming they are talking about in the video, but that 2-note sound that sounds like a suspense sound effect and is in perfect sound quality in comparison to the rest of the video, at least to my ears.
I’m from Brazil. State Parana, Curitiba city, neighborhood Pinheirinho, and I swear I heard this noise in 2011. Identical to this one. Amazing that. I’m across the world and witnessed these sounds. I did not record because when I heard it, I had never seen any news about it, but this is scaring me, because it is the same sound, and I’ve heard in several videos.
I believe not score if you do not hear. But tell me, how does one make that up, and put the same sound I heard??
So I say, who does not believe, are the people who have not heard. All this makes me wonder, what is it? What are these sounds??
Are we very close to revealing something for humanity?
you heard this same sound? The Drone in this video? or the “snoring sound” in the Oshawa video. Because you posted the exact same comment for both videos – and each video has a different sound.
you obviously copied and pasted – but perhaps you used notepad first to make sure your comment didn’t contain any typos – I’ve done that, and accidentally pasted what you wanted to say on the wrong thread, then pasted it to the correct thread. You should clarify exactly WHICH video has the “same sound”
but — your last sentance tells me something else.
Sorry Ruth. He was with two pages open and posted the wrong comment. It is in this video. It is eerily similar sound.
As I had never heard of this subject did not listen.
Came home from my job, at 23:40 pm. Access the Internet, and was listening to music with headphones, but the sound was so strong, that caught my attention.
Hr were between 1:00 and 3:00 in the morning when I heard, I do not remember for sure, but lasted about 40 minutes.
At first I thought a truck engine, and every 10, 15 seconds was that noise, like a trumpet or horn, extremely high.
I thought it was a neighbor away, going to travel with your truck.
But it was totally abnormal, after 5 minutes of noise.
Who would be honking at dawn?
During 40 minutes?
Very strange, and I am fascinated in this subject, just because they heard.
It was real, and frightening, is to hear the same sound in another part of the world.
I’ll alert this time and hear it again, I will write to you.
Hugs.
That’s the most scary video I have ever seen in this site
Agreed!

Their dog starts to panic.. they need to keep an eye on your pets.. if your pets start acting extreme and weird its time to ‘get out’ and go someplace. Even if you don’t want to; they probably know whats going on more then we do.
Had right now nearly the same sound in eastern germany.
March, the 17th 2012 at about 00:30 MEZ I was looking TV when I began to hear some humming. First I thought it was coming from the TV, but I muted it and heard it was coming from the outside. I opened the window and heard the exact same tone like in the video above. However it didn’t change its loudness like in the video but was very constant. The frequency and the kind of sound was absolutely the same as one can hear in the video. After about 2-3 minutes it stopped suddenly. Unlike the end, the beginning of the tone was increasing with about 20 seconds to its max.
I have never heard this kind of sound before here were I live and it was as loud as a chainsaw in about 100 meter distance. It was nighttime and no other sounds were around.
I found your site after searching the internet for an explanation. Now I am really astounded that this hole thing has a community…
