Wow, industry sure is loud these days. Lots of “snoring” factories in the world.
As you may recall, a very strange sky sound was recorded in Kota Samarahan, Malaysia, that residents described as “snoring”. The original article by the Borneo Post Online will give you background here. The incident occurred Jan 11th and 12th. You can also read the original post here.
In an article from the Borneo Post entitled Rumble just sound from palm oil mill, after all, the official government explanation is covered. As I reported previously, the Malaysian government began to take the incident seriously when it became a viral media sensation.
I’m pretty sure the US and Canada governments would never take sounds recorded in YT videos or witness accounts very seriously. However, it was taken seriously by the Malaysian government because there seemed to be a certain amount of hysteria over the reports. This says to me the Malaysian government doesn’t mess around and seeks quell the fears of it’s citizens. Most of the fear came from the belief in something supernatural. I’m guessing, but I imagine the Borneo Post never expected the incident to be taken seriously.
The Malaysian National Space Agency and Meteorological Department did an investigation and the conclusion is that it’s industrial related. The article says:
The so-called ‘rumble in the sky’ over Kota Samarahan near here on Jan 11 and 12 was explained by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation as the whistling sound of steam released through a vent in a Felcra palm oil mill. It said the whistling sound was due to steam which the factory released to the air in the wee hours of Jan 11 and 12 when it was in operation.
MORE AFTER THE JUMP…
The factory was required to recreate the sound as they did January 11th and 12th. It would be nice to see a video.
I’d imagine you have a lot to say about this.

I am actually from Singapore, just beside Malaysia, and these people do believe heavily in supernatural stuff (they’re mostly of the islamic faith) and black magic and occult is a big part of life in some parts there too so they are always very fearful of such things. I don’t believe it was the palm oil mill because there were accounts of people rushing to the mill during the roars and there was no sound coming from it, but I don’t think it is something supernatural either. Most likely just solar flares, as we are slowly discovering. Whatever it was, it seemed to only have happened those two times so I’m sure it’s been long forgotten.
Yes, I don’t believe it’s the factory either….but I understand why they wanted to put people at ease. The Oshawa sound is the same and it’s too coincidental. I think it’s natural even though it’s really odd. If people didn’t have camera phones we would have never heard about this.
haha exactly, and nobody would have believed these poor bewildered villagers..
They say that the factory made a whistling noise, which would be a high-pitched sound. The snoring sound in the videos does not seem high pitched at all.
They did the same with UFO in the 40s-50s and then with Abductions in the 60s to 70s and then crop circles in the 90′s and now with the sounds.
The Illuminati, Military Industrial Complex are masters at infiltrating any truth out there. They just diluted this truth with countless fake videos on youtube. Wake up people, there is actually weird sound all over the world and go to alternative media to find the truth.
Thanks for the website, you are doing a great job..
Those “scienticst” say the sound comes from oil palm factory. Try to persuade them by making simillar sound but the question is .. WHY oil palm factory working in wee hours ? Another is, the sound could be heard 8KM AWAY !!! Either that or the oil palm factory is running using Nucklear power.
Agreed! I just didn’t want to say it in the article.
