The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) operates underwater microphone arrays throughout the world's oceans, going them th ability to listen to goings-on below the surface. Many sounds capture by those hydrophones they recognize--but some, they don't. In this episode I'll share some of these mysterious sounds with you. What do YOU think they are? 

Episode 279–Mystery Sounds

The Southwest Acoustic Ecology Lab conducts passive acoustic monitoring of the marine environment for NOAA Fisheries' Southwest Fisheries Science Center. We are keen on sharing sample sounds with the public and we encourage you to be creative with these sounds! We would love to see (and hear!) what you do with these sounds.

I photograph, record, and write about the natural world. I see, I listen, I write. I fundamentally believe that curiosity can save the world—so I publish stories to make people curious. Ultimately, curiosity leads to discovery, discovery leads to knowledge, knowledge leads to insight, and insight leads to understanding. Please enjoy!
