That could be happening, I suppose. I just don't see how. Light is massless particles (photons) moving as a wave, sound is a series of compression waves moving through massed particles. One goes almost 200,000 miles per second, the other goes about 700 miles an hour. They are just so completely different...I don't see how light from space can convert into sounds.

I can kinda see what you mean, sorta, but....these people have lived around snow and snowplows all their lives. You think suddenly, out of nowhere, they are just completely baffled by snowplow noises?
A friend of mine said the same sort of thing when I showed him the Costa Rica sounds. He claimed it was ocean waves. As if an entire nation of people who have spent their lives living on the coast would suddenly flip out over wave sounds.
I'm not buying that.

Not so.. a video posted on the 1st page as described by a scientist: electromagnetic waves from space etc..
Check out SPACESOUNDS.COM and listen to all the really creepy, strange and even similar to this thread
Yeah, but...."electromagnetic" means it's radiation of some kind. X-rays, gamma rays, infrared, ulra-violet, radio waves, UHF, VHF, visible spectrum light, etc., are all "electromagnetic." But you can't 'hear' electromagnetic waves/radiation!
The "space sounds" you link to are awesome, but they were recorded by picking up radio waves from space with an antenna or radio telescope and then converting them to sound. When you listen to an FM station, your car stereo is doing the same thing to the radio waves on the frequency of that station. The difference is that the space sounds didn't start out as actual audio that was encoded into a radio wave for transmission. So the "decoding" of the space sounds is sort of an artificial way to allow you to "hear" something that never was a sound at all...in fact it was a lot more like light than sound.
So the scientist saying it was electromagnetic waves from space is really strange. Electromagnetic waves from space do not suddenly turn into sound waves when they hit the earth's atmosphere. If they did, sunlight would be one long loud noise instead of bright light.

It sounds very natural like of this ilk:
Really very natural so if the sounds are just occurring now and in 2012 how come they haven't been heard in 2008 or 06? i find that claim hard to believe.

It would have been a interesting theory if it wasnt for the fact that this cycle is weaker than the last ones.
Even though sun is nearing solar maximum, it is something that normally happens every 11 years on average.
Here is the last update for the progression of current cycle as well as predicted strength:
As you can see the previous solar maximum was quite a bit stronger and current activity is nowhere near where it peaked during last few cycles. So this is so far the weakest cycle in many decades.edit on 25-1-2012 by juleol because: (no reason given)
It would only occur if atmospheric conditions were exactly right - and strange noises have been heard before like in Bristol in the 70's so this is viable - right now were experiencing unusual weather patterns, so perhaps these are the right conditions.
You seem to be asserting it must be aliens or the end of times seriously dude, get a grip

Thanks for that excellent answer. Yes indeed, light photons are said to be massless, but how then is it believed that light cannot escape a blackhole's gravity field?
Either photons do have some negligible mass, or is it that the space itself around the blackhole is being warped by gravity, as in Einstein's STR, thus the massless photons are trapped in a warped space paradox?

Maybe the council have started doing snow plowing during the night instead of the day perhaps that would account for the people not realising what it was.

This is hilarious!
Until I hear anything in the UK im calling peoples bluff!

Sound is a mechanical wave. In order to convert electromagnetic waves into sound you would need a speaker (or something like it). I would like to know exactly what he's trying to say here... The term "electromagnetic noise" can only be used to describe an electromagnetic wave interfering with another electromagnetic signal. People cannot "hear" electromagnetic waves.edit on 25-1-2012 by sonik because: (no reason given)edit on 25-1-2012 by sonik because: (no reason given)
scroll back and find the Jupiter noise..it kinda matches...I think we have problems and nobody is fessing up...problems like how is space noise getting in and how it would get in, kinda problems
Ya, interesting. however, even that is electromagnetic waves between 20Hz and 20000Hz converted to sound by the satellite. So if planet sounds is what it is...... the question is how is it being converting to sound....
