What the hell is that noise?

Hey guys! I'm back! Just been spending more time focusing on my school work. Now that I'm all caught up, and reasonably assured that I won't fall behind again, I figured I'd start posting again. Anyways, a few weeks ago I was trolling the internet (metaphorically and literally) and I stumbled upon an article in Cracked that gave me chills. Apparently there are noises out there that were recorded by NOAA, and they have no idea what the hell made those noises. Just thought I'd pose the question to you, what the hell are these noises?

One advantage to not being a theist is having the ability to say, "I don't know."

Anything which no one else is able to explain is caused or created by God e.g. the cosmos. So I suppose that is God causing the noises.

But seriously, the bloop sound? It is believed to be biological, and is 200 times louder than a blue whale.

No, maybe it is aliens. Can't you just see them now, in orbit in their invisible flying saucer, and one turns to the others and says, "Watch this, I bet THIS will really confuse them!"

It's the Call of Cthulhu, obviously. That means that within a thousand years, we're all going to be sent to oblivion by the old, dark one.

Always question all authorities because the authority you don't question is the most dangerous... except me, never question me.

As much as I like the dolphin farts suggestion, I strongly suspect they are completely explainable, it's just they don't know how yet. I draw this conclusion based on the fact everything so far in the history of the universe thought to be something mystical, once understood, never has been.

Welcome back by the way.

it's the sound of water boiling. for us FSM'ers, it makes sense. It is Heaven.

One of the most irrational of all the conventions of modern society is the one to the effect that religious opinions should be respected....That they should have this immunity is an outrage. There is nothing in religious ideas, as a class, to lift them above other ideas. On the contrary, they are always dubious and often quite silly.
