Why. Im just giving out information about these strange noises. This isnt a hoax unless private companys can make massive sounds which shake buildings that are undetectable. I want to know the cause of these sounds. And if you have a legit answer please say so. There are plenty of new sources in this thread from me and other posters that these sounds are real. If you think this is some conspiracy then you are the one spreading that crap.

Why must it take them so many years to give us what we all want, EP3 or HL3. erg. my brain hurts.

Seriously, what is wrong with you? The OP hasn't made any claims at all.
"My question to the tl community is what is the source of these sounds?"
Maybe i'm just blind, but could you quote the claims OP has made, because i can't find any of them.

I extracted the Kiev file and played around with it a bit in praat/audacity.
It looks like a small set (2 or 3) of sounds that have been acoustically transposed up and down and then overlaid on each other.
Its hard to really neatly unpack a messy audio file like this, but the strongest evidence for it is that a lot of the sounds that have identical pitch also have identical duration-- not something we'd expect if it was a natural phenomenon, or even a recorded sound.
EDIT: Also, the sounds are 'layered' in the spectrograph, also indicating its acoustically altered. I'll upload a screenshot in a sec.

Some guys said the sounds from kiev were actually construction works.

So it's either that, aliens, the lizard people or fake. :D

I don't get it... have anyone even checked if it isn't just the person filming added the sound ? And before you say "Well what about people around the world !" just google alien sighting, ghosts or whatever... trust me there a millions of people across the world who claim all matter of things.

"My question to the tl community is what is the source of these sounds?" Maybe i'm just blind, but could you quote the claims OP has made, because i can't find any of them. Lots of people hear like to put words(or text) into peoples mouths.The only possible claim I could have made is these sounds are real. Which I think when several different videos, witnesses(in science these mean nothing, that I know) and news reports that is enough "evidence" for me to say these sounds are real. And their source is unknown. Lots of people on youtube and other sites are saying these are caused by HAARP, which is valid but I don't know enough about HAARP or the evidence behind this claim to say this is a plausible source of the sounds. In Kiev there is a tunnel being build and the news video says(I understand Russian, and ukranian is close enough for me to understand at least 60% of the video) that this is a video hoax and someone edited this footage and there are no witnesses that live in the area that heard these sounds. Which is a completely plausible explaination. If it isnt construction, it is a hoax in Ukrain.
But the windsor/florida and videos from other regions are not explainable by construction(presumably because councillor said there is no contruction going on in that area). They are not a hoax either because plenty of people called the police, and dailing 911 for a giant hoax multiple times is extremely unsafe and if this is some movie promotion then they will probably be arrested for those unnessacary calls to 911. The councillor will lose his job and all witnesses have lied. (windsor area is where the 911 calls took place, I have no idea about the florida video or any other regions videos like these came from)
From the evidence that I have seen and the footage taken there really is no plausible source of these sounds that I can think of, if someone else can and support it with evidence I will be glad to accept that explaintion, because I will not accept "this is an alien UFO/collosus making noises for their own giant global project".

Here is a spectrograph of a short audio clip of the kiev noises.
I'd be pretty confident saying its a single sound or three that are acoustically altered, layered, and re-mixed into a single file. i.e. someone just mixed it with software.

ohh noeees. gogogog flame.
the only problem with OP is that he did not make any visible distinctions between two probably unrelated "unexplained sound phenomenons". so if anyone of you would criticise him for this... ALRIGHT. you're correct. but other than that... please try to discuss this on a higher level than you do right now. ty.

Just saying, i think when a person says he has seen a ufo / alien / ghost whatever, that person actually did see something so it's not like they're just making it up (sure, some of them make it up). Something was there, they experienced something, but it doesn't have to be the thing they claimed they saw.
He saw a UFO and thought it was aliens from space, turns out it was a weather balloon. The point i'm trying to make is, that person saw something, just like all those people heard something. Now what it is, we still have to find out.

I don't want to make any claims of the origin of the sounds as long as i'm not provided with all the facts needed to make such claim, but i also don't want to say "it's fake" or "they're just imagining thing" either for the same reason.
