The Loudest Sound Ever Recorded Came From an Ice quake

The Loudest Sound Ever Recorded Came From an Ice quake

And it would take 15 years before Scientists from NOAA's, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration would find out the origin of this sound. Researchers discovered this sound in 1997 at the Southern Pacific while researchers were listening for volcanic activity underwater with microphones.

These underwater microphones, called hydrophones are located all over the Pacific and cover an area of more than 2000 Miles (3,219 Kilometers).

Many theories have been going around about what this sound could be. Speculations started and people started wondering if this sound could be a giant squid perhaps a whale, or something living in the deep dark ocean that has not been discovered yet?

Because it was such a unique distinguished sound it became known as "The Bloop" and this sound was coming from an icequake breaking apart an iceberg from an Antarctic glacier and that cracking noise reached all the way to the microphones of the researchers.
