The program's own page for the Bloop. States that the broadband sounds recorded in summer 1997 are consistent with icequakes from large icebergs cracking, that hydrophones in the Scotia Sea recorded many icequakes with similar spectrograms while tracking iceberg A53a in early 2008, that such icequakes are heard at over 5,000 km, and that the arrival azimuth puts the source between Bransfield Strait and the Ross Sea, or at Cape Adare. Links the recording (sped up 16 times) and comparison sounds of calving and iceberg harmonic tremor. **Bloop and NOAA's unexplained ocean sounds** Web pageCopy of **[The Bloop recording](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/noaa-ocean-sounds/artifacts/ART0D9C7SQT2DSN/the-bloop-recording)** Checked against the original0 ## What it's used for here The primary statement of the attribution and the source of the Bloop audio and spectrogram. ## Cited by on this site 13 records [The Bloop was one or more icequakes from a large iceberg cracking somewhere between Bransfield Strait and the…](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/noaa-ocean-sounds/answers/ANS0D9C7GYJ6Y2Y/the-bloop-was-one-or-more-icequakes-from-a-large-iceberg) Answer ANS [The Bloop recording](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/noaa-ocean-sounds/artifacts/ART0D9C7SQT2DSN/the-bloop-recording) ART [The Bloop recording: audio](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/noaa-ocean-sounds/copies/CPY0D9C7SZM4Y5W/the-bloop-recording-audio) CPY [The Bloop recording: document](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/noaa-ocean-sounds/copies/CPY0D9C7T7E6AFS/the-bloop-recording-document) CPY [Its spectrogram resembles icequakes recorded in the Scotia Sea from iceberg A53a.](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/noaa-ocean-sounds/evidence/EVD0D9C7H6C7H9S/its-spectrogram-resembles-icequakes-recorded-in-the-scotia) Evidence EVD [Its spectrogram resembles icequakes recorded in the Scotia Sea.](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/noaa-ocean-sounds/evidence/EVD0D9C7FQG2BND/its-spectrogram-resembles-icequakes-recorded-in-the-scotia) Evidence EVD [The Bloop's bearing points between Bransfield Strait and the Ross Sea, far from shipping lanes.](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/noaa-ocean-sounds/evidence/EVD0D9C7G745WX2/the-bloops-bearing-points-between-bransfield-strait-and-the) Evidence EVD [The bearing, spectrum comparison and source iceberg are not published in any peer-reviewed paper.](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/noaa-ocean-sounds/evidence/EVD0D9C7HXT47N9/the-bearing-spectrum-comparison-and-source-iceberg-are-not) Evidence EVD [The Bloop is recorded](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/noaa-ocean-sounds/events/EVT0D9C7AKE6X0W/the-bloop-is-recorded) EVT [The Bloop and NOAA's unexplained ocean sounds](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/noaa-ocean-sounds) The mystery article MYS [NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory Acoustics Program](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/noaa-ocean-sounds/organisations/ORG0D9C78WR292A/noaa-pacific-marine-environmental-laboratory-acoustics) ORG [Was the Bloop an icequake, and from which iceberg?](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/noaa-ocean-sounds/questions/QST0D9C7CHY4R4M/was-the-bloop-an-icequake-and-from-which-iceberg) Question QST [What made the loud unidentified sounds recorded by NOAA's Pacific hydrophones in the 1990s?](https://mysteriesdept.com/mysteries/noaa-ocean-sounds/questions/QST0D9C7CA41BJB/what-made-the-loud-unidentified-sounds-recorded-by-noaas) Question QST ## Cite it ``` NOAA Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory, A.
