Several theories

After listening it several times, slowing the speed down to 8x, and speeding it up 32x, here are several theories:

It sounds almost like someone is screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

It sounds like a plane going down.

Actually the frequency that gradually lowens matches the sound of a rotor that is slowing down. Plane, submarine or similar machinery with rotors was my first thought too.--Draco ignoramus sophomoricus (talk) 21:56, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is a FAKE.

It sounds similar to a whale, perhaps in pain?

Also, perhaps this has something to do with the bloop, recorded in the same ocean? Also why is this sound file called "slow down"?--71.116.25.134 20:58, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

After using my ELITE AUIDOGRAPHER SKILLS, I note that it echoes towards the end, and (when very sped up) resembles somewhat the sound of water exchanging places, like a sort of underwater wind. Tar7arus (talk) 20:46, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, like your misspelling of Audio, Elite guy. Anyways, that comment interests me... Is underwater wind possible? Aside from currents of course... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.224.25.70 (talk) 02:47, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lovecraft

Lovecraft fan! There is NO Cthulu, and NO R'lyeh...but there are giant squid. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.83.69.76 (talk) 21:38, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To me, sounds disturbingly similar to the, " LOST ", Theme, like just before the show goes to a commercial. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.41.13.69 (talk) 16:26, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hour of recording

Do someone know, which hour was when this sound apeared? 83.31.232.42 (talk) 13:16, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Roundabout?

Is it me or does the "slow down" phenomena sound like the synth at the beginning of Roundabout by Yes? great song by the way! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.103.160.146 (talk) 06:50, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In and around the lake (ocean) Mountains (big sounds) come out of the sky (air = sound) They stand there (unexplained) 24 to 4 (slowing down) my love I'll be there for you (some kind of mating call) 67.160.174.24 (talk) 04:27, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Its that part of said song? —Preceding unsigned comment added by DrMGinius (talkcontribs) 13:17, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

YES!

merge

Merge with bloop? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.181.125.5 (talk) 00:06, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

16

Why is the sound here and in bloop played at 16 times the original speed? 66.108.167.71 (talk) 03:46, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To make it audible. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 03:49, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, at original speed the sound frequency is too low to be heard by human ears. Irish Techno Zombie (talk) 01:09, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sunken ship?

Could be a ship on the edge of a trench or wedged in one finally breaking apart slowly? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.33.138.221 (talk) 22:16, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
