I have hear the Aurora, and there is exactly the sound , and its posible to hear it in north norway, you go in a forest, ( a forest make a kind of antenna)and sit down , and i it have to be cold, around minus 25- 35. Sorry for my english, but I was facinated to finnaly find that sound I have hear when I was a kid.
Dear Mr. Svein, My name is Yuan, the producer of HOLES audio documentary（Podcast） and a sound hunter. I'm currently working on a new program, “The Message”. It took me a long time to study the Northern lights recordings from the mythological age to the Heroic Age of Polar Exploration. I will also set out in the scientific spirit to investigate the sounds of the Northern lights. The first step of the investigation was interviewing hundreds of auroral hunters in hopes of finding clues to the sounds.😊 If you have such auditory memories, I hope you can share them with me. Thank you.
My dad and his friends swear that they could hear these whooshing sounds, without equipment during a week of -65 in the dead of night. He said the northern lights were so bright the whole week they reflected off the snow and made it look like dawn. They swear by it, and I believe them.
I lived in Alaska, for 10 years. You could hear the northern lights, just not amplified like on here. With a necked ear, you would hear more of chimes sounding, its seemed to happen more when the lights moved. I know our dog heard them. He would just start barking.

This is absolutely amazing - I made my husband and kids come and watch it through with me! Thank you so much for putting this on RUclips where so many people can see it and learn about this beautiful phenomenon!
kinda gives me goosebumps to know that there are things like frequencies or magnetic fields or light a human alone cant sense. makes you wonder what other phenomenom nature has that we dont know about. you can only perceive what your consciousness allows you to.
I heard them with my own ears when I was a kid growing up in the late 1950s or early 1960s...I was afraid to tell anyone thinking they would think I was crazy but we had strong auroras in northern Illinois that even knocked out TV reception.
i grew up in northern montana and have heard the aurora borealis before. It sounds like someone crunching up foil or cellophane, that is without the radiowave interpretation. great video and commentary,
This is not an ambient sound you can hear with bare ears which is what your anecdote sounds like. You need a medium wave radio reciever to pick this stuff up,
@@realtruenorth Middle of January, mid 1990s, on a farm in central Alberta, Canada. The closest town would've been Mayerthorpe, and the weather was -30 centigrade, with clear skies, between 21h00-22h00 (9 or 10pm). I remember this night like it was yesterday: The aurora borealis was full-blown, violet, blue, green, yellows, pinks, reds... pretty well full spectrum, from across the treelines throughout the East-West horizon. We noticed the sound, because the farm house had no TV or any entertainment system, the radio was off at the time (just a wood fired stove, two oil lamps, and of course, electric lights). The sound was incredible, and haunting, almost like the song of nereids, or drowned valkyries. A ghostly, feminine, high-pitched chorus of echoes. I was 9 years old (we were six people altogether: two mothers with two children apiece). The younger kids were a little scared, and the mums had to set their minds at ease, and everyone bundled up and enjoyed around an hour of surreal skywatching. I've seen the northern lights dozens of times since then (and heard them audibly a handful of times also), but nothing quite like that night!
Ive listened these in nature with my own ears so no, u dont need anytin else then ur ears. But cannot find a decent audio from anywhere coz these scientists love their own voice SO much O.O
Thank you for uploading this video. People have always laughed at me when I saw I want to listen to the nothern lights before I die. Everyone wants to see them.. me I would love to be close enough to listen. great video.
@hearvox Many thanks dear sir, although it seems I've missed my chance of getting one as Steve has just recently decide after 19 years to stop making the Receiver, if I can get the PCB and Parts I'll be happy to make one up myself....thanks again! Cheers Clint - Melbourne
the gear is a specially built radio receiver & amp, with an antenna input that receives the natural radio waves and a headphone/speaker out. Steve McGreevy (guy in story) builds his own: see link in the About This Video info on the right.
Beautiful and very informative, as a hamradio operator I sometimes use the aurora to communicate on vhf (144MHz) at long distances. Thanks for sharing this video.
you can pick up these sounds by taking atleast 50 feet of wire (the longer the better) and attaching it to the microphone port on your computer. then you use a program called spectrum laboratory to listen to it.
the planetarium video used the work of Calvin Hall (see this video's description for url). and there's a lot of aurora footage here at utube; eg, users: 06solareclipse and bnvn1
It sounds like a rainy day in a rainforest full of birds and other amphibians and other animals... Perhaps animals have been translating or hearing these sounds and we didn't know? Awesome video, thank you :) happy new year.
I live in alaska and I have heard northern lights, i have never heard the whistling, but the crackling is audible. I have only heard them when they are straight overhead tho, not in the distance like this.
In the late 80s we saw the best ever aurora near Collingwood On. I a'd swear that we could hear an audible whoosh each time the lights arched across the sky.
I heard the northern lights in Cut Bank Montana. It was after midnight and I heard a crackling noise. When I went outside I saw the northern lights. I think the noise was coming from the lights.
Why not? When more volatile electricty runs through as a thunderstorm...we hear lightening AND thunder! I've never seen Australia's lights.....but Northern Saskatchewan....with very little light pollution....puts on a MAGNIFICANT show....I almost ran off the highway.
Amazing. Naturally emitted radio sounds are very fascinating. If you search on NASA's website, you can find a really, really eerie transmission from Saturn, picked up by the Cassini space probe.
Great video! I'm learning how to use my basic ELF/VLF receiver and am looking forward to getting your WR3 PCB board and building another one. It will probably be better then my current one. I live way out in the mountains and have very little 60Hz "smog". A short drive can get me many miles from any power lines.
not a bit of outdoor sounds. plugged Steve McGreevy's natural-radio receiver output directly line-in to my digital recorder. no mics used, no sound but from space (and whatever amp noise is in steve's circuits.)
i remember hearing noises like this on SW when i was kid-also i turned all the pots on i small transistor radio i was given and hearing strange sounds-my mum was pissed i had pulled it apart and wrecked it-but i was happy my radio did something nobody elses did =]
...did you watch the video? The lights aren't directly making sound. They are radio waves captured by his receiver. The radio waves are created by the same stuff making the lights, but the lights themselves are silent. Just energy waves getting converted from one form to another.
I could definitely get into this as a hobby. Had no idea the northern lights made noises. I already have HAM Radio as one of my later-in-life hobbies to get into. #hamradio #auroraborealis
Wow, what an amazing place this planet is. How ironic that when something so deadly combines with something that protects us as as a species, it makes something so beautiful as the Northern Lights. How cool is that?
Wonderful, thankyou. One thing incorrect - you said that these sounds were first discovered in the UK not so long ago in terms of linear historical perspective, actually indigenous peoples throughout the earth have been listening to "the music of the cosmos" for ages. Pythagorus also knew about this and based philosophies upon it, he gained this understanding from teachers before him.
@Cchrisbud813 I swear i thought i could hear them one night when i was young. Sounded like when you run your hand through a sink full of bubbles when you put too much dish soap that would be the best i could describe it. Like waves on the ocean but different. It was very faint. Then again maybe it was just the wind but it happened everytime an aurora appeared and moved.

I loved spotting Orion's belt. I think he did a great job of speaking when the noises were repetitious. The lightening info was mind boggling!
I heard them with my own ears when I was a kid growing up in the late 1950s or early 1960s...I was afraid to tell anyone thinking they would think I was crazy but we had strong auroras in northern Illinois that even knocked out TV reception.
Many astronauts in space recite hearing the same noise while approaching the moon
Amazing and beautiful! I really want to see this someday.
i grew up in northern montana and have heard the aurora borealis before. It sounds like someone crunching up foil or cellophane, that is without the radiowave interpretation. great video and commentary,
NOW I know WHY birds SING and Where those songs originate....Fantastic.
That was really interesting.I have heard these noises on my radios for many years and assumed they were noises from space.
Thanks for confirming it
I have heard the aurora a few times. It sounded just like ice cracking on a frozen lake.
this is incredible. i love it!!!
This is just fascinating! It's the first time I've learned that it is possible to hear the Aurora!!! Amazing work you did on this video. Thank you!
I have heard them before and it sounded like glass particles hitting one another. It was a beautiful sound.
I've seen the Aurora once..and I heard a sound sorta like chimes.. or bells... and kind of a tinkling
This is not an ambient sound you can hear with bare ears which is what your anecdote sounds like. You need a medium wave radio reciever to pick this stuff up,
What CAN you hear? That's what I was looking for.
@@Alien_at_Large I don't think they make audible noise only electromagnetic noise

These are picked up by radio, you can't hear VLF genius
Quit your bullshit. These aren't sound waves. These are electromagnetic waves which are picked up by a radio and converted to sound.
Javed you can actually hear the crackles.
I agree! Incredibly nice!
This is so awesome!!!! Thank you for recording this!
it must be amazing to see this
Amd hear ot rhe whole experience mist be sweet!
I can't wait to see the Northern Lights one day. I can't even explain how happy and in awe I would be.
thats amazing. thanks for the opertunity to hear!
Is there a version without his talking anywhere online?
I have several examples recorded by spacecraft.
Yes, a version without him talking everywhere. Talking every-freaking-where.
I guess, americans would not play tvtn ambient without holyshits...

man the earth really is amazing
I'm so glad W.W.V was mentioned here, brought back many memories of listening to my fathers Hammerlund short wave radio.
Your commentary is really great, I was amazed at the idea of using a fence as an antenna. Do you have more recordings like this?

Thank you for the talking and explanations . Pleasure to hear Stephen McGreevy speak .
This sounds authentic.
Thank you for oploading this. I like that he's explaining so much about this phenomenon.

As a radio ham. I used to follow the whistlers as they roved through the radio bands.

It's from NPR made for radio science program, thats why the are talking.
An abbreviated version at that. I remember the original - he talks about running a pirate station and receives a visit from the FCC....
I've seen a brilliant aurora over Western New York, too. I think that's even farther south. It didn't last very long, but I'll never forget it.
Great video. Can you shed any light on the trumpet noises heard around the globe?
Most of them are fake tho.
dude, its a hoax.
started with the 2012 end of the world hoax.
Any proof of globe earth?

Just the magnetic core. How is it moving and responding.
