Mysterious sounds cause something primitive in our brains. They take us back to our hunter-gathering days, when deciphering a weird ‘bloop’ in the jungle may have helped us to survive (because it can be a new type of predator). Although that is hardly the case anymore, that part of the brain still works in the same way.
Mysterious sounds still arouse our interest in a way that other senses do not do. There is something simply creepy about a sound that you cannot fully determine, made even more creepy because of how many sounds are nowadays; From classified radio signals to industrial machines that most of us have not even heard. However, most of them can be explained by ‘everyday things that make everyday sounds that you had just not noticed before’.
However, it gets strange when a sound is heard several times by several people, and none of them can determine where it comes from. Some of the most bizarre sounds we have ever heard remain inexplicable, despite the fact that entire parts of the internet are dedicated to their origin.
