Realistically (that's why not asking in /x/), what could be the origin of those sounds?

Pic hopefully not related.

A huge fucking deepsea jellyfish.

realistically I'd say it was either a Giant jellyfish or maybe something like a giant sea slug. Something we've never seen because it stays on the ocean floor.

I think the Bloop is more likely to be geological or hydrothermal rather than biological.

wouldn't a jelly fish stay above the ocean floor?

i seem to remember reading somewhere that the origin of the 'bloop' was remarkably close to the location Lovecraft gave for Rlyeh...

Would have to be a seriously fucking huge jelly--they estimate larger than a blue whale, unless for some reason it has crazy soundblasting abilities. Could be possible due to abyssal gigantism, but still. Why would you suggest a jellyfish above other organisms, though?

Since when have jellyfish made sounds?

It could be a surprisingly low and loud call from a known species that just hasn't been observed making this particular noise.

Which proves that you know nothing about the bloop

Oh? Pray tell, oh master of deep under water sounds, what would lead you to suggest that these sounds are biological?

I'd like to hear Slow Down at its actual speed. That's the thing about all of these, they're posted at like.. 16 times faster than normal. Bloop isn't scary when you listen to it sped up, but when it's unmodified, god damn.

I like to believe that it's some gigantic creature, just waiting to be discovered.

Is there anywhere to listen to Bloop at its normal speed? I want to get freaked out too.

They find all kinds of crazy shit below the thermoline, inside the abyss. No telling what it is. Scientist have said that it's alive, though.

...I have a hard time believing that's not a calliope being played underwater. Jesus. Calliope music is friggin creepy to begin with; now I'll never hear another one without thinking that some freaky tentacled beast is going to rise up out of the ocean and devour everyone.

I have to admit that was cool as hell. But some of it sounds like an instrument.
>> Anonymous
Anyone else find it freaky that the sound originates from the same place R'lyeh is in Lovecraft's books?
