What a 9.0 Magnitude earthquake sounds like

Welp, playing around with this using Audacity, I slowed it down from x16 speed to x4 speed. It's audible still, but not by much. Then I slowed it all the way down. There is maybe some increase in a really low rumble... but it's really hard to tell apart from background noise.

But keep in mind, that this sound crossed the pacific and then echoed around! And good lord... it goes on and on... never thought it took so long for two tectonic plates to slide around violently.

As a former submarine sonarman....

It would have been a continuous, very low rumble - elevated background noise. Since it would have been random, it definitely would not have been classified as anything. There isn't any narrowband to analyze, and of course the spread of the bearing of the sound would have immediately been known to have been fairly wide.

Back in the day we heard stuff like this (but not has long) often and classified it as geologics (as opposed to fish noises which were biologics).

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
