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).

      Boy the flyers look good early. Lots of bad plays and slow start by our team. Hope that changes before the score changes.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes into account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as another treading water year (at QB). I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked. That’s how I look at it.
