But on Tuesday and Wednesday, a Canadian airplane detected \u201cbanging\u201d noises in 30-minute intervals in the area near the Titanic wreckage, causing people to speculate that those aboard the Titan were alive and signaling for help.<\/p>\n<p>So what were the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/authorities-dont-know-whats-causing-underwater-banging-as-experts-rush-to-determine-if-sounds-came-from-titanic-sub\/\" title=\"Authorities are unsure about the cause of underwater banging as experts investigate if the sounds originated from the Titanic submarine.\">underwater noises picked<\/a> up by search teams days after officials said they heard the Titan\u2019s implosion? Experts have some theories.<\/p>\n<h2>Search Equipment<\/h2>\n<p>The area surrounding the Titanic wreck was being searched by multiple ships, sonobuoys, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/missing-titanic-sub-coast-guard-says-its-unsure-whether-noises-were-made-by-trapped-tourists\/\" title=\"Coast Guard uncertain if trapped tourists caused missing Titanic sub noises.\">remote operated vehicles<\/a> (ROVs) when the underwater noises were picked up. Experts began analyzing the recordings immediately after sounds were detected by sonobuoys that had been deployed by search aircraft. From the beginning, authorities said they were unsure of what was causing the banging, but according to some experts, it wouldn\u2019t take them long to determine if the sounds came from humans, machines, or animals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it would be pretty straightforward to determine whether something is an Earth signal or a biological signal or a machine signal,\u201d said Dr. Simone Baumann-Pickering, an acoustic ecologist at the University of California San Diego, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/06\/21\/us\/underwater-noise-search-submersible.html\">according<\/a> to The New York Times.<\/p>\n<p>Matthew Schanck, the founder of maritime search and rescue organization Marsar International, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sciencetech\/article-12226303\/What-banging-sound-heard-Titan-rescue-bid.html\">told<\/a> The Daily Mail that the noises could have come from multiple sources, but he said there is a high probability they were caused by search vessels.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur understanding is the noise could have a number of sources,\u201d he said. \u201cThe subsurface of the ocean is a noisy environment. But given the high density of vessels in the area operating their propulsion systems and heavy machinery\/equipment in the area, this may have been picked up by sonobuoys.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Titanic Wreckage<\/h2>\n<p>As the search continued earlier this week, Jeff Karson, professor of earth and environmental sciences at Syracuse University, warned that focusing on the banging sounds as evidence that the five passengers could still be alive was \u201cwishful thinking.\u201d Karson said that the sound likely just came from junk in the ocean and possibly Titanic wreckage, which is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/titanic-decaying-expedition\/\">constantly decaying<\/a> and falling to the ocean floor.<\/p>\n<p>The professor also explained that sounds coming from the ocean, especially from an area near a shipwreck, could be complicated by echoes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne possibility is that the sounds [are] bouncing around the debris. And so it\u2019s a more complicated echo. It\u2019s just not bouncing off of one thing. It\u2019s bouncing off a bunch of things. And it\u2019s like, you know, dropping up a marble into a tin can. It\u2019s rattling around and that would confuse the location,\u201d Karson <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-12220611\/Sonar-expert-says-banging-heard-sub-search-site-debris-falling-decaying-wreck.html\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs it really banging or just some unidentified sound? I think that is a more accurate description right now,\u201d he added. \u201cThere\u2019s no telling where the sound is coming from or how far away it is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Jamie Pringle, reader in Forensic Geosciences at Keele University, was skeptical that the noises picked up by the sonobuoys came from the Titanic, however.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNoise from the Titanic wreck at that water depth would also be unlikely to travel to the surface,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<h2>Marine Life<\/h2>\n<p>Another possibility is that the underwater noises picked up came from the variety of sea creatures living in the Atlantic, such as whales.<\/p>\n<p>Dolphins usually make high-frequency sounds like whistles that are used for echolocation, but whales can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-man-fights-bear-at-florida-home-to-protect-his-dogs\/\" title=\"WATCH: Man Fights Bear at Florida Home to Protect His Dogs\">make noises<\/a> that are lower frequency. While the recordings picked up what sounds like something clanking against metal in 30-minute intervals, pointing to a man-made source, Carl Hartsfield, a laboratory director at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/06\/21\/us\/underwater-noise-search-submersible.html\">said<\/a> it\u2019s a little more complicated than that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom my experience with acoustics, there are sounds by biologics that sound man-made to the untrained ear,\u201d he said. \u201cBut I can assure you that the people listening to these tapes are trained.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Coast Guard is still investigating the circumstances surrounding the Titan implosion as questions are likely to swirl for weeks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was an incredibly complex case and we\u2019re still working to develop details for the timeline involved with this casualty and the response,\u201d Coast Guard Rear Adm. John Mauger <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/probe-seeks-answers-titanic-sub-catastrophic-implosion\/story?id=100316037\">said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Two ROVs, one from France and one from Canada, will continue mapping debris fields at the site of the disaster. The admiral said the Coast Guard, along with the French and Canadian governments, will continue to seek answers on \u201chow, why, and when this happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>OceanGate CEO and founder Stockton Rush was piloting the submersible and was joined by billionaire explorer Hamish Harding, British businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, and Paul-Henri Nargeolet, an esteemed French maritime expert with decades of experience diving to the Titanic wreckage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After the Titan&#8217;s implosion, the U.S. Coast Guard confirmed the death of its five passengers.
