Ocean’s deepest spot a noisy place, Oregon scientists find it is noisier than a table full of black women having drinks and dinner at a Red Lobster.... Now that is NOISY!

The deepest spot on Earth is a surprisingly noisy place, scientists from Oregon discovered when they lowered a hydrophone almost seven miles below the ocean surface into the Challenger Deep. Listen to what they found.

The deepest spot on Earth is a surprisingly noisy place, scientists from Oregon discovered when they lowered a hydrophone almost seven miles below the ocean surface into the Challenger Deep.

Left in place for several months, the device recorded the booming cries of whales, the rumble of ships passing overhead and crescendos from earthquakes deep in the planet’s crust.

“This should be one of the quietest places in the world, but it was a lot noisier than we expected,” said Oregon-based oceanographer Robert Dziak, who led the project for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). “There really is almost constant sound from natural and man-made sources.”
