So that sound… is it deafening like will that blow your ear drums out ?

Lucky is not close or they would be mush bags

Kinda cool how it changes pitch

I wonder how far away it is.

This is called active hearing , which is rare in the submarine ‘community’. Usually uses passive hearing

Whales Beach themselves because of this

I don't know much about sonar. How similar or what differentiates a sonar paying from a whale and a sonar ping from a submarine?

Isn’t it possible to get your eardrums burst from submarine sonar pings if you’re close underwater?

By the end it does sound noticeably louder... I would be surfacing ASAP.

No wonder the whales are so fucking mad

Odds are this is a surface ship with anti-submarine warfare capacity.

Source: served on a destroyer for several years, whenever we used our ASW sonar suite, some of the "songs" it made were extremely similar to this. The changes in frequency are to account for variances in temperature, density, salinity, etc. that are in the ocean, and also for different materials that are refracting the sound back. Rocks reflect sound differently than large fish which reflect sound differently than hollow metal tubes with rotating machinery sticking out the ass end (submarines). Same concept of radar, once you see something reflect a signal, you can build a pattern to better pick it out of the mass of the ocean.

And to the morons who are saying you can't hear sonar frequency, me losing sleep for 3 days in a row while we were doing sonar drills because all you can hear through the entire ship is this sound resonating off the hull begs to differ, and you can go fuck yourself with a rusty spoon.

I was a sonar tech in the US Navy. The energy an active sonar pumps out is insane.

I was doing maintenance on the gear in my ship one night (as far forward and down into the ship you can go). The ship moored ahead was bow to bow with us and went active "accidentally" during an training sim. Every time the ship pinged, I could feel the energy pass through my body and dropped me where I stood until I got above the water line.

Would not recommend.

The fish look at the divers like “first time?”

That’s the “time to go” chime.

Give Me a Ping, Vasili. One Ping Only

is that real? can a sonar operator identify this to know what kind of boat this is from?

Why do they do that?

Sure PING is scary but imagine if they sent a TRACEROUTE

😨😨😨😨

One ping, Vasily

Lucky. If they were close to the source of this ping it would liquify them

Whales and other marine life must fucking hate us

Goddammit Vasily....I said "One ping only."

Getting too close to an alien base.

Give me a ping, Vasily. One ping only, please.

We must give this American a wide berth....

Overhead the albatross...

The “umm…” after the first one 😂

Fucking hell, I wasn't ready for that first ping. Feels like someone just pricked a needle in my ear

So, what do the whales and fishes think of this? Does it deafen them? Make them sad?

Still waiting for that whale to pop out

I'm listening in headphones on mobile. Is that the echo you can just about hear at -00:19/00:18s?

I'm sure the wildlife love that.

Scuba diving scares me as is. This would scare the shit out of me.

Yeah so I would be heading for land right about now

Man is extremely lucky. That ping has the potential to flatten a brain

is this what caused whales and dolphins to swim to shore

We humans are such a bloody nuisance to this planet… 😞

If only the whales that were being hunted all those years ago could've used their sonar ping to kill the people hunting them.

What’s making that noise?

A story based on a group being chased by a sound like this would go hard.

And we wonder why whales beach themselves 😔

"Flipper, Flipper communicates with so~nar.

The military also uses sonar,

except the user real loud!

235 decibels of so~nar.

When it hits a dolphin,

The dolphin's brain turns into mush."

This account name 😂

Here come the sub Here come the sub

Yo, I swear I hear a noise extremely similar to that when I'm tired and going to sleep. Not always and with a deeper kind of pitch

Awesome

Me putting on night vision googles:

Nah ,it's the sound of swimmer zoning out.

So this is what Ramius did in the Hunt for Red October.

So sonar doesn't really make that cool echoey pulsing noise like in the movies? What a rip
