Night Drones
 
So, a strange and rather creepy thing happened to me last night. I woke up at around 3am to a very strange long drone that filled the whole bedroom. it consisted of 2 sounds mixed with each other, and it sounded almost like some weird ambient tune. I listened to it for about 15 minutes and then my girlfriend woke up and was all like: "Do you hear that sound? Creepy, isn't it?". I tried visiting other rooms too and opening the window and checking if it hasn't come from outside, but the sound was only present in the bedroom. Sometimes it even "moved" or how to call it ... it sounded as if the sound was slowly drifting from one corner of the room to another.
It lasted for around 40 minutes and then it just vanished.

what is strange is that I've encountered the same thing when I was in Baltimore in summer of 2002.
any one of you has ever had an experience like this ?

al shabbray 09.28.2008 05:05 AM

what?
are you kidding?
whats the name of that drug?

_slavo_ 09.28.2008 05:06 AM

no kidding. i was stone sober.

al shabbray 09.28.2008 05:08 AM

thats hilarious, how loud was it?
I think when your girlfriend woke up from it it must be on an averyge volume. which is sick. man sounds really interesting

greenlight 09.28.2008 05:42 AM

soundz interesting!

nicfit 09.28.2008 06:08 AM

I assume you DID NOT RECORD THE FUCKIN' SOUND, right?

you fool!

_slavo_ 09.28.2008 06:23 AM

it may sound a bit off now, but believe me, I really was shit scared and so was the girlfriend.

nicfit 09.28.2008 06:26 AM

Honestly I can understand.
Noises at night are quite scary, especially when you can't identify the source..Could you feel the bed/floor "vibrate" a bit? Like when a big bus passes by or something?

SYRFox 09.28.2008 06:27 AM

Noises by night are the best. It's always a bit unreal

_slavo_ 09.28.2008 06:27 AM

no, i did not feel ani vibrations or something. everything was calm, except for the sound.
when the same thing happened one night in the house in Baltimore I lived in, the only difference was that the sound was giving me painful headaches. this one was rather soothing.

ZEROpumpkins 09.28.2008 06:38 AM

Can you describe it any better? Could have been the pipes in the wall or something.

The closest I've come to that is waking up to an explosion.

al shabbray 09.28.2008 06:40 AM

hahaha like that I would imagine my neighbour while I was building up some subbass at night while listening on headphones but forgot to put off the subwoofer. I not thinked about the "pump" coming from my headphones, hahahaha

greedrex 09.28.2008 08:08 AM

It's the new SYR
not released on tape, vinyl or Cd.
It's just distilled in the atmosphere
catch it if you can.

al shabbray 09.28.2008 08:23 AM

^^^^hahahaha yes nice!


btw "night drones" would be an ace title for some tunes

ni'k 09.28.2008 08:28 AM

I can explain this.

Have you ever seen the film Monster's Inc.? Well it's like that only instead of CGI monster's its drone musicians. They come out of yr vinyl at night to scare you into buying more Sunno))) lp's so you can listen to the lp's during the daytime and not be afraid when it happens at night.

It's just the CaptialistDroneIndustrialComplex fucking you over as usual with their psyops.

infra-sonic-waves

do you got elephants near your house?
they communicate with infrasonic

pokkeherrie 09.29.2008 06:15 AM

I think they might be after you, _slavo_

_slavo_ 09.29.2008 07:50 AM

they surely are. I even think I heard my girlfriend say something like "beep beep" when she fell asleep afterwards.

al shabbray 09.29.2008 10:01 AM

floatingslowly is your girlfriend?

blunderbuss 09.29.2008 10:09 AM

Maybe someone in the room above was vacuuming?

_slavo_ 09.29.2008 10:14 AM

I'm on the top floor.
Nobody seems to be vacuuming at 3am in our geographic region.

that might be the clue. if so, they have damn good drone scene there.

blunderbuss 09.29.2008 10:18 AM

Of course they bloody do! It's a parallel dimension, isn't it? Everything is cool in a parallel dimension!

we call those "tornado sirens". they go off every saturday at noon.

barring inclimate weather, you might consider aliens. check yr butthole for scars imo.

al shabbray 09.29.2008 04:00 PM

^^^you know frightening much....


@slavo check your butt for robotoil too

Glice 09.29.2008 04:02 PM

As it happens, I've experienced this loads of times in my life (most recently just last week) and it confuses the fuck out of me.

Obviously, when you're half-awake it's the sound of the apocalypse. A more reasonable explanation would be that in the middle of the night you can hear all those sounds that get drowned out normally, and your ears are a bit more relaxed.

If it's the same, or a similar sound, it's like an all-engulfing, very low pitched drone which disappeared after about 10 minutes. It was very, very thick.

al shabbray 09.29.2008 04:03 PM

I wnt that too

Glice 09.29.2008 04:06 PM

I used to get it more in London, so I've a feeling it might be a city thing.

al shabbray 09.29.2008 04:10 PM

I like the noise of highways a few hundred meters away at night, its like the sea noise of the city

blunderbuss 09.30.2008 03:12 AM

I used to live about two hundred metres from a motorway. There's nothing comforting about road noise.

Going with what Glice said, there's a surprising amount of noise made by electrical equipment which is only audible at night when all the other distracting noise is absent.
