Skyquakes & Sky Trumpets: The Terrifying Sounds Signaling the End?
Opinion | High Strangeness & Apocalyptic Phenomena
Executive Summary
The Earth is screaming. From the explosive booms known as "Seneca Guns" to the viral phenomenon of "Sky Trumpets" that sound like grinding metal in the clouds, the world is becoming a noisier, more terrifying place. While NASA points to "atmospheric ducting" and geological shifts, others see a darker pattern. We investigate the rise of these unexplained auditory phenomena, the NOAA-recorded "Upsweep," and why many believe these are the biblical Seven Trumpets of Revelation heralding the end times.

It starts as a low vibration in your chest. Then, a sound like scraping metal, or a jet engine that never passes. It comes from everywhere and nowhere at once.
Since 2011, millions of people from Kiev to British Columbia have recorded these sounds. They don't appear on seismographs. They aren't sonic booms. They are something else. As reports of "Skyquakes" and "Trumpets" skyrocket in the 2020s, the debate has shifted from "Is it real?" to "Who—or what—is making the noise?"
Skyquakes: When the Air Explodes
Not all mystery sounds are sustained notes. Some are violent, concussive blasts known as Skyquakes.
In the Carolinas, they are called "Seneca Guns." In Belgium, "Mistpoeffers." They are thunderous booms that rattle windows on clear, sunny days. The USGS has ruled out earthquakes. The Air Force frequently denies flight operations. The leading theory? Methane gas releases from the continental shelf exploding as they hit the atmosphere. But for a gas bubble to create a sound heard across three states, the release would need to be catastrophic—a warning sign that the seafloor is becoming unstable.
The Sky Trumpets: Gabriel's Warning?
The most viral—and disturbing—phenomenon is the "Sky Trumpet." Unlike the boom of a Skyquake, this sound is melodic, mechanical, and mournful. It sounds like a brass section played by giants.
Videos from around the globe capture a noise that resembles the tripod sounds from War of the Worlds. Skeptics claim many videos are hoaxes (audio lifted from movies like Red State), but the sheer volume of independent reports suggests a genuine core phenomenon. For the religiously inclined, the connection is obvious:
"And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound." — Revelation 8:6
Is the atmosphere physically resonating, or are we hearing the overture to the apocalypse?
The Upsweep: The Sound from the Abyss
The sky isn't the only thing screaming. In 1991, NOAA's underwater hydrophones picked up a sound they couldn't identify. They named it "The Upsweep."
Unlike the "Bloop" (which was likely an icequake), the Upsweep is seasonal. It peaks in the spring and autumn. It is a long-train of narrow-band upsweeping sounds of several seconds duration each. It is loud enough to be recorded across the entire Pacific Ocean. While NOAA officially lists it as "unresolved," possibly related to volcanic activity, its biological-like rhythm makes many wonder if something massive is waking up in the deep.
Science vs. The End Times
Mainstream science offers a few explanations for the sky noises, though none explain everything:
- Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs): Solar storms hitting the Earth's magnetic field can create acoustic gravity waves—essentially the aurora borealis, but auditory.
- Core Shifting: As the Earth's magnetic north pole races toward Siberia, the friction of the mantle might be generating low-frequency hums that we perceive as grinding noises.
- Atmospheric Ducting: Layers of air temperature can carry sounds (like construction or trains) for hundreds of miles, distorting them into monstrous noises.
Project Blue Beam: Audio Hallucinations?
In conspiracy circles, the sounds are not natural; they are a weapon. The theory of Project Blue Beam suggests that the New World Order uses "Voice to Skull" technology and massive audio projection to stage a fake alien invasion or a fake Second Coming.
Under this theory, the "Sky Trumpets" are test runs. They are calibrating the speakers, so to speak, preparing for a global psychological operation designed to force humanity into a one-world religion through fear.
What Then? The Earth Groans
At What Then Studio, we listen to the frequency. Whether it is shifting tectonic plates, solar wind slamming into our shields, or the gears of a divine clock turning over, the message is the same: Change is coming.
The Earth is not a static rock; it is a living, groaning entity. These sounds are symptoms of a system under stress. We can call them "anomalies" or we can call them "trumpets," but we cannot ignore that the background noise of our reality is getting louder. And usually, when the siren goes off, it means you should take cover.
FAQ: Mystery Sounds
A: Many viral videos were proven to be hoaxes using audio stems from movies. However, thousands of reports exist from credible witnesses without video evidence, suggesting the phenomenon itself is real even if the internet content is polluted.
A: The leading theories are supersonic aircraft, meteors exploding in the atmosphere, or massive releases of methane gas from the ocean floor.
A: Not definitively. NOAA believes it is likely related to submarine volcanic activity, but the source has not been pinpointed and the sound changes seasonally.
