The "Bloop" is the loudest sound recorded in the deep ocean, a mysterious and powerful noise detected in 1997.
Early theories suggested the sound could be linked to underwater volcanic activity or icebergs breaking off from glaciers.
Researchers analyzed the Bloop with hydrophones and concluded it was a natural, yet unidentified, phenomenon.
Some speculated that the sound came from an animal, like a giant squid, but its frequency didn't match any known marine species.
Later studies suggested the sound could have been caused by ice shifting in Antarctica, such as icequakes or icebergs breaking apart.
Despite narrowed-down theories, the exact origin of the Bloop remains a mystery, highlighting the deep ocean's vast, unexplored nature.
