If you've got a big sub-woofer, crank this up. Apparently this audio clip is from underwater sonar.

Creepy!

Sound clip analyzed.



some random pictures of the event:





the ocean drains before the surge:

 

My poor laptop can't handle that sound file.. I don't hear anything at all... It's funny to imagine that one pic you posted though.. those people are running from it and there's a photographer 300ft offshore just calmly taking a picture. haha That one woman on the right looks l i k e she's got a score to settle with that wave.

 

So I wonder if the sound waves are from the plate shift or from the column of water being pushed up as a result. Scary. Makes you realize if this planet ever got tired of h a v i n g human-noma, it wouldn't take much to cure it completely...

 

More Info...

The T waves for the Sumatra earthquake were captured by underwater microphones located at Diego Garcia, more than 1,700 miles from the epicenter. These microphones are part of arrays known as hydroacoustic stations that are scattered throughout the world's oceans to listen for the telltale sound of an atomic blast.

 

So the sound is actually the movement of the ocean floor...the voice of the planet itself...omg

Quoted from the NOAA website:

A "T-phase" or "T-wave" is an acoustic phase from an earthquake that travels through the ocean. The "T" stands for "tertiary", as in: P-waves are "primary", S-waves are "secondary", and T-waves are "tertiary", because they travel the slowest and so arrive 3rd. Basically, when an earthquake occurs in the earth's crust under the ocean, the usual crustal phases are generated (P and S waves), but in addition part of the energy goes into the ocean as acoustic energy, and that is the T-wave. It's basically the seafloor rumbling.
