Lake noises

[Richard Cranium]

I’ve heard noises like this at our lake, but not to this extent.

Sounds like the game "Space Invaders".

Our local lake does the same thing. The two acre pond on the home farm would do it to. We've been ice skating on it and cracking and that sound would make you think whether you should be on it.

 

[RemCharger]

Yep can be nerve wracking

That's wild. Made me think of this.

I have heard a very similar noise - but it is usually from a highly tensioned fence wire...... but I can't see that being an issue in the boonies.

That's wild. Made me think of this.

Awesome album. I got through my first 3 month submarine patrol, cranking that album in the nucleonics laboratory.

 

[Hey-O]

Went through that for years. Ice is like a guitar string, it plays at times, till it breaks.

every spring here, were about 2 weeks out from hearing that yet! still some ice fishing happening in a few spots that are protected from runoff and shore melt! all huts had to be off 15th.

 

[Mopar Hunter]

Sounds like Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker dueling lightsabers.

Nessie swam over from Scotland.

Ice snapping & expanding or contracting

1st time I heard it I had no idea what it was
asked a bunch of people, what it was, tried to mimic it & they looked at me
like a had a twat in the middle of my forehead or something
I thought it sort of sounded sort of like bull frogs,
but way too loud & too long of a tone
& it's way too cold for frogs too, they just laughed

I heard that stuff during '1st days of breakup', like Apr. in the Eagle River
by the hi-way river crossing, looking at the huge ice sheets buckling & moving in Alaska
outside of Anchorage, while going home to Palmer, back in the mid 80s
