Mysterious 'pinging' sound from Arctic seafloor mystifies Canada's military

Strange noises are continuing to baffle the Canadian Military in a form of "pinging" sound that is said to have been from a remote area of the Arctic Sea. The sound is believed to have come from the sea floor.

The Canadian Military have assigned a number of multi-sensor searches in the Arctic areas the past Friday, but wasn't able to get to the bottom of the so called "acoustic anomalies." According to BBC News, the crew who led the investigation saw nothing more but two pods of bowhead whales and six walruses as stated by their representative Ashley Lemire.

Some of locals have also reported to hear the same alleged sound, some have described the noise to be a "humming" or a "beeping" sound. The sound have apparently been around the whole summer in Fury and Hecla Strait, the noise had been present around 74 miles north-west of the hamlet of Igloolik.

The Canadian press concluded a number of theories to explain these strange noise. One of these was said to be a sonar survey conducted by a mining company. Others speculated that the "pinging" sound may have been caused by military submarines. But Hunters in the Arctic region believed that sound was intended to drive away wildlife, this was discussed by the Nunavut legislature last month.

George Qulaut a member of the legislative assembly, stated that mysterious pinging noise may potentially have concerning effects on Arctic wildlife according to Live Science. Qulaut revealed that the water passage where the mysterious noise is present happen to be a migratory route for bowhead whales, and also bearded seals and ringed seals, a great number of each species are known to be found in that particular area. But during the summer where the sound started, no animals were around.
