Sounds I don't recognise on electrosmog - does anyone know what they might be?

Hi

I have heard electrosmog sounds, and I don't know what they are. I was wondering if anybody else might know?

THE 'SQUEAK'.......

It is a short sound, similar to radar, but - it has a slightly higher pitch, and it is not regular.

It might go -

squeak-squeeeeak-squeak (pause for a few seconds, sometimes two seconds, sometimes four or five)
then a different pattern of squeaks
squeeeeeeeeak-squeeeak-squeak
for example.

The number and lengths of the 'squeaks' varies, but they are usually for a few seconds only, with a few seconds pause betweeen one group and the next.

It seems to be fairly constant throughout the day, so I think probably not an amatuer radio enthusiast? About three miles away is a hill with two big masts on, one I think is used by the Civil Aviation Authority, though I think the sound tends to come from the other direction, so it might not be related.


THE 'WHOOSHING'.....

It goes 'whooooooosh'(maybe two seconds) - then a pause of about one second - then 'whooooooosh' (the same length as the first whoosh) - pause again - in a regular pattern.

Its within about half a mile of the sea, on flat land. Also about three miles away from a big shared mast.

Please does anybody know what the sounds could be?

And is the Civil Aviation Authority mast likely to be a problem? I'm concerned it might be operating at a frequency outside the range of 27MHz - 3.3 GHz, so it might not even register at all, even if its powerful.

Any help much appreciated!

Please try recording them and either email a sound file to us or send us an ordinary audio cassette tape (not a miniature dictaphone tape) with the sounds on. The MW1 ES Detector has an audio output (standard 3.5mm stereo jack) or you can use a microphone on your cassette recorder (etc).

Educated guessing: The squeak could be some for of WiFi or a specialist radar. The whooshing could be radar (including military). You could also email your postcode to info@powerwatch.org.uk and I will have a look and think.

Hi Alisdair

Thank you very much for your reply - I'll see if I can get a recording.

Kind regards.
