People are discovering the noise of Aurora Borealis – also known as the Northern Lights - and they are understandably terrified.
The sound has fascinated and intrigued people for years, with comparisons drawn between the sounds of a waterfall from a distance or the noise static makes.
Indigenous communities have also reported hearing the sounds. Mamie Williams, a member of the Tlingit tribe in Hoonah, Alaska said: “It’s our ancestors letting us know, ‘We crossed over but we’re still here with you,’” CNN reports.
Reports have described the noises for more than a century, but it wasn’t until recordings made by acoustic engineer Unto Laine from Aalto University in Finland in 2012, were they confirmed to be real.
