About this episode
The episode explores the strange phenomena of the Bristol Hum and the WOW Signal, delving into mysterious sounds and their origins.
Across the world, people describe hearing a low, relentless sound with no visible source, while in 1977 a radio telescope captured a mysterious signal from deep space that has never been repeated. From noises beneath our feet to a message from the stars, these are two of the strangest sounds ever recorded.
