The mysterious sound of the seabed worries the Canadians

The "beep" noise is heard in the Strait of Fury and Hecla, near the North Pole and home to many marine creatures, Guardian reported.

The Canadian Armed Forces have dispatched a crew to investigate a mysterious sound that appears to appear on the sea floor.

Hunters in a remote Arctic community of Canada are very concerned about this "beep" noise . They heard a strange sound in the Strait of Fury and Hecla.

Paul Quassa, a local politician, told CBC that the sound seemed to come from the sea floor and was chasing away many animals from the hunting area. It is an open water area, surrounded by icebergs and home to many marine mammals.

"In the summer, there are almost no animals. This is suspicious," he said.

Some reports have been sent to the military. Later, a patrol plane CP-140 Aurora was deployed to the area on November 1. The military uses a surveillance program designed to "detect, prevent, prevent and eliminate threats to Canada or Canada's interests".

In a statement, Canadian Defense Ministry spokesman Ashley Lemire said: "The Canadian armed forces have learned about unusual sounds in the Strait of Fury and Hecla. The crew has made many searches. Search for different sensors in the area, including a 1.5-hour sound search that has not found anything unusual. "

"In addition, the crew found 2 flocks of whales and 6 walruses in the area. At this time the Ministry of Defense did not intend to investigate further."

There is a theory that noise is created to drive away whales.

However, this does not prevent people from continuing to hypothesize about the origin of sound. Many people believe that this is the work of a local mining company. They often use sonar waves to make detailed maps of the seabed during the search for oil and gas. However, the Baffinland Mining Group, which has been operating nearby, told CBC that they had no equipment under water during this time.

Others think the sound comes from Greenpeace activists (Greenpeace). Greenpeace is most famous for its campaigns against whaling. They are suspected of creating these sounds to ward off wild animals from the hunting area, away from hunters. This is the accusation that Greenpeace has denied.
