Discovered secret message on the audio of a Guardian beacon!

Why is it that thargoid probes, after scanning our ships, send out a description of that chip using Morse code?
Just want to correct an important and common mistake here... Thargoid Probes don't do that. Thargoid Sensors do. Just for completeness:

Thargoid Sensors: Emit a morse-encoded wireframe of your ship, or morse for the nearest[1] celestial body[2] (if no ship is nearby), and "scan" your ship when within 1km.
Thargoid Probe: Emits octal-encoded attributes of the nearest[1] planetary body[3], and emit the EMP shutdown and audio-encoded image
Thargoid Link (When played an unknown signal collected from a Thargoid Structure): Either:
  • Laser-designates the associated Thargoid Structure within the system; or
  • Emits Octal distances (in LY) to (IIRC) Merope, Col 70 Sector FY-N C21-3 and the target system, so that you can triangulate the target system's location.
... and for completeness:
- Unknown Signal collected at Thargoid Structures has this image encoded in it.

So morse and octal are used... most people forget the octal... it's a common mistake to get Probes and Sensor's behaviour confused, but there's a big difference between the two

[1] Where nearest == Is your current frame of reference noted in the bottom left. If this is "Deep Space", nothing would emit (or the ship wireframe, in the case of the Sensor)
[2] This includes stars, planets, stations, anything that can be a frame of reference.
[3] This only includes planetary bodies, and not stars, stations and other non-planetary things etc.

As for the Op...

... no puzzle in ED has ever needed this level or audio analysis... and doing so has led to innumerate claims of "solving the puzzle", which have all been nothing more than pareidolia.

As others have mentioned, the suspected message is highly interpreted and has no context or relevance that can be established without a huge array of assumptions. TBH, it just looks like background noise.
 
Apophenia is a general term for interpreting patterns or meaning in meaningless data—this involves any kind of information, including visual, auditory, or a data set. Pareidolia focuses on visual information.
:cool:
 
lol I really don't care if people think I am right, cause I didn't provided any theory.like I said..I don't need to convince people...people are free to believe in the reality people want to believe in...idc#

whoever thinks I provided a theory on this is making this up from the own fantasy.
I suggest you stop projecting ,stop telling people what people can and what people can't from your opinion and rather care about what you can do.
but you don't have to. that's only a suggest.

Nobody suggested you provided a theory, what you provided was a fantasy. Not all opinions are equal, that's a fallacy, an opinion based on evidence is more useful than an opinion based on fantasy, leading people down an endless rabbit hole isn't going to help anyone solve anything.

I suggested you do some proper testing, but this is not what you are doing, you are just insisting it's true regardless of what anyone else thinks. If there is indeed something there then proper testing will confirm it, but if you are determined to believe you are right and reject actually testing, well this isn't going to go anywhere. I'm not telling people what they can and can't do or have an opinion on, but indeed it's my opinion you are imagining everything you are hearing, other people can draw their own conclusions.
 
like I said... I only recorded a ringing sound. that's all I did.
if I would be interested in creating fantasy content and pushing this kind of content to become some kind of lore, than I could apply for a canon membership. but honestly I don't care.
you are free to believe or disbelief whatever you want.idc
feel free to debate about if their is an voice or not...I just recorded a ringing sound.
go on making things up from you mind.idc

first you said all religions aren't the same, now you are saying all opinions aren't equal.what you gonna tell me next? all green cars aren't yellow?
but yea I know...1% genius...99% peasants.

We have a party game in this country called Chinese Whispers (and there are probably variants all round the world that blame other Outsiders - apologies for any offence). Players form a line and the first in line whispers a message to the second, who them whispers it to the third and so on down the line. The message at the end of the line is rarely related to the initial message. I'm told the consequences are hilarious.

I'm sure it was my grandfather (a WW1 veteran) who told my father who told me the undoubtedly true story of the request that was sent from the Front: "Send reinforcements, we're gong to advance."

The message received at HQ was: "Send three and fourpence, we're going to a dance."

I can't hear anything in these recordings except something that could be meaningful but probably isn't.

Ah but all religions are the same, of course the thing is you first have to define what "the same" is. You seem to be skipping a lot of logical steps in the discussion here.

Players inventing fantasy content and it becoming lore isn't something that happens, we don't control the lore, fdev do, they control it, they can change it if they want. And no, I'm actually not the one making things up from my mind, and yes you recorded a ringing sound, everything after that is probably just imaginary, but of course if you refuse to apply proper tests that's all it will ever be.

what tests do you sugest?
 
I again, after many requests, i manage to clean up the audio a bit more... this is the lastest clean up on the audio.

Notes about this audio: the audio have 2 parts as the previus ones the only diference is that i kept another repetition of the 2ºpart to clean it with a diferent filter.
nothing else was changed from the original audio.

Very interesting, but I disagree with everyone :giggle: My theory:

OP is correct there are human voices in the recording BUT probably no secret message.

Why? FDev sound artists have to create audio "recordings" from scratch that sound realistic. Anyone who tried generating audio knows it's impossible (or not easy enough) to get good organic sounding audio from only procedural or artificial sources. So, they take recordings including human voices and mash them up in layers until they get what they are looking for as "organic background noise".

I listened to your attachments and I also hear human-sounding words, but no message.

Any explorer like me who has spent many hours with FSS may have heard some words like "turning east" in the scratchy background noise, but it means nothing.

I agree with you, what intrigs me here, is why this audio is only at 1 especific location near this "guardiand glifh" at the midle of the expanding arm of the energy pilon.
(and only before activation or after deactivation) and is clearly distinguable from the rest of the ambient sounds of the beacon.

No, that's your fantasy world, the real world doesn't work like that, if you really believe you can fly and jump off a tall building you will die, because gravity isn't a matter of belief. Yes, mentally ill people have done exactly that, and no it doesn't work. You can believe all you like, but if you want people to accept you are right you need what we call "evidence."
Remember "Breatharians"? Saying they don't need to eat, they can live on air alone?
Yeah, turned out the cult leader was a faker.
