UNKNOWN ARTEFACT: Sound Engineers, apply here!

You're right! And that's the video I was watching when I noticed that when the growl/howl happens, the artefact lights up.
The lights stay on while the chittering happens.
Once the chittering finishes, the lights go out, and the "tuba" purrs start.
The chittering fills the "empty" gap between the growl and the beginning of the purrs.

My audio snippet is from digiscream's video, which was taken in deep space. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2FQzPIZqms
Agreed, it does seem to be longer in that clip. I think this chittering is very important though, lots of people have been focussing on the tuba binary code and maybe ignored these other parts which might unlock everything.
This one is taken with the debug cam BUT I can hear clearly radio chatter.
This one is out in deep space but it features ships noises like the scanner pulses and other random noises the ship makes.
There really needs to be a good sample taken in deep space away from planet, stars, and stations outside the ship not pointing to the galactic core or any area of "interest" in order to be as a clean signal you can get.
I agree that the sound in Murp's video linked before seems to have an additional 3 digits (which I can't clearly hear, perhaps 7 8 4 ?).
Wishblend's twitch recording here seems to have even more chittering after the howls. Longer digits?

Understood, but this particular sample is in the same place, over different recordings, from different users. From this evidence alone it's highly unlikely to be outside interference, but is in fact a key part of the Artefact's song.
Good spot - it's definitely different.
Does anyone know anything else about this video? We need to isolate the differences between the recordings so that we can replicate the different sequences.
And it looks as though it ties in with visuals aswell. The artefact lights up when it gives out the whale growl as though it's starting a long distance call, then it stays lit up whilst we get this chittering sound which appears now to be longer in some of the clips we have. When the chittering ends, the lights power down and then we get the sequence of high and low tuba noises. It then seems to repeat this process.

I wouldn't condone such an approach, FDEV have said themselves that they don't want us dissecting the Game Files.
Nobody likes short-cuts when there is a view this pretty to be had

I took it 20km outside of Melvill Gateway in 109 Virginis with my ship about 35m away while I was in debug cam.
Agree, could this be a higher frequency part of that message, can it be isolated?
It's possible the message (if it is that ) is scattered through multiple freqs, and combining a pitched-up with a pitched-down version could yield something.
Filtering out those ring-mod-like frequencies should be a task as well, if someone has the tools to pinpoint them and scrub them from the sample.

A commander called glynie has just posted an hours worth of sound recordings in a separate thread. Really good quality and minimal interference. Gold dust for the sound engineers here.
