Speculation alert? 
OMG it's a wormhole! I just realised. That's why the game points us so close to a BH! I always wondered the UA corrosion was just a coincidence, I mean if we'd give nuclear reactor to an amazonian tribe they would be killed by it as well. They will power it up and the artifact simply points to Merope beacuse it already has the navigation programming in it.
Whoever wants to establish contact want's to ensure their guns won't kill us on the other side so they map our vessels and make an IFF thingy.
Mytery solved. Now we wait.
I'm sure barnacles were meant to simply replace raisin in cookies.

I've been getting close enough to planets to find 'mist'. It generally appears in very low-land areas of planets and moons that have volcanism. These low-land areas are usually in craters and canyons but can cover a large surface area too.
If any CMDRs have time and are able, and want a good example, go and visit 'Ariel', one of Neptune's moons in the Sol system. I suspect it is THAT kind of thing that we are looking for. A planet that is misty enough to obscure the night sky.

We have literally never found a Meta-Alloy yet. That is part of the current search. Rest assured I will be rubbing UAs over everything new that we find
Mate, those alloys are what everyone's looking for. So far noone found any. Or at least he kept it a secret!
Here is a recording from inside the SRV at Merope 3C -49.4478 -39.6207. Wave scanner off, game music off.

If you want mist, HIP 17694 B 13 B is very close to the Pleiades.
mist seems to be related with ICE....
so right now on the sys the only planet with ice and metal contend (also HI-G) is HIP 17862 1

I'm currently doing a search of any planets with mist that are outright INSIDE the Pleides Nebula.
Anyone else seeing the big black patches on Merope 1A, they look like rendering errors but they persist from ls away all the way down.
Since no one seemed to show any love to Merope 2's moons, I went and searched them. The usual. These have the creepy ambient noises too like the Merope 3s though so if someone can confirm if it's a Merope thing or it is the case for other systems as well, it would be swell.
Edit: These are probably the ambient sound of the inside of the ship when thrusters are off ans ship is idle. No need to get enthusiastic about them if you ask me.

I *think*, though am not 100% sure, that this is what shows it is a misty area of a planet.

Given how long it took to find a UA in the first place I'm not surprised at all haha
This google spreadsheet may help. I'm making a list of all landable bodies inside the nebula. Just noticed the black bits so I have a couple more systems to add

I had the same after a while in various locations.
Keep in mind while landed the Ship is basically powered off, giving you the normal idle SFX that sets in after some 15-20sec anytime you're idle and anywhere in normal space.
Should be the same you'd get anywhere when you park your Ship in normal space, point at an Object (Sun/System/Planet) and wait until the idle SFX sets in.
But for verification, one could always record the idle SFX while landed on the Planet, then a 2nd in normal space just sitting idle while pointed at the Planet.
PS.
I'm done checking POuI - Points of UnInterest.... I can't take them anymore. Seen enough man-made junk.
Kinda typical we're expected to grind the currently absolutely worst RNG game mechanic of the entire Horizons update
Plus, I had a few red warning lights flashing in my mind during my search after letting all the Information wander through my head (deja vu) which eventually made me abort my search attempts for good...

I don't see why this surprises you. This search is like playing the jackpot lottery but with even worse odds.
Or driving a car with blindfolds, earplugs, no sense of directions and no clear destination.
We don't even know what we're really lookin for I mean

To make sure the sound isn't from the ship itself, it would be nice to verify if the sound does happen when in a ship other than a Viper MkIV at this location on that planet. Also, does it happen when you're on another planet (out of Merope preferably)?

Awesome!
In which case this narrows tonight's search down to;
Titdally locked worlds with vapour geysers;
Maia A 7
Maia B 1 B A
Maia B 2 D
Maia B 3 A
Also the planet that is NOt tidally locked but DOES have Vapour geysers;
Maia B 2 C
Down to a single planet ? Well to do that we would need enough information available to allow us to glean which planet should be the focus
We don't know if there is.
I'll carry on as I am then : )
