Well with the barnacle sounds there's no obvious separator at x20.
But at normal speed there seems to be loads of different sounds in there, perhaps some things are lost when sped up.

All the known digits of Pi. That wouldn't repeat.
Well it would, but it would take 421,740 years to record it then another 21,087 years to listen back at x20 speed. =p

Ok...let's not
Really any transcendental number would work.

Is there a recording "After" the alloys have been harvested ? Also is it a combination ? Do the UA colour pulses give the start end of the message ?
Then the question would be "Why would the dev's waste their time implementing a puzzle that noone would solve?" And I doubt the dev's would throw away their time like that.
Ahh the good ol' ''MB Is and/or is not here. It MEANS something!''
Schrödinger's MB? [haha]
Just a thought regarding the Barnacle sounds, but perhaps it has been mentioned before - I noticed that there are differences and coincidences in the L and R channel sounds (hope that the cmdr who recorded the file wasn't moving). This has to mean something, or not? The start of a message could be indicated by coincident sounds and the differences in L/R are parts of the morse(or the other way round)? Maybe a well trained ear could even hear the differences while standing in front of the barnacle... so no need for external tools. Can someone confirm that there are sounds coming from either the left, the right or from both sides of the barnacle while not moving? If so, wouldn't it be unusual to hear a noise just on one ear and not (less noisy) on the other?

Just random thoughts but UA progression was :
1) Seemingly random noises
2) UA "evolves"
3) Those noises became an image, implying UAs are scanning our ships
I'm kinda assuming the barnacles are new entities and they haven't been there all along but perhaps it's a similar pattern..
1) Seemingly random noises
2) Barnacle "evolves"
3) Those noises become X implying Y
If they are indeed new, an evolving entity is possible I guess. 2.1?
UAs moved from a non-repeating sequence to a repeating one right?
Perhaps barnacles are just exercising their vocal chords for now.
I guess it's gonna be an aggressive evolution thanks to all the shootings.
edit: actually ignore the above im confused. morse was name of local body and that evolved to ship scan.
What was seemingly random noise on the UA was the purrs, and they still are as far as we know.

During last weeks cg I noticed the sound seemed to change whenever I attacked the barnacle to harvest it to that louder more urgent 'Siren like' noise followed by the deep 'undergound like' rumble that starts at 1:54 on your recording. It seemed to me like it was a distress call and seemed to often follow my attack. Has anyone else observed this? It might just be coincidence.
Or it could be a tacit confirmation that the people pointing out that it is likely nothing have already figured that out.
Or it could be a hint that while it isn't morse code we have found SOME sort of binary signal
Speaking of which, has anyone tried converting the dots and dashes into zeroes and ones and then into binary bytes? Tricky, because we wouldn't know where the start of the byte is... but at least there'd only be 8 different possible start points to try. Might be able to do this a bit later. (Edit: just had a try of this, it doesn't appear to produce anything meaningful)

I have regenerated and have thought about this whole message stuff in the morse...
It is very problematic to find fitting words in that whole morse nonsense along with the trillions of possible combinations.
But have we taken into account the second sound (that high pitched steel cutting sound and the "crunch") are in there to
signal us that a word or part of the word stopped?
Could it be that the morse transponder is damaged and tries to word out a complete message, but has a damaged database?
Imagine you would scramble text messages to emulate white-noise and signal scramblers:
Example:
Original: This is a test message.
Scrambled: This ixxxxest mxxxage
Any ideas?

The problem with binary is that even if we get the 1s and 0s what then? If it is a number that's ok. We can probably decipher the number. But if it is symbols... what table should we use? ASCII? UTF-8/16/32? Unicode?
By the way how do you guys decide which sound is . and which is - or 1 and 0? There are 2 sounds and to me they are the same length.
Problematic how? I think this just seems to add credence to the idea that patterns are being found in what is either noise, or another type of non-morse signal, and that while the signal might be of interest, morse is a red herring here.
We still haven't found anything longer than the initial fragment, and my red herring senses are tingling hard.
Could be intentional in the sound generation, or it could be dependent on the recording location. Perhaps some of the sounds are emanating from the spires, not the central structure. In that case the L/R channels could indicate direction, and would change based on your position. Would be pretty awesome if the L/R channel sound changed when one of the meta-alloys was harvested.
Great stuff though everyone. Always fun to read some actual science-ing.
Oh so the analysis has switched from morse tuba to screechy-sound now?
Interesting, i didn't catch that
Thought you guys were still running the 5hours morse through the probability generator.
If you listen to the screech it sounds like sinusoidal wave to me, maybe it is an anlogue signal with info modulated onto it?
