How close are you from the origin point of its boxel? (to cross-check Canonn's hypothesis that it points to one)
TBH, unknown. At the moment, I don't understand Boxel as a means of navigation. I followed the grid available when in the Galactic Map. At 2.8ly from Juenae WC-E C1-437 I started to get further from Stuemeae JM-W C1-5825. (.68ly was as close as I got) I finally ended that journey and went back for repairs. I then moved to the various systems closest to the signal location and checked both the signal direction and orrey map, hoping to find the "base system". I have learned 3 things;
1- It is likely that the signal is tied to a specific system. It is not possible (in game) to supercruise from one system to the next. We have to Hyperspace Jump to interact with different systems instances.
2- This boxel has to be the means of finding the signal system. It has to be as based on my own actions and the research paper from CMDR PublicStaticVoid, the audio locating does not point to a single point.
3- Just a hunch, but after watching a 3yr old MATTIUS vid on this Signal, we might need to trigger an event. My theory is to bring a Guardian Artifact along and jump around these systems. Maybe bring a Thargoid artifact and do the same. A long shot but worth mentioning, bring the Martian Relic. Even modest explorers would not think twice about the distance required to get here and to do it, like myself, ditched useless mass. Like a cargo hold.
This shall be my last entry in this thread regarding the Landscape Signal. It makes sense to continue this endeavor here.
"So long and thanks for all the fish!"
The origin of the signal seems to exist between any known systems. My post here shows a 3D image of that area of space (and my post a couple later shows some more) that combine the Canonn theory with the IRH original identification. Your own investigation is also in the same vicinity.
I personally remain sceptical about Canonn's theory about the boxel corner, since Fdev have confirmed that the Landscape Signal is "working as designed", therefore it's placement is as it's supposed to be.
I do think we're supposed to have done exactly what you and many of us have done, tracked the signal to approximately that location and determine that the origin lies between systems - therefore unreachable by conventional means. I also do think (as per my previous post here and many others recently) that the Raxxla Codex points us towards the Landscape Signal - and therefore it does belong here if you want to keep posting on this thread
As I've said before, that really leaves two options:
- We're supposed be trying to figure out how to get to that un-reachable location.
- We're not supposed to reach the source*, and therefore we're supposed to use it in some other way.
* yet?

The 3D model shows what I found, only that intersection is between 2 systems. Juenae WC-E C1-437 and Stuemeae JM-W C1-5825. When I was aligned to the signal from other systems, I found that my results matched CMDR PublicStaticVoids. The direction of travel can not be triangulated. Meaning 3 vectors do not align to a single point. Because of this I agree with #1 and #2 of your reply. The obvious approach has failed, it's time for the "other way".
Another thing that crossed my tin foil hat is that maybe (in the intreset finding Raxxla) the DW toast is not describing places to visit, but alignment points. "To Raxxla!" could not be a toast, but after aligning to the Toasts points it could be interpreted as Picards "Engage".
Canonn has another expedition in the works asking for pilots to interact with thirty something Guardian Beacons at the same moment in Apr of 3310. Might be a good idea to hang around the L. sig. at that time.
Until then, I'm gunna stay in my lane and log systems with Canonn.
It's a relief that I found this thread as I have never forgotten Raxxla. It's always on simmer in the back of the ol melon.You might want to take one of these

anybody go to Sag A and using the black hole point towards the signal? shot in the dark but may be something for those with eyes to see
also couldnt help but notice via system names in the area let takes an example Stuemeae GG-Y c2284 is there any with 2296 as the ending?

You mean look at the signal through Sgr A* If so yes I have. I've also done it the other way round. I also tried from Source 2 also, just in caseanybody go to Sag A and using the black hole point towards the signal? shot in the dark but may be something for those with eyes to see
signal doesnt change i presumeYou mean look at the signal through Sgr A* If so yes I have. I've also done it the other way round. I also tried from Source 2 also, just in case
Sadly not, nothing I've tried altered the signal, unfortunately.
More specifically: it combined the Landscape Signal with the sound of Sgr A*, since the Landscape Signal can be 'heard' through everything in space, but it didn't seem to significantly add or remove anything in a meaningful way.
"it combined the Landscape Signal with the sound of Sgr A*" that's actually interesting, could we be missing another signal that both or more need to be combined
Ah, a transdimensional signal... Good old science fiction
I mean... yeah, this is the entire basis of my theory https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/the-quest-to-find-raxxla.168253/page-1641#post-10292520

From what I understand of the early Canonn report the signal is effectively galaxy-wide so long as you are roughly pointed towards the source, correct?
So if there was another 'map' piece shouldn't it also be detectable from a certain direction anywhere in the galaxy? Unless it takes a different form it seems fairly implausible to have a companion source somewhere else.
Similarly if it's an object floating in the void between stars, the game will only generate content from the star system you arrived into, so you would need to supercruise from multiple nearby systems to actually stumble across this thing....
quite a formidable effort.
To be clear this doesn't prove that it is not a map piece or object, but it does indicate that the signal itself is likely a standalone piece of information. Possibly to guide us NEARBY the location of another clue. Basically a game of galactic Hot & Cold

Certainly - some Stuemeae c-class sectors have over 6000 stars in them - so it just depends on how tightly you want to define "the area" as to whether any of them are close enough.
Yes. I've tested this extensively too. It's the same everywhere, except within the influence of landable planets.
My theory is that the reson the Landscape signal can be seen "through" other sources is specifically so you can combine the audio from it with something else.
So for example:
You find a planet that's making a strange sound locally, you position your ship so the planet is between you and the centre of the Galaxy, the sound from the Landscpae Signal combines with the planet to fill in one of the blank areas.
So, to be specific, as per my post here, I believe the Landscape Signal is the "blank map" and there are local* sources of audio (local to a planet or star system) that you combine to fill in bits of the signal, thus creating the whole map. I believe that's what the Raxxla Logo is showing us too:
* Local as in: within systems that only is detectable within the system, or maybe even near to the object, like specific planets or space stations, etc.
My assumption is that we're supposed to be looking for the "effects of the Sirens" within the game lore and narratives. Halsey and Gan fit with the Codex as per my post here, and I believe they are markers as to what we're looking for.
I agree, I don't think the signal is supposed to be reached - OR - if it's supposed to be reached, it's not done by wildly flying around.Similarly if it's an object floating in the void between stars, the game will only generate content from the star system you arrived into, so you would need to supercruise from multiple nearby systems to actually stumble across this thing....

That gives me one idea.
In my earlier post on the "Milton Gardens" in stations I had thought of the Pillars of Earth holding up the world within the great cosmic ocean.
I know by this time in our future the Pillars of Creation in the Eagle Nebula are due to be blasted away by a nearby supernova, but perhaps by attempting to follow the symbolic interpretation of each sphere in that garden, it could at least be a start to locating another clue / signal / location. So places that involve the mythological mountains / pillars that hold up the earth / sky / world / universe could be a good start.
The last time I was out there I was jumping in a Cobra with only 25LY range

I understand now, so in theory the signal broadcasts ‘everywhere’, the signal source is effectively irrelevant, but the point of listening isn’t?
That there exists only one location in the galaxy which is a fulcrum and these signals align only at that point to become ‘harmonious’?
This location then may be what the Codex, identifies, fly to that particular zone and listen and we understood?
This makes sense to me, and ties nicely with the ‘silent song of the spheres’ concept and the visions about the caretakers of the galaxy. It affects only certain people because they were in the correct place, to hear it.
So the quest continues as normal, except rather than trying to only look for some unremarkable moon etc we also need to consider the audio.
Obstacles:
The obvious downside is not everyone is an audio engineer (unless we work collectively), or unless said signal become incredibly obvious, like a moment of enlightenment!
If Raxxla is not initially visual nor physical no wonder no one’s found it, granted said signal when decrypted could still point us elsewhere, but how many of us play with the sound down/off?
I would hope good design work to have also incorporated a visual cue as well, as is with the ‘visions’ - an area of the void illuminated?
