Yes, but I'm almost sure it's not "aahoi"
I hope some MORSE man could enlighten us...
Shame, it was also the 1st greeting used in a telephone call...I think.

Good morning CMDRs!
I don't want to become another "daygobah" case, so I'm bringing some proofs to you
Finally, here is the 4th mysterious sound the UA emits, in a continuous loop of about 5 seconds: I've isolated and amplified it.
For reference I'm talking about it here, not repeating myself again.
Activate the loop function at the bottom of the page, to hear it indefinitely. Tell me what you hear.

To me it seems MORSE code indeed! I'm not any good to decode MORSE but it seems something like:
.- .- .... --- ..
that decoded means "aahoi" that means absolutely nothing to me.
But an expert's ear could find it says something else: perhaps a system's name?
This is the recording I've isolated the clip from:
https://soundcloud.com/azerusrtifici...plague-ua-test
The sound is starting at 1:30, when the camera is very close to the UA, and repeats itself in the aforementioned loops of 5 seconds.
Are you talking about the cricket-like sound?
Or the fly-like buzzing?
If so, then I genuinely can't hear anything morse-like there, or a series of sounds whose length could be interpreted as such.
Not being difficult you understand - I am listening on a Nexus 5, tho, and the speaker is bad - so perhaps it's just me! I'm not writing it off, though, as the first time Morse was suggested in the block we now know to be Morse, I was exceedingly sceptical!

Yes that could be
But, now that I've showed you the sound I was talking about, I suggest to listen to the full recording, to see if I've misunderstood the loop and it is longer.

That is a pretty bad sample, in my opinion because the main sound i hear is the cittering(i hope you don't talk about that
). Isn't there a sample without chittering, for example between the purrs or something?

You have to listen it with earphones I think: there is a part of the already known MORSE code, because the sound I'm talking about is overlapping it, but I'm referring to the HIGH pitch sound, like a bip bip biiiiip, not the low pith chittering that we already know is MORSE.

No, not the chittering!
I'll try to cut another clip without the chittering, but the chittering one is the most "peaceful" moment, without any other HIGH sound, like the Howls or the Purrs.
EDIT: There is always at least a Purr in the middle of a clip, elsewhere...

at 1:30 you said?
i cant even hear it xD
all i can hear there sounds like a station transmission, but nothing from your sample^^

It's that sound, like a station transmission, but I've heard that sound even when the UA is in the middle of nowhere and no stations.

Here is a second clip without the chittering:
https://soundcloud.com/riccardo-sallusti/ua-4th-sound-isolated-clip-2
Unfortunately there is still one Purr in it, but there are always purrs in the middle of the sequence, even more than one:
I've selected a clip where the Purr is low.
EDIT: I have to say that I have a very sensible ear, being a piano player since the age of 7...

Actually, now I have headphones on there are even a few more sounds in the soundscape, Ill try to describe them with words
- The howl, the most obvious and loudest noise, seems to be at least two variations (ooowaaahhhooowahhhooooo)
- The chitters, which are the morse code (chitter-havent-you-worked-it-out-yet-chitter)
- The low pitched purrs, which are like slowed down trombones, there are two distinct tones, but the tone increases over time (purrrrrr, puuuuurrrrr)
- The buzz, a constant background noise, sounds like a radioactive bee (ooooooweeeeeeeooooooo)
Then the other noises I heard:
- A higher pitched squelch, starts low and goes high, like the noise an eyeball might make when crushed under a thumb (thwaarp)
- A higher pitched chitter-like sound, falls high to low 'slowing down' over about a second, like a wet tongue tutting, 'tickerticker, tick, tick, tut tut tut tut tut tut tut' - I think this one is interesting, as I think it starts earlier then when it actually becomes clear. I take a closer listen and see if I can isolate it. (in between working)

Welcome in the sound madness
Have you seen my post? I've isolated one of those sounds...Actually, now I have headphones on there are even a few more sounds in the soundscape, Ill try to describe them with words

Yes, there are many sounds. I've written down all the sounds i heard about with some examples: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=162998&p=2513216&viewfull=1#post2513216
Probably the one's you are talking about are already there. Or even better: they are not there!

The morse part of that sound clip says "PORT".
As for the "radioactive bee" as Grumbleweed puts it ... that's clearly just a loop of background "buzzing", which is clear for the purr one you linked a little further down.
EDIT: Let me clarify - I meant a background buzzing emitted by the UA, not a general "from the environment" buzzing. But it's still just that - a repeating loop of high-pitched "fizz" to give a constant background sound to the UA.

This is getting a bit frustrating!
More than a bit.
IT SAYS PORT BECAUSE RATKING RELEASED IT NEXT TO A STATION WITH THE NAME "SOMETHING PORT". We've been here with the morse side already. I was commenting about the specific "not the morse part" request, and that background noise is just that - a repeating loop of high-pitched background buzzing.

I did see your post, yep.
There is chitter morse in that clip, though, so now I'm wondering if that is what you're hearing? The only other sound I hear (apart from the purr) is the constant buzzing (radioactive bee) which doesn't sound to me to have any particular structure or rythm, is just a pitch phased buzz.
I'm not discounting it, I'm just not sure I'm hearing exactly what you're hearing, and like others it took me ages to 'hear' the morse too!

2O Ophuichi Sytem - Chargaff Port
was it...but i thought the morse only tells the name of a stellar object, not of a station? or does it count as one?

I'm not as sure as other cmdrs that it is a background noise. I also think its emitted by the UA. Its clearly audible in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ynwPcJyNvw
When RedWizzard comes closer to the UA this "noise" sets in. Its not audible before he comes close.
But i also have to say i hear nothing that reminds me to morse. In my ears its just a electric distortion noise or something.

QorbeQ is right, it says PORT because my first clip has some part of the chittering too. But I'm talking about the other sound, you call background radioactive bee.
First, it's not a background sound, because it's audible JUST close to the UA. Yes, it could be a background sound emitted by the UA as it is radioactive in some kind.
In my second clip, there is not chittering anymore, just that sound.
But really can't you hear the structure of bips? Long and shorts?
I totally thrust QorbeQ as he has the best ear here I think, and I don't want to harass you
But I really hear that structure... sorry...
EDIT:
In the second clip it starts with four long bips as I've cut it differently from the first, but the sequence is the same.
Diiii Diiii Diiii Diiii - Di Diiii Di Diiii Di Di Di Diiii or something like that...

Celestial Objects refers to stations as well. Sound cuts used to generate the alphabet were a combination of planets, stars and stations.
