I have analysed the recordings made by saman and cross checked the recordings from digital scream. Result: My "findings" (http://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=142912&p=2248006&viewfull=1#post2248006) are mostly a dead end. Features numbered 1 through 4 and 7 remain unchanged over many recordings and thus could contain only little to no information. However, I noticed that the whale sounds are not equidistant and the chittering seems to be composed of two parts: first part remains constant in all recordings from the same solar system and the second part changes for every recording but doesn't change within the recording. This could mean that the chittering is a code for the position of the UA (solar system and position within that system) but since the different recordings within a system were surely made in a short period of time, the chittering could also encode a time signal (hours, minutes?). So maybe it's a countdown to thargoid invasion? Or just another dead end ...

That omniscience must be handy.
MB? Who is MB?
Michaleus Brookesys also known on the forums as the Lesser Spotted Brookesy or just plain Michael Brookes.
Well, something is going on in the galactic entetaiment industry.
Fereral youth are abandoning VR for RL night clubs.
Aisling presents a new light and sound device called Prism's Shade (while wearig a tinted visor).
Anti instrument music is the latest and gratest.
All in all, we got nothing.
http://www.twitch.tv/ratking15/c/6736352 resualts from our expidition to test the UA being near a black hole look at the sounds of it?
He is my copy from the black hole test.

The bluing dissipaters in front of the blue / white star, apart from a small area around itself.

So after ending the first stream this happened.... http://www.twitch.tv/ratking15/c/6736525
Is there anyone else besides me who's looking into the "chittering" insect sounds? (The ones after the alternating "whale sound", while the artefact is still lit up, and before the "tuba sounds", while the artefact is dim.) If so, pop me a PM please! I believe I have some interesting leads, but I need more data, and no longer have the means to get it on my own. It would also be good to compare notes.

Well I belive the links that me and Wishblend posted above could provide more data though that I'm not sure of as we were didn't record sound of the UA speciffically and were focused mainly on keeping it alive or existing.
I'm actually quite intrigued by this description.
Any sound/music guys that understands what it means?

Did you record the sound near the blackhole adn white star?
If you record the sound of, say, a violin and then look at the spectrogram, there will be a sharp line corresponding to the note you played. But there will also be lines higher up in the spectrum at regular intervals although you didn't play these notes. They are called harmonic overtones. So playing one note will result in multiple parallel lines in the spectrum. If you now take the "perfect tone" (aka sine wave of that frequency) and "substract the same note from the chosen instrument" you'll be left with just the harmonic overtones. Since the overtones sharply decrease in amplitude the higher they are, the note you actually played will be most dominant but the overtones add some warmth to the sound and without them the recording sounds artificial. That's why CDs and especially mp3s sound like crap compared to SACDs / DVDAs. Anyway, removing the base note would certainly create a nice effect (didn't try that) but I don't see such patterns in the recordings of the UA.
We were right next to a black hole which you can tell if you watch the video properly.
Oh yes on a side note the whale like sounds which the UA's do can only be heard from one if you have two but both light up.

Well, it's the other way around around: I think what the quote (https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=142912&p=2256065&viewfull=1#post2256065) meant was, that there will be only overtones. Then only the base note would be missing, which wouldn't be that bad, because you could extrapolate it from the overtones, i think. But having stared at the spectrum for a whole weekend, I just don't see such pattern. If you do, please tell me where. I'd gladly follow another lead.
