From Sosus to Wind Farms
Back in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, this kind of sonic technology was extremely important to the military. Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS) Tracking things like the Soviet submarine movement. (Think about it Red October Hunt Here’s the spy game. ) Using underwater beam formation and triangulation, the system can identify submarines hundreds of miles away. The SOSUS mission was declassified in 1991.
Today, high-tech buoys, gliders, tags, and towing arrays are also widely used in non-military research. In particular, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) operates a major system of marine acoustic acquisition devices that do everything from tracking to identifying animal movement patterns.

However, NOAA also uses a network of devices. Monitor non-animal noise– Includes earthquake investigations of earthquakes, boats and oil drills.
The rest of the Titans scattered across the seabed.
In June 2023, these devices featured audible abnormalities at common times and locations. Titan explosion. The recording was handed over to the Investigation Committee and has now been cleared for release.
Titan It is still for both an investigation and a litigation purpose. Critics have long argued that submarines are not entirely safe due to their architectural technology (carbon fiber vs. traditional titanium) and wireless and touchscreen-based control systems (including Logitech game controllers).
“At some point, safety is pure waste,” Rush once told journalists. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to know exactly where that point is. But now it’s possible to hear how it sounds when you’re on that wrong side and when you’re far below the surface of the sea.
