- An extra video this week! The audio conversation between the Apollo 10 crew about the eerie, space-y heard on the farside of the Moon, transcribed, set over video of the crew in the command module. (And the audio doesn't go with the video!) I put half of this together the other day for the initial video so decided to finish it up for my fellow die-hard nerds! Cheers, guys!

Looks like you're gonna have to upload this video again, this time explaining that the buzzing sound is not the "space music."
So can you hear the space music at all then? All I hear is the buzzing, and the talking of course.
True because people have no common sense. This is why they do not visit us.
You can hear the whistling at 2:54.
The louder constant noise isn't the music I think.
@@billyaxon I think it has to do with the fidelity of the recordings. Obviously if the sound was louder than they were (as it appears) they would have probably mentioned it
@@Casper50002
Not hearing it
I'd be crazy if i had to listen to the buzzing sound all day in such tight spacecraft
Check out full comm videos of Apollo 13. Where they had to turn of transmitters and amplfiers to save power. The comm after that is incredibly noisy, annoying and hard to understand. It needs the patience of an angel to deal with that. Aside from annoying background they also have to repeat stuff all the time.
And that not for hours but days.
Finally a good observation from someone close to an explanation of the so called space music. It apparently is nothing more than interference either within the module or NASA communications. Seems no pitch variance and points to no intelligence type signal.
Lanky=I tend to agree. As I said from the module or maybe an open mic? . We have been dispatched to several ufo sightings but never a conformation However why do you think the astronauts on one mission reported a ufo following them? This is when NASA stopped open communications. With so much cover up on Mars imagery this all may very well be true. Thanks
Dunno... just sounds like a day in my electronic music studio. ;)
@ Trooper Bias
The electrical interference you hear on the recording is not what they are talking about.
It happened when they went on the far side/dark side of the moon when they lose transmission cutoff with earth.
Although there is a recording device in the craft, which the information is automatically sent back to earth, once they regain transmission connectivity, so Houston then can hear what was going on during 10 minute cutoff period.
The music they are hearing is detailed almost like a whistling type sound, with background noise almost sounding that of an orchestra (not to be taken literally as an earthly composed orchestra number.)
When they regain communication, they reply back to Houston on the public broadcasting with a greeting of gaining singnal and abruptly divulge ..."Boy, you're NOT GONNA BELEIVE THIS FRANK!" Which is then immedialty switched to a private line with Houston.
The Frank in which he was relaying a statement to in the transmission, was that of Frank Boreman, of Apollo 8, who also orbited the moon and was a close friend to the Astronaut, and was an Aeronautical Engineer at Mission Control.
2:12
That was strange, like some pitched voice mumbling in the very background of the buzz.
I heard a womans moan
Sounds like a woman in the background. That's crazy
I hear a high pitched vacuum
I heard something right before it cuts out and he says, "Yeah I was going to go see who was outside".
"You want some more brownies?"
"NO."
クォーク核ダーク what kind of brownies?

Finally some one uploaded the full real audio. Thanks for this, Amy!
Yeah, I don't hear shit. Just a very loud annoying noise. This ain't music
@@gardetto265
In the module it ossilated. On the audio you can hear it but it's more a consistent drone.
Sounds like tinnitus to me. Hell, I hear that every day.
Michaela Cannon you must be normal then. I hear aliens singing to the foil hats....

Yeah I have too it's bad sometimes
The buzzing tone isn’t what they’re talking about
It’s not the buzzing, it’s the bells.
I'm surprised they found this considering how many things NASA loses or destroys.
Yeah "looses" 😂
This time they decided to overlay an insufferable buzzing noise, instead.
Great comment! What telemetry data 🤦♀️ @hukabuktx6753
It was recorded over and used for later missions except the more interesting bits like this.
Most was just random stuff that wouldn't be worth keeping honestly.
Also the film doesn't last forever so I'm sure many other stuff has been long destroyed by time.
@@daviddjian8811yeah USA was the first to the moon.
Sorry your communist heroes couldn't do it 🤷♀️
Amy - the attention given recently to the sadly under-remembered Apollo 10 mission reminded me of a question that's been bugging me since the Apollo days. We were told back then (and it's still the official record) that when Tom, John and Gene plunged back to earth, they were the fastest humans ever at 24,790 mph. Meaning that they were marginally faster than the returning crews of Apollos 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17. The question is: why? What about the Apollo 10 mission - trajectory, weight, etc. - made it faster than the others?
Probably trajectory and the specific technology that they were testing out.
Thats a really great question I didn't know it was the fastest decent and id also love to hear more about this
6yrs and no fkin reply..if we're me I'd unsubscribe...that's just lazy and completely non bothered about viewers..
The variance between the fastest ands slowest entry's is only a couple hundred MPH (Apollo 8 was 64mph slower, Apollo 11 was 200mph slower). There isn't really any one factor that made it the fastest, but the biggest factor that influences is the trajectory, things like where the moon is in its orbit at the time of burn, and the amount of DV remaining in the CSM. Also, the CSM didn't have to do any major DV consuming plane-change burns to line its self back up with a landing site, and it wasn't full of moon rocks.
I didn't hear music. Just a steady hum.
Sounds exactly like Drake.
+ironcityblue Let's not insult the interference.
+Bobby Harper I does sound like a hum to me too. It would probably drive me crazy if it was me. Especially if it goes on for a while.
You aren't hearing the music. The Noise from the craft is blocking it out. If you listen between 3:14 to 3:20 you can faintly hear it in the background.
Still not music.
Well, I mean, there are composition pieces that are just "place your arm on the piano keys, that's the chord" or "turn on the radio," so maybe aliens have reached the "pretentiousness" stage of music theory....
Still better than anything from Nicki Minaj
It shows difference between whore and astronauts .
Yep

I grew up taught to revere NASA by my dad who was a space enthusiast himself. It was one of the best days of my life when I visited Kennedy Space Center. When I get a chance to go back I am going nice and early, and I'm spending the entire day there, alone if I have to.

@@intermilan9731 Animals As Leaders? Seems about right.
I don't think they are referencing the main tone, if you turn your volume down a little bit you can make out other tones behind it, like they said a kind of whoosing whistling noise that moves up and down, especially in the later parts of the video
there is absolutely nothing interesting to hear! i wan't my lifetime back! who is this chick?

Sound travels differently in a vacuum than on Earth.
@@johnfly7384 sound does not travel at all in a vacuum. sound needs a medium and vacuum is the absence of a medium

Tom Stafford had one mission on his way to the moon: Eat everything.
At 1:40 u can hear the whistling sound and he mentions it. Not sure about music tho, the hum your hearing is not what they are referring to.
This this issue pop up on later missions? Michael Collins wrote ""Had I not been warned about it, it would have scared the hell out of me." but not that he heard it on Apollo 11.
Stafford: "You want some more brownies?"
Alien: "GIVE THAT HERE HUMAN!"
oh, brownies, is that why he said "ya, we sure is gettin high"?
The buzzing sound may be from the onboard computer. The early computers could all be picked up on radios held nearby. The tone is usually caused by the computer running in a loop and scanning for input. If you set the machine a task the tone changes.
They would be able to identify it.
That is some annoying white noise.
+Brian Shea not white noise
+Man of Philosophy black noise matters
+rich5562000 I 100% agree with you bro ;)
Leave Jarrah out of this.
The spooky audio is quite clearly heard at 4:20 to 4:30 for 10-seconds. Right after he says "I'll bet I'm locked onto a side lobe" referring to a radio frequency beam lobe side using a steerable parabola dish or yagi-uda antenna. It sounds like a cyclical chirping of a Beluga whale, except they can't cycle the bio-acoustics like that. Sounds more mechanical or technological. It's not the VHF range-finder as they had radar for that. And range finding to what? They had not arrived on the surface yet. They were just flying around the far side and had not done the LEM yet. So range-finding to the lunar surface is better done with microwave radar and not a VHF radio.
It sounded artificial and deliberate to me. Could it have been a secret unmanned Luna mission the Russians never told us about? Could it be an auto-beacon "someone" other than us left on the far-side? One that triggers when it spots a moving visitor (like us) optically or radio-wise? Maybe it was an auto-beacon from ??? just saying "hello" in an unknown data format.
Worse case scenario: maybe it was Harry Potter-esque type stuff? (Just spit-balling here...)
The chirping isn't the noise. It's the high pitch whistling. You can hear it faintly behind the buzzing. It goes up and down in octaves so it sounds like a song. You can hear it more clearly near the end
That’s not it. This video has it filtered out.
ua-cam.com/video/qvkY-uLu0W0/v-deo.html
the video doesnt contain the audio so its pointless. Thats why everyone is so confused. The audio of the "music" is a whistling sound thats like the instrument called a Theremin. You wont be able to hear it from this video.
Nope. Still can't hear shit.
not gonna lie, you had me until Harry Potter
How can they say that is "space music"? That sounds like an alarm.
That's not the sound they are referring to.
@@gamerodoyle3807 do you know witch sound they are referring to? All links have like a 2 second recording of a sound all mixed with astronauts voices and journalists usual stupid comments lol

Well space is very alarming, so it would make sense their music is too.
It sounds like bells being rang.

" No! "
"(Mumble) go hungry." 😂
This video does not have the music, that buzz noise is not what they were referring to.
+MonashSQ Do you have a link that you could share, because I'm hearing a faint whistle, but that could be anything.
@The Reverend Jim Jones get help
Straight flames. 🔥
0.25 Videospeed, will let you hear something else. Different from earhurting sounds before.
Everyones talking about the buzzing, but you can hear a faint tune behind the buzzing of the equipment. 3 or so minutes in it seems to get a little louder, maybe because they moved.
Sounds like the noise you would hear on a cold windy day
That sounds like outer space music, but the fact is that they are in there. So, I read about it and it says that this sound came after 102 hours and 12 minutes, when they went into the area of dark moon. So there isn't any explanation yet that how did that outer space sound entered into the ship or what.
Idk if I'm being clear, but that's pretty much it.
This is NOT music. All I hear is an annoying tone.
+A.Lionel Maury If you listened to this for several hours it might start to sound like something is happening

Haha, I like how the American TV version of this story was all "DUN DUN DUN, MUSIC FROM BEYOND".
The sound is between the pitches G sharp and A. The A is vibrating 440 times a second.
YOU'RE vibrating 440 times a second.
I don't think that's the sound in question. It was mentioned that it sounded like space music, eerie space music, you would have to have grown up watching Twilight Zone and shows from back in the day to know what he was talking about it's definitely not the buzzing sound cuz that's not space music, that doesn't sound eerie, just hard on the ears. Awesome video footage added for sure.
No that's the number of times your rubbing yourself for take-off
Yeah I remember the real clip and it sounded a lot like Raymond Scott’s music from ten and stimpy
That sounds like it’s coming from the UHF band if it’s vibrating that fast.
Skip intro: The good stuff starts at 1:35 in for future reference. ]:o)
Man it’s the communication transmissions not the sound itself
Can't here nothing but the sounds of the machines of the spaceship!
Yes me too..
Unfortunately true
vid starts at 1:34 but this isnt the music just a bunch of cosmic noise. this isnt the music they were talking about. sounds like saturn.
No worries ~ That long buzzing sound is just the Matrix re-booting reality.
Know what happens when you put a mic close to a magnet? You get this kind of feed back. That would be my first impression.
The point isn't the buzzing sound it's the ones around it. Also halfway through the pitch of the whole buzz changes
That's NOT the sound. This is the recording but there's a separate recording of what they were hearing!
I heard the chimy sounds underneath of it I know it wouldn't be hard to remove that frequency pitch from the recording for someone who knows but idk how to do that
It translates to :"MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!"
We need to get an audio person to remove the buzzer sound...easy peasy if u have the equipment
Ah shit, when that bassline dropped tho! Moon got some bumpin music
It's just a loud buzzing sound in the background. Where's the music???
Yea I'd be shutting that off after about a minute.
Why does it sound like a weird distorted voice saying turn on the water? At 1:45 unless it’s one of the Astronauts..
The sound is 'feedback'. Command module and lunar module are on complimentary frequencies for full duplex, and receivers and transmitters are all on all the time. The microphones pick up the sound from the loudspeakers, which then keep adding the reception to the noise that is already there, and so on. When the amplification gets too much, a sound results. Operators of the sound systems for rock bands battle with this all the time.
That constant consistent high pitched noise IS NOT the "music" that they heard on Apollo 10. That audio has never been made public.
Apollo 11 also heard the mysterious music.
Please tell me when Apollo 11 heard the music
According to "Mysteries of the Museum" on Travel Channel, NASA's post-mission analysis of that sound declared it as mutual feedback from the radios of the Apollo 10 Lunar and Command Modules. Yeah, right! Like professional astronauts wouldn't be able to recognize that sound right off the bat.
Everyone: Is that sound from aliens?
Stafford: You guys want some grape juice?
The Jovian radio emission hypothesis presented in the Space Channel video takes a pretty hard hit from basic fact checking. Jovian radio emission strength falls off precipitously above 40 MHz. The Apollo VHF communications radios operated between 2100 and 2300 MHz.
VHF is 30 to 300 mhz
Sounds like the intercom is picking up noise from the inverters.
what music? I heard an annoying buzzing or something but no music.
That irritating sound is either caused by a smoke alarm that needs new batteries or someone left the hatch door open in the Command Module that will allow space flies to get into the Command Module that will need to be killed by the space flyswatter.
Is that humming noise a mechanical component? Did they hear that the whole time they were up there?
Yup
Sooo, that non-stop whine in the background is what we're talking about? Are we just not hearing any variation in tone due to the older mic technology? It just sounds like one constant singular-tone pitch. I'm not hearing anything other than one constant pitch tone.
NorthernChev i don't know why but listen to cockpit voice recordings and they also have a constant hum or its they glycol pump
Trebor it’s not
It's probably the AGC computer's data lines interfering with the radio transmission's they (Apollo 10 crew) were having with Houston. There were some clicks in the "music", probably the AGC polling some register.
4:20 is where you can hear it clearly they are not talking about the buzzing noise
Kinda amazing that they have high strangeness going on and all they do is play catch. Too bad, maybe an opportunity missed.
It sounds like the wiring is absorbing electromagnetic energy in a feedback. Looking at the placement of the Sun at the time and date, it could have solar particle charging? The "dark side" of the Moon was well-lit for a good part of it, though Jupiter's magnetosphere could have been reaching the wiring as well as it was reasonably lined-up: Earth - Moon - Capsule - Jupiter.
what is that beam at 4:13
Love how they are just having some snacks and drinks while this eerie sustained tone just played.
All I hear is the buzzing of the equipment
It sounds like one long note not really changing am I missing something?
You have to listen closely, past the buzzing now. It sounds like bells being rang or a xylophone maybe. Creepy.
You should do a video on "The Soviet Recovery of an Apollo Capsule"
Im an audio engineer of 35 years. That is indicative of feedback. The assertion that the other module doesn't have a radio seems implausible, as they would need some kind of coordination to take off from the moon and re-attach to the luner module. However im going to investigate further as it is slightly curious that the cure for feedback like that is simply to turn off the radio in question and then turn it down, which no one did.
Am I the only one out there that heard them talk about brownies and then later in the video (5:33 ) they talk about being high?
Hilarious
Sounds to me like a warning signal that needs fine tuning or decryption. As a technician, I wold wonder what electronics is actually receiving/transducing the signal. There is no indication that they had microphone scanning for emf let alone audio frequencies. It would be nice to get a high resolution sample but ...
Calling it space music is a very large stretch.
Smart! If you need to hide the "anti-gravity" airplane engine sound, that would be captured by cameras, play a high buzz sound in it and call it "space music" to be more "romantic".
Came here from a TPB podcast, ready to be spooked and not sleep for days, and its just 5minutes of buzzing sound, and apparently that's not even the sound. So I heard nothing.
Why would *ANYONE* call that noise music?? I dont believe thats the sound they heard.
Interesting audio recording considering one of the astronauts later claimed his comments were edited by NASA from saying the music sounded like a choir of women to it sounding like whistling
The sound certainly warranted extra study.
Presumably all astronauts are extremely competent with electronics and they would have already heard just about every kind of interference there is.
If it’s a total unknown to them then it’s obviously physically different somehow and has the potential to teach technicians something.
The main problem is that astronauts found themselves forced to adopt a ‘lie to fly’ policy where they kept quiet about any anomalies for fear that NASA would perceive them as having lost their nerve and cut them from any future flight missions.
I’m not sure of the technical reason for this particular sound but I assume it’s origin to be natural.
No different from the first time we detected Pulsars and thought aliens were signalling us.
Pretty sure Cernan drops the F Bomb on one of these revs just after AOS and presumably before he knows the ground is listening
It sounds more like 400 Hz power appearing on the audio to me.
450
+Noir Fatale 453
+Merlin Skinner Interesting. Apollo certainly had 400 Hz power (ref. www.apollosaturn.com/asnr/power1.htm). I have worked on some elderly avionics equipment and it had this kind of sound to it (synchros etc.)
+Noir Fatale Could it be the frequency error is due to transfer from whatever video system was used on Apollo (probably American NTSC 60 Hz frames) through to UA-cam with possible intermediates. Any slight speed-up or slow-down would cause this kind of error.
I've plotted the spectrum of a part with just the tone and found the following notable peaks:
59.889221 -56.471920 (60 Hz supply)
179.667664 -59.216564 (60 Hz 3rd harmonic)
427.299500 -34.411224 (400 Hz supply)
852.580261 -29.227911 (400 Hz 2nd harmonic)
2561.105347 -34.153400 (400 Hz 6th harmonic)
Applying a noise reduction technique to remove these tones does a pretty reasonable job, but I don't hear any trace of the much vaunted "space music". I really don't think that it is present at any significant level.
sounds like the kind of noise you get when your receiver is just slightly off the frequency to hear something right. Shame they couldn't adjust their receiver to see if it could come in clearer, for safety reasons obviously they couldn't do that.
Intro: Was watching another video and came here to remind my self what the music sounded like, and noticed something about the host I wanted to complement. After being married for nearly 10 years I have been informed of the eternal female quest for the sharpest wings possible (make up), and noticed that the hosts wings were particularly sharp even on video. Well done ma'am you certainly could pierce concrete with but a wink. I will be referring the Mrs both for the interesting topic and to admire your razor sharp eye makeup.
i love that they're just playing catch
It just sounds like someone running a vacuum cleaner lol
I still dont understand qhy they called it music.
Yeah so the audio is not fitting what’s happening. The men are reviewing papers and not even acknowledging the comments about the music.
So there was a loud noise? Radio waves are in space. They were also less protected from electromagnetic waves from the sun. They dont seem concerned at all. I would pretty much expect weird sh** to happen in space.
They should have brought a joint. Can you imagine being in a capsule going around the moon and you're stoned? Intense.
Also, I'm pretty sure that he says "don't complain if you go hungry"? I don't know. That's what I hear at least.
I heard the broadcast on or just after they were discoverd. The noise wasnt played then,but the astronauts said it sounded like erie space music (tv show egs) That noise we heard on this clip wouldnt have been described like erie space/alien music. It sounds like a small drill or saw on. I think that buzzing sound was dubbed in for some odd reason. ,They would'nt be talking and acting as calm as they were with that noise. .
Some of my insulations is burned off. Is your insulation burned off? Ya! ALL of it! Please pass the grape juice.
Thanks. Heard about this in flagrant podcast.
This reminds me of the WOW SIGNAL unless its the same, can you tell the difference?
Yea I couldn't hear the music over the buzzing sound
Said the sound was over an hour long, so unlikely a 7 minute video covered it
it sounds like interferance from the antenna alignment motor
What's the noise they're talking about or music? I didn't hear any music...
