This Is The Most Disturbing Signal EVER! 

I never imagined we’d hear an intercontinental baby monitor….

The first one wouldn't sound out of place at a rave. 😆

You know you've got a popular channel, when people go out of their way to get on your show.

Sounds like someones having a 8-Bit party!

1:03 pretty sure it’s an unpublished track from Kraftwerk 😉

That first digital code, could make for a pretty sick tune!!!

Using pro-Ukrainian messages would seem an excellent way of convincing people that "This numbers station is absolutely not Russian" under any circumstances ;) Also using a baby crying as a jammer for a voice signal actually makes sense - I believe we are generically tuned to react to a baby crying, so it would be very distracting!

The airwaves are a weird place to be sometimes

These Russians will try anything to get on the Ringway Manchester YT channel!! 😂😂

The crying baby reminds me of the CIA propaganda played over speakers mounted on helicopters during the Vietnam War, which featured a loop of a baby crying and the fast, frantic Vietnamese warning against the Viet Cong, or something to that effect. I imagine it would damn sure be creepy to listen to, especially at night in a jungle.

The crying baby jammer brings back memories of my ships open comms being jammed when I was in the Navy. We used an open net for anyone to tune into who needed help in the area, but it would always get jammed by adversaries or bored fishermen. Since we had to monitor the line, we would hear all sorts of jams from crying babies, music, screaming women, drunk singing and even sound effects from old Looney Tunes cartoons, that would go on for hours. It was a very interesting experience

That's R2D2 having some "personal time". 🤖

0:35 i managed to translate it "help me obi wan kenobi. your our only hope. "

If the ticking clock is a pirate, then it is a pretty serious operation. Heard every morning here in Southern Australia, often S7+ easily getting over OTHR interference. Whoever is doing it has a very decent station.

2:18 That's got to be a sound effect from Space Cadet pinball. I've played too much Space Cadet not to recognise it.

The crying baby sound was used by The East German Embassy London during the early 70's when making their nightime nuisance telephone calls.

It's amazzing how there's still new shortwave stations even in 2024. While us in the UK basically sleeps when it comes to anything radio. (except DAB it seems?)

Sounds like an Imperial droid communication signal. 🤪

Some strange signals on the air

If I had to listen to that crying baby signal for any length of time I would lose it...🤦‍♂️

Nothing beats Swedish Rhapsody

The buzzer, better answer the door 🚪 😅

I hear the crying baby and siren on CB Channel 38 LSB all the time lol.

The signal at 0:35 could be a test transmission for transatlantic financial data. There seem to be quite a few low data rate transmissions that are related to banks transmitting on RF to avoid the lag of internet traffic and thereby gaining a few milliseconds advantage. Once one starts they all have to try to keep up.

I listen to a lot of radio; I've had a VHF directional fitted on top of the house followed by a directional DAB. They can't be beaten, stereo FM, faultless, DAB no bubbling or cutting out. I'm not a wireless expert but I like listening to what I can hear.

3:38 "The time sponsored by Accurist, will be"... 😂

To me, that "crying baby" sounds a lot like one of those squeaky rubber chicken toys.

That first one would make a great sample for some intense EDM.

The crying baby has been in there on 27.3850 lsb for at least 2 months.Now i'm in baltimore and he comes in fairly regularly when conditions are good

Interesting channel! I've always had an interest in radios and frequencies, and you do a great job narrating and explaining things! I'll be subscribing to your channel! 👍

It sounds like Jack Douglas is sending morse.

Radio Trolls... very sneaksy and cagey.

That first one could be the legendary Leeds Warehouse techno combo known as LFO.

Another excellent job lewis awesome thanks

That first radio noise was from a dance club on Antares Prime.

Someone is using a old baby monitor

0:40 - thats R2D2 trying to talk to the borg collective

Robert De Niros brain when he hears the word trump?

That first signal is Scrillex after too many Garys.

A crazy idea for a numbers station. Back in the telegraph days, they had codes that used words to represent phrases. For example, here are a few from a 1910 code: Quadrants: At what price and how soon can you furnish Quadrate: Quote best price on Quandrange: In market for Quaffed: Will wire you tomorrow morning Quaggy: Have written In theory the subject matter of a numbers station is limited to things about the operation. It is a Domain Specific Language. You don't have to be able to convey messages like "Do you think 'War of the Worlds' was a better movie than 'Independence Day'?" So you take the phrases, place names, and maybe even letters of the alphabet, in case you need to occasionally spell something out, and you assign a bunch of words to each one. And you tag the words as to whether they can be used as nouns, verbs, adverbs, or adjectives. Then you have some sort of AI (not necessarily cutting-edge AI; something like the 1983 Ractor of the book "The policeman's beard is half-constructed" would do) generate sentences out of these words, and a text-to-speech generator read them over the air. Since there are many words that can mean each phrase, you would need a program to decode them, which would have to be well hidden, but the advantage if you are being clandestine is that if your neighbors hear it through the walls of your apartment, it will just sound like speech, and won't arouse the suspicions that someone saying "one six five three two" might.

Thank you for all you do. I find your videos informative and entertaining. Good job.

It sounds like sum one is trying to communicate with R2D2

Those signals sound too boring for pirates, but who knows?

Little Miss Marker, or the beginning of like a surgeon by Weird Al Yankovic.😊

some guys been locked in his attic trying to make "that track" since 1981. its just his old power supply brick giving off rf at roof level.

Stellar video. Had to comment and do my part !!!

4:15 this is a baby monitor or similar. Many old devices (including cordless phones) used CB bands back in the 70s and 80s. The frequency listed is 27.385 mhz, or CB channel 38.

I don't know if I'd call them pirates or "clandestines" like we called them in the 1980s. As to the Crying Baby.... with so many monitoring the Buzzer and others in the background, I imagine that not many people will keep the Crying Baby channel on for too long, and that might be part of the plan???

Pretty sure that first one was a new Daft Punk track.

That first one sounds like a Kraftwerk song!

01:00 crap there goes the neighborhood. That sounds like the Imperial probe from Hoth. Time to warm up the Ion Cannon.

Sounds like techno mixed with morse code on sound 1

the drop sound is like when you go through the grocery checkout and have your groceries scanned

Sure that first one isn't a pirate having a rave with a commodore 64? 😂

That baby monitor is sooo unnerving, but I'm pretty sure that's R2D2 having a seizure at the beginning of the video!

0:37 - I was wondering if the "data bursts" might be ultra-packed data overlaid with the signal???

My question about the baby crying signal is, could it be a mask? I mean, if it is the same sound except for different portions in certain spots, it could be used to transmit code. If you don't know the original baby crying sound, you technically would need to have multiple clear copies of the crying. The other side of this is babies crying would hit on the psychological side of anyone listening who doesn't know its purpose. Meaning they would be less likely to want to keep picking it up and copying it.

15744 kHz....ah yes, that is the new German Techno group Beepychirp! 🙂

Might have to dust off the SDR

I've heard that baby jammer too. Heard in PNW USA when coast to coast reception happening on that band.

That crying baby sounds eerily like the Israel 'crying drone' in Gaza. As well as the crying baby that was played through loudspeakers at the Columbia Uni in the US. Wild, might not be the same but it's very odd to me especially after the recordings were used in such a horrific way.

The 15KHz band is often used for eavesdropping. You might have potentially discovered a "data listener" planted on a computer or within the network stream. The sever is active when a terminal is being accessed, and there have been devices developed by "Agencies with international interests" to serve this purpose. Many years ago, the Russians were using polytones, and a raid done in East Germany had recovered special "decoders" that could receive and interpret these signals. The Russians still use polytones, as do a few others (Cuba/China/North Korea) and while slightly faster in their transmission speed and bandwidth, they still seem to follow the old classic beeps, boops, and pulses.

Love the channel, Lewis. The signal at the start has a short variable pitch noise which sounds similar to components of Australia's OTHR, JORN. Have a listen (other vids on youtube) and see what you think. 👍

The first one just needs a good "Donk!" on it mate.

Sounds like the intro for the Muppets - Dr' Bunsen Honeydew's scientific show.

Thanks RM. Time to go Band Scanning**** Take Care

Greetings from Sweden! Yet again, thank you. The Buzzer was weird again on sunday. That Digi-sound at the start is Kraftwerk the Model, pitched up and played backwards 1/4 then "upside down" 1/6 (they mirror the backwards so it's played "Back-fard-down"

The first one is definitely R2D2’s DJ job.

Thank you for sharing!

The buzzing on the ticking clock seems faster than the normal buzzer!!

its not a crying baby its one of those rubber chicken toys

lemme grab my SDR to try the "Crying Baby".... Ontario, rural.

The first sounds like an imperial probe droid doing a recon.

Those crying babies are the NATO general staff LOL

i wonder if you can hear am radio by putting your ear on a sheep that's sleeping on a big am antenna

Oh, so you recorded it? I accidentally connected my synthesizer to my amateur radio when I had a jam session in my basement. So calm down - what you're hearing is just the new soundtracks I made.

The pip sounds, sound like Car trackers in RF mode

Our neighbour's cordless phone IF caused the local amateur 144 repeater to broadcast the BBC. Thinking we had caught the pirate and the fox hunt kept pointing back to near my house? It only happened when he was on a long call. The distance was line of sight around 5km.

The crying baby sounds like a rubber chicken.

0:40 uses 3 distinct sounds - some kind of slow data transmission similar to Morse, perhaps.

In the first one you have tapped into the Willy Wonka feed.

Clearly Krafwerk's new tune

Some of these tones recorded remind me of the Cold War Carrier Wave that was put through the telephone lines in Britain as the nuclear attack warning network. It used the same line as the old speaking clock. We can only guess their real purpose over the airwaves but wonder if it has a similar use as the old Carrier wave. Great video.

Who in general uses shortwave radio now is it just enthusiast's? Why would anyone broadcast propaganda on shortwave? I'm not saying it's not happening I just don't get it.

thank you

That first digital code is R2D2 when he gets very excited.

That crying baby won't haunt my dreams for the rest of the week...😱💩 Good work as always 👏🏻

Yep, the first one inspires some fist pumping

It sounds like C3PO had some Meth.

Noises could be Russia & music a pirate station jamming Russia. The Buzzer here in the US have many pirates jamming it. The North American signal with baby crying on 27.385 is CB Radio Channel 38 on Lower Side Band & someone messing around on it & that isn't anything new. -Cheers!

I still miss the gong number station from the former DDR - GO3. That was on another level!

The first transmission may be from the HWU vlf transmitter in Rosnay, France.

Psyops nonsense from pirates and immature governments. But entertainment none the less.

That signal sounds kind of like Perry and Kingsley with their moog.

If they are jamming signals….what are they jamming? And who the hell is using SW, military or civilian….in 2024? What purpose is there in broadcasting propaganda on SW when there’s only handful of people with specific setup actually listening? I’m sure military have moved on as well. How high does the SW range go, GHz?

Someone's baby monitor is a bit overpowered 😂

Its all rupie murdoch. If he can't have it no one else will either.

0:39 sounds like a robot from The Jetsons. "Uniblab! Calculate the next time I get a raise." 0:39 ... "Working.. Outlook not good."

You are bound to find ocean fishing long line beacon buoys. Normally they are morse code but not wanting others to get their long lines anything works. Then there are stream monitors and other functions. Even ocean wave height monitors too.

The 1st one is obviously an imperial probe droid.
