Canada military probes mysterious Arctic pinging noise

[MrVisible]

The pinging noise is reported by locals to have reverberated around Fury and Hecla Strait in a remote part of northern Canada.

The Canadian military has investigated a mysterious pinging sound coming from the sea floor in a remote region of the Arctic, officials have told the BBC.

The strange noise is reported by local people to have frightened animals away over the past few months.

Any ideas?

What is that mysterious 'pinging sound' coming from the Arctic sea floor?

And here's an article from The Guardian to make up for it:

I shared this on my FB page a few days ago.

Suggestions included the Yellow Submarine, Captain Nemo, the Seaview, and either Russian or American submarines---but not Canadian subs, because none of ours work. All these ideas seemed about equally plausible to me. No-one mentioned methane seeps, though. Does methane ping or hum, perhaps? Maybe if it's squeeeeeezing through a little crack, like wind through the stretched neck of a balloon?

Perhaps a new research study is in order.

I think it's the Trump campaign searching for clues. Any clues. I base this on the fact that all sensible animals have fled the area in fear of getting shot. On the other hand, it might be the Clinton campaign searching for proofs. Any proofs. I base this on the fact that all sensible animals have fled the area in fear of being interrogated.
