The science-minded professionals at SPACE.com reported this morning on a recently discovered and possibly dangerous phenomenon. According to the article:

  • Earth emits an ear-piercing series of chirps and whistles that could be heard by any aliens who might be listening, astronomers have discovered.
  • The sound is awful, a new recording from space reveals.
  • "We can now determine exactly where the emission is coming from," said Robert Mutel, a University of Iowa researcher involved in the work.

Unbelievably, Mr. Mutel was able to pinpoint the source of the "ear-piercing series of chirps and whistles" to this very post. If you'd like to hear an audio recording of the pain-inducing emission for yourself, click on the "keep reading" tab now.
