So far the best answer seems to be the Wendigo. And I've gotta' say that the guy really gets around ... he's pretty much a globetrotter.
I am surprised by the overall lack of coverage about this story in the media.
What puzzles me is - if these sounds are a known phenomenon near the Arctic Circle, then why hasn't someone provided more info. Surely the Intuit people must have a name and a tradition for this sort of thing. And if these sounds are abnormal ... why are they happening now??
"I don't know about the Intuit people, but the Inuit will probably blame my Newfie relatives and their baked beans.
No problem. I will list your relatives and the baked beans as a possible cause.
I've also had "The Return of Jimi Hendrix" as a possible cause. Apparently someone experienced unusual sounds and colors while attending an old Hendrix concert. I wonder why that was?? Hahahaa!
On the slightly more serious side ... these sounds up in Canada are actually so loud in places that some people are being woken up by them in the middle of the night. Weird stuff.

The Inuit have no history of this because it didn't happen. It is primarily happening now (if it is) due to our modern conductive apparatus that could be excited by the changing magnetic field.
I have seen lots of aurora, near both poles, even in built up areas and never heard anything.
I didn't listen to the whole YouTube. Mos of the sounds I've seen reported seem to be affiliated with northern latitudes.
Is this whole thing an Internet hoax ... it could be. I can't rule that out. Or maybe the result of too many Canadians drinking too many Molson's. Hahaha !!!
