In Tampa Bay, there's been this mysterious bass sound that people have been hearing since 2021. No one knows where it's coming from, but a scientist named James Locascio thinks it might be mating fish, specifically black drum fish.
These fish make throbbing sounds during their mating season. The sound can travel pretty far, up to a mile away from the water. A local resident named Sara Healy listened to a recording of the fish sounds and thinks Locascio might be right.
She's even trying to raise money to install underwater recorders to confirm it. Pretty interesting, right?
