'Heartbreaking' Titan sub ‘cracking’ audio has been released and people are seriously disturbed

It comes as people are finally getting to watch Netflix's new documentary - Titan: The Oceangate Submersible Disaster

Never-before-seen footage and audio from inside the doomed Titan submersible has left viewers ‘traumatised’ and ‘creeped out’.

The reactions are coming from people who are making their way through Netflix’s new documentary, Titan: The Oceangate Submersible Disaster, which looks into what caused the tragic accident.

For those not up to speed, the OceanGate Titan sub imploded during a voyage to the wreckage of the Titanic back in 2023, killing all five passengers.

The tourism and exploration firm's CEO and co-founder Stockton Rush who led the fatal mission, promised four other crew members views of the most famous shipwreck in history.

But as we know, it tragically didn’t go to plan, and the Titan lost contact with its mothership about 435 miles (700km) south of Newfoundland, Canada.

The world closely followed the story for days as a race-against time rescue mission began.

However, on June 22, the US Coast Guard announced that the submersible had 'catastrophically imploded', after debris was discovered near the wreck of the Titanic, 12,500ft below the surface, with everyone on board having been killed immediately.

Despite people being fascinated with the tragic story, one particular aspect of the new documentary has left them horrified.

At various different points during the programme that show footage from inside the Titan, you can hear eerily loud ‘popping noises’.

In one particular scene, Rush himself seemed taken aback by them as he took the submersible underwater for a test run.

He commented on the loud noises, exclaiming: “That gets your attention.”

Fans have rushed to social media to comment on the cracking and popping noises, which were explained in the Netflix series to be tiny fibres snapping when the sub was under great pressure.

It comes after the decision was made by Rush to build the submersible with a carbon fibre hull, which is a cheaper material than alternatives.

The ‘popping’ sounds happen when the sub is under great pressure and was made due to tiny minuscule fibres snapping.

One X user wrote: “Watching the Titan submersible doc on Netflix rn and got traumatized when they played the constant pops the passengers heard whenever the carbon fibre snapped…”

A second quipped: “The popping noises of the titan are so upsetting. I would never get in a submersible, but especially not one that sounded like goddamn Rice Krispies as it descended.”

Meanwhile, a third added: “The deeper that Titan Sub went the more it sounded like a bag of popcorn in the microwave. Hell f***** no.”

Another social media user wrote: “Every time I hear those popping noises, my skin crawls. #TitanTheOceanGateDisaster,” to which someone replied “That was one of the things that's stuck with me. Absolutely creeps me out."

“I’m sorry but this Titan Documentary is WILD cause f*** nooooo I hear one pop and I’m screaming until they lift that sh** back up then quitting my job immediately #TitanNetflix,” added another viewer.

Someone else added: “The popping of the hull was like fireworks…NO TAKE ME UP NOW! #TitanTheOceanGateDisaster”

And another Netflix viewer wrote that they will never recover from hearing the popping and cracking sounds in the Titan test dives.'
