The Bloop is the name given to an ultra-low frequency and extremely powerful underwater sound detected by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in 1997.
The source of the sound remains unknown.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloop
Some of these sounds, are just kind of weird.

Anyone know of any more? Theories on what the could be?

That aside I think it's highly unlikely to be an animal.
Is the general location of the bloop sound, so not possible it was machinery.
Also, the following pic came up when I was searching for that one. Just thought I'd share it with you guys.
Why, is that particular spot the machine Forbidden Zone?
What are your suggested alternatives?
I have no clue, but if I had to guess, based on all the evidence, I would say some sea creature that has yet to be discovered. Or a creature we know of, but not well enough to know it can do something like that.
If it's bigger than a Blue Whale, which is what I gather has been suggested, than the biomass required to support it would be huge. I suspect that would mean they would have to come up to the (near) surface, in which case I'd ask why the Japanese haven't eaten any of them yet.
As for it being a known creature... maybe this is the first time anyone's recorded a Blue Whale screaming after getting its dick trapped in a boat's propeller, hence the loudness. Apart from that I don't know...
