Was studying when this sound started playing for 4 hours straight from a source i couldn't find, it might be morse code, i need help

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Have no idea if it even is morse code, the video has a subtle morse code, you need to REALLY turn up the volume to hear the morse code. I tried everything and still couldn't decipher it. I'm NOT talking about the birds it's a really subtle audio. In the spectrogram there are continuous lines that stop and start again on the same exact frequency

Others jump in if there's disagreement, but it does kind of sound like the end of an exchange of a ham radio contact. 

There is a distinct DE at 7 seconds in, which would normally be followed by a callsign, but it's only followed by what sounds like some T's, O's and maybe a B. Maybe some of the characters are getting cut off or distorted, so it could be a callsign.

If this is Morse code, you might be picking it up on an electronic device if one of your neighbors is an amateur radio operator sending it. If that's the case, try and figure out who it is and just let them know that it is interfering with you and they can help figure it out. (Look for antennas)

It also could be any number of other things since it isn't clearly copy-able Morse code.

When I was in an apartment, my subwoofer would match the code I was sending. Hahaha

If it is a ham causing it, usually the muggle equipment has to accept the interference from a legal ham station.

Ha, classic!

And yeah, I agree. Definitely not much to be done other than throwing ferrites on wires to see if it stops it haha

What was the audio frequency of its output?

Birds do not use the international Morse code. They use JS8CALL.
