Found strange Morse Code? Anyone know what it is?

[Sililos]

In the Frozen North DLC in the western most point of the new region theres a valley that doesnt appear to have any markers in it.

As i was progressing up there to explore i started to hear a strange, rapid chiming sound like Morse Code.
I carried on up the valley which has lots of climb spots and some log crossings to reach the top, found a lake there but nothing else, at the Easter edge of the lake is a waterfall totally frozen, if you are at the base or middle of the waterfall and face it, you hear the Morse Code pinging from inside it (But not if you turn your camera away).

I couldnt find any info anywhere on this, heres hoping someone here (Or the devs?) can fill me in on whats up please?

Heres the exact map location:

*Edit* Uploaded a short video of it in action: https://youtu.be/soOxu49aBPo

*Edit 2* Correction: It happens at every waterfall in that valley.
If you bring up Steam Overlay on it (Shift+Tab overlay) the sounds such as hail and the ice straining pings keep going by the Morse Code sound stops. Closing overlay brings the sound back.

Those sound similar like mines. Not sure what it is, but there will be a side mission there, if I remember correctly.

Is this the mission where you go into that bunker for the "birds" (which are really drones)? If so, that chiming noise is, without spoling you overly much, a warning. Exercise caution when you leave that hangar.

As for the tones at that waterfall specifically, try slowing down the audio on playback and see if you pick out the short and long tones.

Then transcribe them with . for a short and _ for a long.

Check a Morse code handbook (you can find one online) and see if it makes any sense. Aloy's Focus *is* sensitive to things most other people in the 'verse of this game cannot sense, so it couild be an in-game Easter Egg.

OK, so, I have the following hypothesis:

That particular dead-end canyon is on the opposite side of the mountain that has massive story relevance. Since the sounds are more prevalent on the south-west wall of that canyon than on the north-east side, I believe that this is mean to be the buzzing of electronic devices inside the mountain, inside the bunker.

I'll need to check the overall game map to see how close this hypothesis is, but one piece of indirect evidence is that you can get to the Cut from Oseram lands, which in turn are not that far as game distance goes from that rather important mountain.

I did check it - it's literally the other side of the mountain:

Excellent. :D

I admit i did think it had something to do with Gaia Prime, however, wouldn't we hear it in more places around the area other than JUST the waterfalls?
Theres a waterfall on the opposite side of the valley from Gaias mountain where you hear it as well So i dont think thats it.

As an aside, that valley you were in *is* used in one side mission that appears fairly late in the Frozen Wilds quest progression.
