Both the writer and the speaker discuss a mysterious sound which sailors of Russian submarines patrolling the North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean could hear between the 1960s and 1980s. The passage brings up three theories about the possible sources of this sound, while the talk casts doubt on them through citing several reasons.
First, according to the passage, it is proposed that some Orcas whales contributed to these sound on account of the fact that the submarines were in their habitat, and also the female whales transmitted this sound to attract males. Unlike the writer, the speaker asserts that it is true that the Russian submarines were in whales' habitat, but the Orcas whales lived near the surface, while the submarines were in deep. Therefore, they could not detect the Orcas whales' sounds.
Second, the author goes on to mention that giant squids which lived deep in the ocean were the possible cause of the sound in view of the fact that their body lacked skeleton. Hence, they could not be detected by sonar system. Nonetheless, the professor supports a contradictory view as compared to that presented in the reading. He points out that although the giant squid's scenario is plausible, the submarines suddenly could not detect the sound in the 1990s, whereas the giant squids have lived in the zone for many years.
Finally, the passage posits that the sound was caused by some other submarines that were not registered to the Russian sonar system on the grounds that the technology those submarines used was so high that the Russian submarines were not able to detect them. On the other hand, the lecturer flatly denies this, stating that the source of the sound moved swiftly. Thus, it could not be made by a submarine because still countries are not capable of making such a fast and silent submarine.
In conclusion, the main topic of the discussion is about an odd sound heard by sailors in Russian submarines during the 1960s and 1980s. The reading suggests several reasons for this sound, whereas the lecture categorically denies them by giving some evidence.
