Stardew Valley is famous for many things: It is a great simulation game that is both calming and addictive. However, it is also renowned for a very unique reason, that is, bizarre sounds. We know that you may be very confused about them — so we will explain all these weird noises in Stardew Valley in this article.
Before delving into the specifics, remember to familiarise yourself with how to check the date and season in Stardew Valley. Knowing this can significantly enhance your gameplay. Additionally, locating Robin is key to swiftly upgrading your farm.
A Strange Sound Was Heard in the Night…
The “A strange sound was heard in the night…” message is actually related to the Strange Capsule event. It’s one of the mysteries of Stardew Valley — so, let’s explore it in a more detailed way.
This message can be unlocked if you find the Strange Capsule on your farm, which is a blue cylinder that is said to have something living in it. If you leave this capsule out in the open for three days, out of your inventory, whatever is inside of it is going to escape by breaking the glass.
The “A strange sound was heard in the night…” message will pop up during the glass shattering. This sound is one of the weird noises in Stardew Valley. And it means the completion of the Strange Capsule event.
What exactly is inside the capsule, then? The answer is an Alien. Though you have no way to interact with the Alien, you can still see it roaming around, especially at night. If you see a weird, black, shadowy thing, then you may be sure that it is this Alien.
An Explosion Was Heard in the Night…
One of the weird noises in Stardew Valley is the explosion that you may hear during the night. If so, you will also get the “An explosion was heard in the night…” message. This means that a meteorite hit your farm. You can leave your house and check it out.
The meteorite cannot despawn on its own — you must mine it. Before going out, don’t forget the save your game. After that, you will need a Gold Pickaxe or better to do that. Furthermore, you are required to have a 3×3 area with a 2×2 empty area (No water, objects, or animals). This is the only condition for the meteorite to hit your farm.
Weird Noises in Stardew Valley: The Sound When It Rains
You can also hear weird noises in Stardew Valley when it rains, especially during thunderstorms. This sound might remind you of a howl or a moan. Some people also describe it as a wailing. Though there is no official explanation as to what these weird noises in Stardew Valley mean, people have theories.
One of these theories is that these odd sounds may be the croaks of frogs. But some argue that such noise cannot come out of a small creature. So, the sound might belong to the whales as they sing in the ocean.
The Wizard M. Rasmodius is also one of the popular theories, as he can only travel during rainy nights. It is said that the noise is his wailing. Marnie says that these noises might be coming from the Wizard’s Tower — however, players seem to argue that the noise gets further away when you move towards the tower.
Another popular theory is that they belong to ghosts who like to roam outside of your vision. This is also very fitting due to the mystical nature of Stardew Valley. Aliens, ghosts, wizards… This game is indeed very different from a regular farming sim!
