JAKARTA - United States authorities confirmed a voice from underwater at Titan's submersible search site that was heading for the ruins of the ship, saying the sound sounded regularly at a certain interval.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's internal memo, which reportedly said underwater sounds could be heard for hours, as quoted by the BBC on June 21.

The sound was first detected by Canadian P-8 aircraft. After that, additional sonar was deployed to the area four hours later, with the sound still heard.

"An additional acoustic feedback is heard and will help in vectoring surface assets and also indicate hope for survivors," the second memo said according to a CNN report.

The underwater voice was reported by Rolling Stone and CNN to be heard in an interval of 30 minutes.

"P8 hears a bang in the area every 30 minutes," he wrote, referring to the Ministry of Homeland Security memo.

Canadian P-3 aircraft detected underwater noises in the search area. As a result, ROV operations were relocated in an attempt to explore the origin of the noises. Those ROV searches have yielded negative results but continue. 1/2

Meanwhile, the US Coast Guard confirmed a Canadian search plane had detected "underwater voices" in the search area.

"The Canadian P-3 aircraft (media reported it as P-8, ed) detected sound in the search area. To explore the origin of the sound, vehicles operated remotely (ROVs) were moved, but have not provided positive results," the US Coast Guard's Northeastern Command wrote on Twitter.

As previously reported, the US Coast Guard said on Twitter, a surface ship, Polar Prince, had lost Titan which it launched about an hour and 45 minutes after starting a dive towards the location of the ruins on Sunday morning.

It is known that the ruins of palpitations, the British ship that crashed into an iceberg and sank on its maiden voyage in April 1912, are located about 900 miles (1,450 km) east of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and 400 miles (644 km) south of St. Louis. John's, Newfoundland.

Authorities have not confirmed the identities of those inside Titan. However, a number of reports mention the names of British billionaire Hamish Harding and Pakistani-born businessman Shahzada Dawood with his son Suleman, both British nationals.

French rover Paul-Henri Nargeolet and Stockton Rush, founder and CEO of OceanGate Expeditions, are also reported to have participated.
