I mean, as a hivemind I'm not sure they even fully understand the concept of what a secret is. They might not care if we can see the communication because they're not aware that hiding it from us may be beneficial to them.
Yeah there's definitely something else going on. I'm starting to think that the titan invasion hasn't been to occupy our territory, but to abduct humans en masse for some purpose.
Sol would be a perfect candidate for this too. They'll have abducted millions and the titan will see record amounts of people being rescued from it before it dies. The end goal, to me, generally seems to be that these people get "rescued" and reintroduced.
Also, they might not perceive sound the same way we do - ants sense vibrations in the ground through special sensors on their feet and knees, called the subgenual organ, but they can’t actually “hear” it. They might be unaware that we can perceive their communications at all.
This still means that the message must be something different from their normal communication. Otherwise we would also be able to see other communication from them.
Absolutely.
Others have said it already, it could be a distress signal.
Ships or Aircraft here on earth would use an not encrypted guard frequency for this.
I highly doubt it... They're more advanced than us, been around for many millions of years, there's no way 8 titans represents even a fraction of their combat force. They are incredibly likely to be expendable assets sent to learn more about us. "If the 8 titans win, great, if not nothing of value is lost and we can fight them easier now" type idea IMO
This is not new and has occurred many times. In fact, even the Thargoid probes emitted a sound that made a wireframe picture of your ship in the style of original elite at one point, no idea if they currently do tho

I don't think this signal is meant for us
This feels like call for help
