The MH370 mystery could finally be solved by one chilling sound as experts say they want a new search.

It has been more than 10 years since Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared from radar screens and seemingly off the face of the Earth on March 8, 2014. The fate of the Boeing 777-200ER carrying 239 passengers and crew from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, remains a perplexing mystery.

Having sent no emergency distress calls, the aircraft was never heard from again. Shocking evidence found that the aircraft had turned off its scheduled flight path and continued flying on for a further seven hours.

And its disappearance sparked one of the biggest searches in aviation history to recover the wreckage of the jet.

Now an underwater robotics company says that it has submitted a proposal to the Malaysian government to search for the plane.

Ocean Infinity revealed to The Sun that they had recently submitted a new search proposal to the Malaysian Government to hunt for the jet.

If the plans from Ocean Infinity are agreed, it could mean the work could begin in November this year and take three months to complete, according to reports.

Dr. Usama Kadri, a maths and engineering professor at Cardiff University, told The Sun that underwater microphones, called hydrophones, might be crucial in locating the lost jet's final location.

In a study examining extensive hydrophone data from past ocean plane crashes, the researcher suspects that one haunting noise might be the final sign of MH370.

Usama says the only way to be certain is to run an experiment that mimics how the crash affects the ocean's surface, as the official story suggested.

In an exclusive chat with the paper he said the experiment's outcome would finally take us one step closer to the truth.

He describes the sound as more of a chilling feeling that travels through your body - he says to imagine a very deep organ sound but with an even lower frequency.

Hydrophones can sense sounds in the ocean from any direction. There are 11 stations established globally to keep an eye on submarines, marine creatures, and underwater earthquakes and volcanoes.

Talking about the study previously, Dr Kadri said: A 200-tonne aircraft crashing at a speed of 200 metres per second would release the kinetic energy equivalent to a small earthquake.

"It would be large enough to be recorded by hydrophones thousands of kilometres away.

The professor has proposed a series of controlled underwater explosions or airgun fire along where the aircraft was believed to have ended up (Seventh Arc) to see whether they can isolate a more precise location for MH370.

According to Dr. Kadri, if the official account indicates that the plane went down in a specific area and time with a violent crash, it is possible to recreate that impact and examine the signals.

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said that his country would be ready to revisit the investigation into the flight's disappearance, if compelling new evidence comes to light.

Dr Kadri confirmed that he had been approached by someone working with Ocean Infinity as well as the Malaysian Government.

He says a study by the Malaysian government using the countrys navy and resources would take just weeks.

While a longer in-depth study using a research ship could take years.
