Honestly, guys, I think we might be looking a little too hard at the trailer. Yes, there is a cuckoo clock noise. Yes, most movies blend tons of "everyday" noises together to make novel noises, and you can hear them if you listen carefully.

The main function of the trailer is to get you interested in the viral campaign. There may be a hint or two (slusho shirt anyone?) But this early in the game, I think "CLUES!" will be fairly apparent, leading to actual puzzles.

Its tough, but... patience is good, here.

I personally think we are over analyzing the Cuckoo clock sound. Maybe they just pt it in to mess with us, seems like the kind of thing Abrams would do, no?

[hello moto]

it was only a matter of time before someone found the sound. remember jj is smart with this viral campaignig but he wants to keep the movie as secret as possible so im sure he is throwing out many clues and leads but very few of them are actually real or will have a connection about the movie just to keep you hooked

I think we're looking too far into it as well.
For all we know, it could be the camera-holder's watch going off as an alarm. The camera would pick it up and it might even have precedence over the SoL head, seeing as how it would be closer to the microphone.

someone go to MySpace and ask Hud if he's got a cuckoo watch... lol

Why i know it's a clue:
J.JAbrams knew that we would be looking for clues in this trailer, both audio and visual. If he knew this, then he wouldn't put in any weird sounds to throw us off, that would just be cruel.

well thats business the person doesnt care as long it profits himself

After spending maybe an hour yesterday evening listening to the trailer and reading through the 'Cuckoo' Thread, my girlfriend got tired of thinking up explanations for the sound and turned on the TV while I read on.

After watching for about 2 minutes, a news show came on, and its standard opening sequence (random news-of-the-world-ish clips) for some reason ended with a cuckoo-clock doing its thing and sounding exactly like an office building getting hit by the head of the SOL. After that, the first report started - with a close up of the SOL!!! I kid you not!

We both were completely speechless (and maybe a bit pale, too). This ARG stuff really gets to you after a while... I don't know what the report was about since my freaked out girlfriend switched channels, but I doubt it was about mystery-trailer developments on the internet. Since it was German TV, it was propably OOG

Just wanted to share a bizarre moment with you.
