Actually, SCP-169 made that noise. Check it's wiki page.

Well, 169 is definitely bigger than a hundred Megalodons put together, and would definitely be louder than one for sure.

I like to believe that it was The Leviathan. A creature that massive would certainly rustle some jimmies and make the world a little less normal.

That's if it exists. But what I'm talkin' about is proof of an actual phenomena that is larger than a whale shark, the largest known living animal to date.

Well we've only explored about 5% of the worlds' oceans so far, so the chance of something absolutely MASSIVE lurking within them isn't that small.

True. True.
Which do you think has a higher possibility of existing? Personally, I would think Megalodon simply because SCP-169 seems a little too big to exist. But I could be wrong, esspecially if the government is covering it up.

Megalodon certainly wouldn't be big enough to make a sound like The Bloop.

Maybe. Then again, maybe not.
After some research, an average Megalodon (16m in length) would weigh about 48 metric tons. The largest megalodon (20.3m in length) would weigh about 103 metric tons. Taking this into consideration, you are correct. Megalodon is not large enough to make "The Bloop".

I'm back with more information

To put in perspective of how loud the bloop actually was:
A space shuttle launch reaches 170 dB
Up close, a blue whale’s loudest sounds at 188 dB can liquify the human brain
The Bloop has been estimated at 246 dB!

With that info, I seriously doubt the bloop was an iceberg(Though I don't know how loud an iceberg calving could be, but that loud? That seems a bit over-the-top.).
