NASA reveals creepy sound of a black hole 200M light-years away

By Samantha Ibrahim

In space, no one can hear you scream — but they may be able to hear a black hole.

NASA’s Exoplanets Twitter account unveiled audio where listeners can hear what a black hole from 200 million light-years away sounds like to the human ear.

The space agency also used the tweet to address the widely misunderstood notion that there is no sound among the stars.

“The misconception that there is no sound in space originates because most space is a vacuum, providing no way for sound waves to travel,” they wrote.

It sounds like the I-93 at about 3:03am when there are only trucks, drunks and lost souls on the road.
"If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people."    -Calvin Coolidge

Listen to the sound from the NASA snippet above.

Then listen to this, from Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey", from around 54 years ago:
