The sound waves were discovered in 2003, when, after 53 hours of observation, researchers with NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory “discovered that pressure waves sent out by the black hole caused ripples in the cluster's hot gas that could be translated into a note.”

Sounds like my stomach at 5 in the morning.

How eerie just sends chills up and Down my spine I thought That haunted houses were eerie but a black hole is far worse than I could image!! Would a Supermassive Black Hole sound just like this one? Where was this black hole found? WOW!!!

[Jeff-pdon]

It's crazy to think that this isn't sound like we would think of, but the audio representation of a black hole literally bending and squeezing time and space around it.

It's the sound of 🕉️🕉️🕉️🕉️ that's echoing all over the universe

[theWarVet]

Sounds amazing but what data set did they use reproduce this? If light can’t escape how do sounds..

[Sarcastic_Asmodeus]

Media is slow. They released the sounds months ago.

[jonahhunt-bntr]

this sounds like voices all calling for something like moaning or whaling

[edwardroche]

That's where they send you if you're a bad human being. Or bad at being human.

[reykokenosha]

Can someone explain how they know how it sounds I thought sound can't travel through space

[maneeshrao]

What is weird is that sound can’t be heard through space because there is no air for it to move through
