This is what a black hole in space sounds like

NASA has produced a new sonification -translation of astronomical data into sound- of the characteristic black hole at the center of the Perseus cluster of galaxies. This black hole has been associated with sound since 2003 when astronomers discovered that the pressure waves it emitted caused ripples in the hot gas of the cluster that could be translated into a note, one that humans cannot hear, some 57 octaves below middle C.

In some ways, the new sonification is different from anything done before because revisit real sound waves discovered in data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. According to NASA in a statement, the popular misconception that there is no sound in space it stems from the fact that most of space is essentially a vacuum, providing no medium for sound waves to propagate.

A galaxy cluster, on the other hand, has copious amounts of gas that engulf the hundreds or even thousands of galaxies within it, providing a medium for sound waves to travel. In this new sonification of Perseus, sound waves previously identified by astronomers were extracted and audible for the first time. The sound waves were drawn in radial directions, that is, away from the center. The signals were then resynthesized to the range of human hearing by boosting them 57 and 58 octaves above their actual pitch.

Another way of expressing this is that they listen 144 quadrillion and 288 quadrillion times more than its original frequency. Radar-like scanning around the image allows you to hear waves emitted in different directions. In the visual image of these data, both blue and purple show X-ray data captured by Chandra.
