Sound waves in space, hmmmm, thunder in the dark black
cosmos? Better not tell Enterprize or Archie, they might think they're
trumpets in the heavens or in parallel universes coming through. Archie
will claim his total universe atom is vibrating and Enterprize will
weave it into some more of his multiverse, star wars, or Peter Pan,
unknown never never land sounds, the final proof of second heaven.

NASA Science News for September 9, 2003

Astronomers using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory have detected, for the
first time, sound waves rumbling away from a supermassive black hole. The
"note," about 57 octaves lower than middle-C, is the deepest ever detected
from an object in our Universe.

Sounds like the "ringing" one could expect of a rigid dense body. But
then that's not what black holes are supposed to be like, is it?

No, the black hole cannot effect the outside world. Only the event
horizon can. But, if the event horizon vibrated... it might create
such waves.

Most likely though it is the trace of things just as they are entering
through the event horizon.
