Can you actually see in real-time the
motion of this sound?
I don't think so. The evidence that it's a
sound wave seems to be the geometry of the pattern itself.
Since there's no long-term observations to determine actual velocity of
the waves, the question remains open as to whether they're 'gravity
waves' propagating at c or sound waves in interstellar gas.
IF they are GWs, their chaotic pattern suggests a violent event in the
object's past. Possibly the merger of a binary BH pair and subsequent
ringdown to the now-quiescent state. oc
