Default Black Hole Sound Waves

nightbat wrote

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.

Hi Nightbat Your black comet must make a whistling sound. NASA must
have been reading about vibrating strings. Your poetic brain sees
trumpets in heavan. I always thought the harp was the instrument of
angels. Bert

Could it be those lonely BHs calling out to each other
across the cosmic expanse of space-time? Perhaps we should
be analyzing those sound waves for information content! SETI
workers, stand alerted! Someone out there _has_ been trying
to communicate all along--The Great Silence has been an
illusion all along, and the
Fermi Paradox is finally explained. ...tonyC

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?

Try a web search under 'black hole ringdown' and 'binary black hole
merger'. There are some neat audio simulations of post-merger
convolutions that'd be heard as gravity-wave emissions. oc
