Scientists from the US NASA managed to record the sound of a black hole in the center of the Perseus galaxy cluster, more than 200 million light-years from Earth, recorded by the Chandra X-ray Observatory, to sound similar to music clips.
The sound waves were recorded in a NASA space telescope, in the form of astronomical data, and then translated into sound that humans can hear.
There is a “common misconception” that there is “sound in space” due to the loss of the medium of transmission of sound waves.

Astronomers at the space agency realized that the hot gas covering Perseus is a bundle of galaxies 11 million light-years wide, which can be translated into sound.
This gas, which surrounds hundreds and even thousands of galaxies, provides a medium through which sound waves travel.
The soundtrack was created by recombining the sound waves of the human auditory range, raising the volume “57 or 58 octavas” above the actual pitch.
