The Sun does indeed generate sound, in the form of pressure waves. These are produced by huge pockets of hot gas that rise from deep within the Sun, travelling at hundreds of thousands of miles per hour to eventually break through the solar surface.
The sound of the sun was considered by most ancient religions as the most sacred sound of the universe. It is a sound that cannot be heard by the human ear, because the human ear only hears between 20-20,000 Hertz. The sound of the sun is much lower in frequency and also much higher in frequency than we can hear.
By DeForest's calculations, according to Astronomy, the Sun would sound like "10,000 Earths covered in police sirens, all screaming.” After traveling 92 million miles from the Sun to Earth, he believes, the sound would fall to about 100 decibels, like a constant rock concert.
The enormity of the sun's surface paired with its capability of generating of tens of thousands of watts of sound energy per meter makes the sun astronomically loud.
But if we could hear the constant roar, it'd be pretty loud, even from here. One heliophysicist crunched the numbers and estimates the noise would be around 110 decibels, or about the same volume as speakers at a rock concert.
Interestingly, the sound of the Sun is extremely loud. The sound that reaches the Earth from the Sun has been calculated to be around 100 decibels by the time it reaches the Earth as per data from American Academy of Audiology.
but the loudest sound in the universe. is actually from the merger or collision. of 2 black holes. in what you're about to hear, scientists converted the gravitational waves. of 2 black holes, both 30 times the size of the sun, and converted them into sound waves.

But if we could hear the constant roar, it'd be pretty loud, even from here. One heliophysicist crunched the numbers and estimates the noise would be around 110 decibels, or about the same volume as speakers at a rock concert.
The entire Sun vibrates from a complex pattern of acoustical waves, much like a bell.
No, you cannot hear any sounds in near-empty regions of space. Sound travels through the vibration of atoms and molecules in a medium (such as air or water). In space, where there is no air, sound has no way to travel.
The Sun is a roiling ball of plasma and gas and if you could survive the temperatures within it, it would probably sound like a gigantic pot of boiling jam being hit by a nuclear bomb! The sound doesn't reach us across the vacuum of space, but there are slower waves that we can see moving on the surface.
The planetary sounds we hear, are wavelike vibrations of air molecules occurring within the range of frequencies to which our ears are sensitive, according to the BBC .
The sun emits electromagnetic radiation with frequencies from 1018 hertz (1 million million million waves per second) down to a sedate 104 hertz (10,000 waves per second). The sun spins on its axis about every 27 days.
As OM is the sound of the Universe, it's always present, so technically we can't chant it. We cannot create OM by a chanting of it; we only produce a vibration sympathetic with the vibration that is already there, which is OM.
Don't let the name fool you: a black hole is anything but empty space. Rather, it is a great amount of matter packed into a very small area - think of a star ten times more massive than the Sun squeezed into a sphere approximately the diameter of New York City.
The viral audio, to be clear, is not a recording: it has been produced by 'sonifying' data taken from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory (another space telescope). The audio produced was originally 57 octaves below middle C, which meant the frequency had to be raised 'quadrillions' of times to be heard by human ears.
Converting the energy of 1,100 decibels to mass yields 1.113x1080 kg, meaning that the radius of the resulting black hole's event horizon would exceed the diameter of the known universe. Voila! No more universe.
In 2004, Guinness World Records certified the anechoic chamber at Orfield Laboratories as the quietest place on Earth, with an ambient sound level of –9.4 decibels A-weighted.
A whisper is between 20-30 dB. On the other hand, a human scream can reach decibel levels between 80 and 125 dB.
The sun would be absolutely deafening. This is because the sun, though it may look smooth and calm from Earth, is actually a maelstrom of superheated plasma. The nuclear reactions that power a star cause massive convection cells of superheated gas to rise and fall constantly across its surface.
With the exception of thunderstorms, rainfall typically measures around 50 dBA. In addition, rain emits a sound that is similar to white noise, which is a sound that covers all frequencies that a perfectly healthy human ear can detect.
These speakers, driven by pressurised nitrogen gas, can saturate the room with 163 dB of continuous noise for up to 10 minutes. The biggest speakers generate a tone at 25 Hz, which is just above the lowest note humans can hear, while the smaller speakers go as high as 250 Hz.
