You have to understand what ‘sound’ is- it is pressure waves at different frequencies.

If you were in space and banged two rocks together you would not hear a thing, because there is no atmoshpere to convey the pressure waves.

Ten four. I dig it. But as I said in my concession reply. I’m not talking about out in the vacuum of space. I’ve said from the get-go, down at the “surface” of the planet the din is horrendous. The inner “edge” of the rings is only a few meters from the “surface” and according to NASA the atmosphere extends out to thousands of kilometers. Don’t tell me there’s silence down near the planet. There’s one helluva racket going on down there.
Blessings.
