A strange, unearthly “shriek” greeted NASA’s Voyager I spacecraft as it became the first man-made object to enter interstellar space.
A strange rising “howl” was detected by instruments aboard the 36-year-old probe, which has travelled 12 billion miles away from our sun.
The sound was transmitted back to scientists on Earth, over a distance so vast radio waves take 17 hours to reach us. Science site iO9 described the sounds as “creepy” and “wraithlike”.

It took that long for news of Obama’s election to reach the spacecraft.

Reminds me of the “sferics” you can hear just below the longwave band on a radio.

NASA has many recording of ‘sounds from space and Earth’. The universe is not quiet.
