Who would have imagined that some online users would find NASA's most recent black hole remix near a galaxy disturbing?
The sound made by a black hole was recorded by NASA's Exoplanet Exploration Program, according to a Science Times piece from earlier this week.
The Perseus galaxy cluster, which has a huge gas volume and is close to the black hole, made it possible for researchers to record the sound of the black hole.
Since they learned that the black hole's pressure waves caused ripples in the cluster's hot gas, astronomers have long connected this area with noises.
NASA Captures Sound of a Black Hole
Releasing an audio remix of what a black hole sounds like, NASA's Exoplanets Twitter account referred to the Perseus galaxy cluster, which the organization has recently researched.
The tweet claimed that, contrary to past research, black holes are not absolutely silent despite being enormous vacuums that can absorb anything, even light.
The misconception that there is no sound in space originates because most space is a ~vacuum, providing no way for sound waves to travel.

However, due to the abundance of gas in the vicinity of the Perseus galaxy cluster, the sound was picked up, recorded, and is now accessible as black hole audio.
According to NASA, this suggests that humans cannot hear around 57 octaves below middle C.
But because of NASA's sonification remix, which adds extra notes to the black hole sound generator, this is now achievable.

Black Hole Sound Scares Netizens
The sounds that are heard on NASA's output are unsettling and menacing, and they may keep some individuals up at night.
NASA has boosted the eerie sounds that black holes naturally make so that the general public can hear and distinguish them as coming from the space phenomenon.
Now to the 30-second clip sent on Twitter, which is suitable for use as the background music for a ghost movie.
Many Twitter users concurred, and despite more than 462,000 likes and 113,000 retweets, it doesn't appear probable that this film inspired any future planetary explorers.
The remix's concept is intriguing, but when Twitter users heard the music, they were alarmed. Some referenced the remix of the sound of hell's tortured souls.

"That scene in the movie when someone accidentally stumbles upon some sort of satanic cult in the middle of the woods," another Twitter user wrote.
Another user noted that "space is haunted," referring to a viral tweet about astronauts needing guns on the moon.
Others, though, believed that many people were interpreting it too broadly.
Others did what people on the internet do best.
The sound was improved much further by user @plainviewpar using "alternative processing."
They noticed that the black hole produces a distinct sound by magnifying, correcting, and blending with other data.
