NASA shares terrifying audio of what inside of a black hole 'sounds like'

NASA has shared audio captured from inside a black hole - and it sounds like something ripped straight out of a science-fiction movie.

When you think about it, humanity truly lucked out developing on our wonderful, ozone layer-protected planet Earth.

This notion becomes even more apparent when you consider just how terrifying space can be, with black holes certainly being one of the creepier parts of the interstellar structure.

Our understanding of black holes is constantly evolving. Thanks to the hard work of scientists over at NASA, we learnt in 2019 that a black hole has the appearance of a pixelated glazed doughnut (no, we're not joking).

We also have a pretty good idea of the horrifying fate which awaits anyone who just so happens to find themselves falling into a black hole. But have you ever wondered what it sounds like inside one?

Thanks to NASA, we have an answer for that as well.

Back in 2022 astronomers were able to capture audio coming from a black hole in the Perseus cluster of galaxies, which is located around located 250 million light-years away from Earth.

Take a listen to the creepy clip below:

A lot of people will probably be familiar with the argument that because space is a vacuum it is impossible for their to be any sound.

However, this may be a bit of 'popular misconception' according to NASA.

"The misconception that there is no sound in space originates because most space is a vacuum, providing no way for sound waves to travel," the space agency said at the time, as per The Guardian.

However, when it came to the black hole in the Perseus galaxy, astronomers at NASA's Chandra X-ray observatory were able to record ripples from the hot gas surrounding the hole and translate it into audio which can be heard by humans.

"A galaxy cluster has so much gas that we've picked up actual sound," it added.

NASA has since been able to scale the sound upward by around '57 and 58 octaves above their true pitch' so we could listen to the sound of deep space.

The end result? An ominous groaning noise that sounds like thousands of trapped extraterrestrial souls yearning to be free of the black hole they've found themselves imprisoned in.

This definitely brings a whole new perspective to the relative safety of life on Earth.

Personally, I don't know what is worse, the creepy groaning noise emitted from black holes or the fact that falling into one would see you become subject to the unimaginable horrors of spaghetti-fication.
