> The misconception that there is no sound in space originates because most space is a ~vacuum, providing no way for sound waves to travel. A galaxy cluster has so much gas that we've picked up actual sound. Here it's amplified, and mixed with other data, to hear a black hole!

> In a recent publication they show that in some cases a sound wave can jump or "tunnel" fully across a vacuum gap between two solids if the materials in question are piezoelectric.

Helmholtz resonance

> Helmholtz resonance is one of the principles behind the way piezoelectric buzzers work: a piezoelectric disc acts as the excitation source, but it relies on the acoustic cavity resonance to produce an audible sound.
