Starliner Spacecraft Noise [audio]

  That sound, shockingly, sounds like a sample from the Song "Break Law" by Dog Blood. Check out 10 seconds into the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uidibRc_U3o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uidibRc_U3o

  Sept. 2 Update: NASA issued the following explanation on Monday for the strange noises: "A pulsing sound from a speaker in Boeing’s Starliner spacecraft heard by NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore aboard the International Space Station has stopped. The feedback from the speaker was the result of an audio configuration between the space station and Starliner. The space station audio system is complex, allowing multiple spacecraft and modules to be interconnected, and it is common to experience noise and feedback."

    That's a cop-out, not an explanation. It's not like anyone expected new physics or ET to be the explanation; of course it was going to be some interaction of complicated systems.

  Not the first time odd sounds are heard in orbit - Chinese astronaut reported "knocking an iron bucket with a wooden hammer" https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/38153623 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/38153623

  When that topic was first posted; I seriously thought that it was a joke post, refering to Star Trek IV when the probe was nearing earth, making what turned out to be whale sound but sounded like that.
