if so, what sound did it make? can you descibe it?
Uh… yeah, it was mostly silent. I think the lack of air got in the way…
B’WOM ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
OOM (ryme with tomb), as in the meditative mantra is described as all the sounds of the universe, also the sound of no sound, also the music of the spheres (which is the sound of the transparent dome layers of that contain the moon, stars, sun, planets make as they scrap past eachother as they revolve around a flat earth, um… somehow)
Antarctica Hears Little Normal Matter in the Big Bang
You do get sound waves travelling interstellar distances near the center of galaxies. According to this site a typical speed is ~100 km/sec. Out here near earth, ~30,000 light years from the center, the medium is too thin for much sound conduction.
I love big bangs. especially of the variety that cause catastrophic lightening storms, on a global scale. If you survived that, and emerged from your cave, how would you then enjoy the blast from a nearby star explosion?
or will we be ‘not around to perceive that event’. personally if the planet were evacuated and re-seeded in its doom phase, the monkeys would have quite a show.
Is there a question with a factual answer here?
Eh? Global lightning storms? Caves?
some of the events pertain to replies by squinck, and partly to my own imagination. but at the same time they pertain to events that are a scientific reality, if such a proposition makes sense.
Apparently, if you visit the Big Bang theatre at the Hayden planetarium in NY, you may
here. Sadly, the sound is not online. There’s a short description here though.
A slightly more mystical take on the sound of creation may be found here: A-U-M-Silence… the ancient sound of “OM”
Can I imagine it? Yes, I imagine it to be white noise. If you add up all the motions or waves of the universe it’s not likely to have a discernable pattern. I recall some astronomer added up all the light in the universe and got a sort of beige/off-white color. (Though I still don’t understand why that little “result” got so much publicity.)
Shouldn’t this be in IMHO?
If you’re interested in hearing what the universe sounds like when it’s remixed into dance music, there’s always Dr. Fiorella Tirenzi.
1420Hz
Classic. 
amoeba, you sound much like a young fellow I worked with last year.
He like to listen to what he called “the sound of the universe” which was basically the white noise that played on the radio between stations. :eek:
[sub]THAT lasted all of about an hour here. I can only be so nice about this stuff.[/sub]
I asked a similar question a long time ago, here. I’m still curious about it.
Although the wording of the question makes it sound like an IMHO sort of thread, I suspect this is really a GQ. I think the question is something like this: Did the Big Bang really make a noise; and if so, would it be possible to recreate what that noise would have sounded like?
I did not believe the question was about the big bang.
The universe resonates with a “white noise” type noise at 1420Hz
So: 1) yes; 2) see above sentence; 3) Hisssssssssssssssssssss
“Aum is the dial tone of the universe.”
