      What is meant by „the sound“, is the sound of the sun. And since space doesn’t conduct sound waves because of the lack of particles, the assumption is made that it would be possible. Therefore you would need to choose a medium. Water could have also been chosen, sondwaves now travel four times faster than in air. The time would shrink to only 3,5 years.
      But the more familiar medium is air, thats why the formulation of the statement may have confused you.

      of course this varies by frequency. In the most sensitive area from about 2k to 4k you need a lot less dB for a perceived change. Right at 3k a 3dB change is all thats needed. But down low at 100-300hz you need a lot more gain to perceive a noticeable difference. Fletcher-Munsson curve and whatnot.

Going from 10dB to 20dB requires ten times the sound power, so does going from 100dB to 110dB. They both cause the same subjective increase in loudness. It makes no sense dividing 20 by 10 and saying it is a doubling. Going from 110 by 100 gives a 1.1 ratio but is the same subjective increase. A doubling of power adds 3dB to the perceived loudness. Ten times the power adds 10dB. A hundred times adds 20dB.

I did not have a general coverage receiver for frequencies above 30 MHz back then, but I do now and I am curious to give that a spin the next time there is a MCE headed this way.

    This is fascinating stuff! My guess is that magnetic reconnection happens constantly at small scales, particularly as the hot/cold areas are constantly shifting and pulling the magnetic field lines with them. It's just that we can't see those smaller nano-flares because they don't release nearly enough energy to be visible against such a bright background. As supporting evidence I'd like to offer up the small "spikes" of plasma extending out of the sun's surface as seen at 5:30, which I suspect to be similar events. But that's just one possible explanation for the continuous howl ;)
    Also, small correction: you quote the velocity of particles within and outside the corona as 145 m/s and 618 m/s respectively. They're actually 145 and 618 *kilometers* per second, fast enough for the solar wind to be supersonic all the way out to the edge of our solar system.

    As a power plant technician (in the US), I am well acquainted with a 60 cycle hum. The surprising thing about the sun hum at Earth orbit is it has a higher frequency. Given the suns massive size I would expect it to be much lower. I was going to also mention it’s surprising uniformity, but as it turns out, that is fixed by just getting closer.

    • @ExoPressoPhD
      @ExoPressoPhD Рік тому +19

      Hello @Simple_But_Expensive,
      I appreciate your insightful comment. As an astrophysicist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory with a specialization in celestial bodies, I've spent a significant portion of my career studying phenomena related to our Sun.
      Your understanding of the Sun's "hum" from your background as a power plant technician is fascinating. In the field of astrophysics, we refer to this "hum" as oscillations within the Sun's body, a subject studied under helioseismology. These oscillations are the result of turbulent convection of the Sun's plasma in its outer layers.
      While it might seem intuitive that a larger object like the Sun would oscillate at a lower frequency, the actual situation is a bit more complex. The Sun's oscillations are driven by a combination of factors, including its immense size, the intense heat and pressure within, and the dynamics of plasma and nuclear fusion. This results in a broad spectrum of oscillation frequencies, some of which fall in the millihertz range-higher than a 60 cycle (or 60 hertz) hum.
      Regarding the uniformity of the Sun's "hum," it's true that the Sun's oscillations vary across its surface and depth. However, from our vantage point on Earth, these variations are difficult to discern due to the vast distance. As you correctly surmised, a closer examination would provide a more nuanced understanding of these oscillations.
      It's always exciting when we can apply our everyday experiences and knowledge to understanding celestial phenomena. The Sun, as familiar as it is to us, is still a subject of ongoing research and continues to reveal its secrets. Your curiosity and eagerness to understand these phenomena by applying your professional knowledge are commendable.

    The first one is focused on a signal an octave too high. It oscillates between C#2 and D2 with a constant drone underneath at C#1. The C#3-D3 audio NASA released is just a partial reconstruction of the part that is easier to hear on most devices.
    Also, the Whistler-mode waves modulate much slower on average and also overlap. They sound more like a chorus of detuned digeridoos.
    The raw data from these recordings has under and overtones at frequencies from way below to way above human hearing.

    The animation of the nanoflares reminds me of a tungsten filament heating up outside a vacuum. The resistive material can only hold out for so long before the energy cannot be contained.

    The thing to remember is that it's all just waves. Sound is merely the vibration of a medium that allows us to interpret it. While everything that occurs will cause vibrations of one form or another, the sound clips you've played here are a translation of one form of vibration to another and a scaling down of the noise level of those vibrations.

  • @dodokgp

    A big component of the sound seems to be similar to Barkhausen noise which emanates from fast flipping and friction between magnetic domains in solids, when an EM field is applied to it. Perhaps something similar is happening in the magnetic convection cells brushing against each other.

    6:08 According to a few papers I read years ago, the Corona is the atmosphere for the sun. The Corona is so hot because of how loud the sun is and the Corona is dense enough to conduct sound as good if not better than our atmosphere.
    I could be wrong as that was years ago.

    Its not that space is a vacuum, its just really thin outside the atmosphere, theres very few, very spread out molecules. There of course is a vacuum effect if you open a pressurized object, the pressures equalize, but that doesnt mean space is a vacuum. Sound could travel in space, if there were enough molecules for it to vibrate, but there isnt. Its the lack of ability, not possibility.

  • @green-lean-espeon
    @green-lean-espeon Рік тому +6

    Correction: Every 10 decibels is a 2x increase in sound volume, NOT 10x.
    If every 10 decibels = 10x sound, literally nothing we ever made would reach 190 decibels.
    The "10 decibels = 10x sound" does NOT refer to sound volume, it refers to sound pressure.

  • @LecherousLizard
    @LecherousLizard Рік тому +4

    The Sun being only 270dB is actually surprising.
    If the vacuum was as good of a medium for sound propagation as air, we'd only be receiving sound about 47dB strong. Which means that, for example, during rainfall, you would have problems hearing it in the first place. An average conversation is louder.

  • @davidtatro7457

    It's truly fascinating that our stable, reliable little star is such a seething mass of unfathomably powerful and violent outbursts. And that it would blow out all of our eardrums from 93 million miles away if the soundwaves could propogate through space.
    Now, imagine how many db a supernova would put out. Or a quasar.

    • @igameidoresearchtoo6511
      @igameidoresearchtoo6511 Рік тому +3

      There is a limit to how strong a wave of sound can be unfortunately, which means supernova aren’t actually all that loud (_in terms of sound ofcourse_)
      However there is another problem.. because the waves supernova generate are so high in frequency and so high in energy that they can’t be heard as sound waves, however if these waves are stretched from space expanding then I truly wonder how a high energy wave would sound like once it is stretched enough to become a sound wave…but it might not be “audible” per say as it might break the sound wave limit I was talking about, it might require ultra high pressure gases to raise the limit just enough for it to be audible but the pressures I’m talking about are probably impossible for a gas to exist at anyways.
      All of this ofcourse depends on the imaginary physics that make sound waves travel through space

    You should do a video talking about the sun fully in general. Many people think the sun is a ball of fire in space, and I’ve seen people say it’s a glass ball that’s constantly exploding, then recently I’ve heard that the sun is like that if a massive planet; but it’s mass is so strong that it’s militant like a volcano with an ocean of lava… I’m just confused about what it actually is.

    Idk how true this actually is lol but I heard on a video one time, that said if sound could travel through space that when the sun would be about to rise iit would get loader and loader and would sound similar to a hand full of jack hammed being run full speed right beside your head or something like that. It’s amazing to me how we orbit literally a giant ball of plasma that’s so hot and powerful that if it sneezed a little to hard it could be a bad time for everyone. That some sound was sounding like a dang aztec death whistle I think it’s called Jesusit sounds similar. Great content bro keep up the great work.

    • @summerbrooks9922

      The sun is not a ball of plasma. It is a drop of condensed matter composed of a lattice, hexagonal planar, which chemically supports the liquid metallic hydrogen into a helium molecular into the sun's atmosphere in the photosphere. 15:09

    Yes, give more substance to my theory about the sound being driven by a magnetic wave, the wave is super low frequency but insanely high in amplitude.
