According to the sci-fi horror flick "Alien," “In space, no one can hear you scream” — and this haunting phrase is more than a tagline. It’s fact. Unlike Earth, space doesn’t have an abundance of materials like water or air for audio vibrations to travel through. It has distant particles of interstellar gas and dust that does produce sound — but at too low of a frequency for humans to hear. We may not be able to hear sound in space, but that doesn’t mean it’s silent. NASA scientists monitor sound from space missions to protect satellites and astronauts. The eerie chatter, which is actually noise from electric and magnetic fields, is a spooky mix of wolf howls and space lasers, with plenty of “whooshes” in between.
