Sound of a Black Hole

NASA releases eerie ‘singing’ from a black hole and it’s straight out of a horror... - Classic FM

This article has a link to what a black hole 'might sound like if humans could here the sound waves. Eerie and peaceful at the same time.
I doubt that they have the "sound of a black hole". So easy to fool people with news.

Probably a trick to get people to believe in evolution and let go of the Christian thought "God created the universe". As well as anti abortions and the newest plan "lab embryos instead of lab rats"

I see a trend here the past few years
"Replace Religion (morals) by Science" (esp. the Abrahamic Religions)

Sound can't be heard in space. The frequencies sounds make can be detected and translated. These are only close enough approximations. They, suffice well. For all we know, the sun could be emitting Beethoven.

You doubted they had the sound of a black hole but then concluded with confidence that this was "probably a trick to fool people"? I mean, if someone were going to be skeptical, maybe consistently applying their skepticism would be a good first step.

There are too many conspiracy theories that you mentioned simply based on a glimpse of what a black hole could sound like if humans could detect its sound waves.

Since no matter can escape from a black hole, likely it makes no sound at all. However, matter falling into a black hole might make sound.

However, we could use gravity detectors to see what happens inside a black hole. It is possible that there is some sort of sound frequency harmonic.

Not much matter escapes from your vacuum either, yet it makes a noise.

They explained it in the article. Within the galaxy are dust clouds and other material that act as a medium and are distorted and caused to move at certain frequencies due to the perturbations of the black hole. For all intents and purposes, the black hole does make sound.

The pitch is too low for humans to hear, so it has been raised a ton of octaves so that we can experience it as sound.

The article went into why it's really the sound at a very different frequency at which we can hear.

It makes sense to me to speed it up, because there is a time differential near to a black hole, however I wonder if they artificially tweaked the rate to make it match C on Earth? Time goes more slowly around a black hole, so speeding it up makes sense. That way we might experience the frequency we could experience if present at the black hole, but is it exact? I wonder if we could hear it if it was sped up to make the difference between our relative acceleration frameworks, would it be C? Did they artificially tweak it to make it a C octave? I wonder if the frequency of these gravity waves would still be N octaves from c? No matter, but if so that is double cool.

Supplement to the above:
C occurs in nature on Earth because of the density of air. Earth's harmonics are the result of the density of Air. The book Comprehensive Technique for Jazz Musicians says
"The triad is the first three pitches in the overtone series and the natural laws of physics insist that the planet vibrates with these tones when the winds blow, which may explain the universal occurrence of the triad in melodies..." (VIII Triadic Superimposition pg 181)​

Interpreting waves emitted by a black hole as a "sound" capable of being hear by the human ear is probably a trick to do what now?

I would be willing to be you are unable to fathom how ridiculous this statement of yours sounds. Also your second sentence is pretty much nonsensical. You say "as well as anti abortions". What is that in reference to? Are you saying "anti abortion" is also a trick to get people to believe in evolution? Or this black hole's sound business is a trick to get people to be "anti abortion"? Or "anti abortion" is a trick to get people to buy into "lab embryos instead of lab rats?" You're not making any sense.
