      I doubt we would all be able to hear it, it probably needs to be collected with a special detector, it won’t be like some big global disco unfortunately.

      Perhaps like satellite TV?

      Sound is a pressure wave in air and in space there’s no air so there’s no sound. I don’t know how it’d work. If it did work, you’d probably need really big ears to catch enough to detect it.
