The sound is like a single tone that, over time, changes. The way the frequency moves around as Voyager 1 travels further can tell researchers how the density of the interstellar medium is changing. The hum could also help researchers understand the density of the space between stars. There has never been an opportunity to track and evaluate this kind of data. Cornell research scientist Shami Chatterjee, who co-authored a study on the new sound with Ocker, described the data as the spacecraft saying: “Here’s the density I’m swimming through right now. And here it is now. And here it is now. And here it is now.”

Voyager 1 is designed for interstellar research
NASA s Voyager 1 probe has picked up an uncanny humming sound coming from space. NASA launched the Voyager 1 space probe 44 years ago and today it is the most distant human-made object from Earth, after exiting our solar system nine years ago. Since then, it has been exploring the near-emptiness of interstellar space and sending back valuable data to help us understand the world outside our solar system. Scientists now say instruments aboard the distant spacecraft have detected a “persistent hum” generated by the constant vibration of small amounts of gas in interstellar space. According
