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 has struggled past the edge of the solar system and is the boundary between the solar system and the interstellar space.

The classic 1979 sci-fi horror film Alien was advertised with the memorable tagline, In space no can hear you scream. It did not say anything about humming.
Instruments aboard NASA s Voyager 1 spacecraft, which nine years ago exited our solar system s outer reaches, have detected a faint monotonous hum caused by the constant vibrations of the small amounts of gas found in the near-emptiness of interstellar space, scientists said.
After 44 years of travel, Voyager 1 is the most distant human-made object in space
