"Interstellar space isn´t a silent void". Except, of course, that it is. Does a falling tree make a sound if nobody is around to hear it? Bingo!
In the same way, there are no "sounds" in interstellar space...not unless Cthulhu is out there, his squamos and presumably betentacled ear drums being able to pick up the vibrations and transform them into "sound" in his rugose brain. And even then, *we* wouldn´t hear shit anyway. Cuz Ding an Sich or something.
What´s apparently going on here (I think) is that NASA´s computers interpret some kind of vibratory patterns they think are out there, and turn them into sound waves our little primate ears can pick up. Thus we "hear" the "sounds of space"...
The colors on NASA´s photos are fake, too.
