TL;DR Summary

NASA has recorded the sound of a black hole at the center of a galaxy cluster in the constellation Perseus by using sound waves that can travel through the gas enveloping the cluster. The sound waves were transformed into audible frequencies through a process called sonification. The resulting sound allows us to hear noises from 250 million light years away. While black holes can be as massive as 60 billion times the mass of the sun, even a small one close to Earth could cause catastrophic destruction. Fortunately, there are no black holes in our solar system.
