This question has had me perplexed for some time, what would a black hole sound like if one were to suddenly and inexplicably materialize somewhere on earth?
wooushhhhhhhhhhh
A rumbling and humming followed by whispers of dead people you once knew.
"I watched you play with your naughty parts for over 10 years now, Justin"
A black hole doesn't even emit light. Why would it emit sound?

I want to say this. But if they can stop light dead in its track, cant it absorb sound as well, making it quiet to us?
like a toilet flushing

I'd imagine it doesn't really absorg sound, but it pulls it, so if you try yelling it'd sounds like a ghost as the vibrations dissipate
thoguh im not a scientist so don't listen to me
Like Enigma's ult

You'd probably hear the natural sound of a bunch of shit being sucked past you, but the black hole itself wouldn't make any noise.

air/etc being pulled in would though, wouldn't it?

Sure but that wouldn't be any different than a bunch of stuff rushing toward a massive body which is not a black hole. It's not unique to black holes.

I'm sure we could at least hear the vibrations of air particles wooshing past us as they get sucked into the void. Maybe it sounds like a quiet, gentle breeze for a single second before our bodies are immediately flattened and crushed by the powerful gravitational force that the hole would emit across the planet almost instantly.
It would sound somewhat like Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden.

This would rock.

This also implies the black hole at the surface of our planet than in deep space. If it were in deep space, you'd hear nothing since you need matter for sound to travel through to begin with.
I assume when it's pulling something in, for example a star, you could hear it as the star's particles would be everywhere around you
assuming you'd be alive

Wouldn't the black hole suck away the air and thus making sound unable to travel to us?
You can hear it if you have a room with no sound in it.
Its great.

Well, that is what GoldenDargon is asking of us. If a black hole were to appear somewhere on Earth. But yes, you're right, that's what would happen if one were to appear in deep space and we get trapped by its pull of gravity.
It would sound like Whitney Houston.
It sounds like
Since sound is a mechanical wave, it can't travel in the vaccum . As a black hole just sucks everything that come nearby, you wont hear anything because the matter that would've transmitted the wave was already crushed. Also, light is an electromagnetic wave, it has nothing to do with a mechanical wave , there's no relation between emitting light and emitting sound. My dog don't emit light in the dark, he still can emit sounds.
A black hole is supposed to be a dead corpse of matter that is so heavy that it attract and crush everything getting too close ( even photons, that's why it's black ) . It's passive , so it won't emit any sound by itself, as Johnny said.

Yes you would
Sccchlloooorppp

To be fair, your dog never emits light. He just reflects the light from the sun/light bulb near him and your eye catches the light he didn't absorb.

True. But it still have no link with the sound he make !

To be fair, the dog probably emits infrared :v:

I thought the light particle hitting another atom produced a reaction that fired another light particle out and it is that particle that hits your eye that lets you see the dog, otherwise the dog would be a mirror.
Like a butthole farting
