The audio released is like a low drone sound making people wonder about their own significance amid the vastness of the space.

Audio of Black Hole: How the sound of Black Hole was created?

According to NASA, the sonification of the Perseus Galaxy Cluster is unlike any other done before as it uses the actual soundwaves discovered by its Chandra X-Ray observatory Space Telescope. The sound waves were extracted outwards, from the centre of the cluster the signals were resynthesized into a range of human hearing by scaling them up.
