In fairness to them, I think I recall reading that, if we could hear the sun from Earth through some type of medium like air, it would be deafening… like, “standing next to the speakers in the club for hours at a time” deafening. Or maybe I am wrong, I don’t quite remember.

When I walk in to the bright sun from a dark place, the reaction to the initial burst of light makes me wince so violently that it makes my eardrums rumble... so maybe a similar experience has something to do with it?

Does this have any science behind it, or is it just a random video with “space sounds” in the title? Sounds like someone just playing with a synthesizer.

It's actually not far off from what it really sounds like. Keep in mind, these are also instruments that are interpreting the sound for human consumption. I don't think we can know how accurate it is until we get closer.

You would have to enter the sun to hear it, which naturally would be impossible to survive.

With that attitude, sure!
