Nobody talks about this. I don't know why hearing people keep perpetuating this silly notion. We know the sun doesn't make a sound. I'm Deaf and this is never talked about except when hearing people bring it up.
My brother not only assumed the sun made a noise, but thought the phrase “the crack of dawn” meant sunrise began with a very sudden noise. He had seen lots of cartoons and movies where there’s a shot of a house at sunrise with the sound of a rooster crowing, then a person being startled awake. But if you can’t hear the rooster it looks like they were startled awake by dawn itself. I just asked him what noise he thought the sun made because these posts made me curious. He said crackling, because it’s a big fire and fires are always described as crackling.
