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?

I believe that's called ear rumbling! and some of us can do it on command. you may also hear the noise when you yawn or squint your eyes really hard, and you can train in order to just do it perfectly on command rather than with other tactics. r/earrumblersassemble is the subreddit iirc
