Interference patterns from two lasers do not make any sound. You can take data describing the interference pattern and convert it to a signal that is run through a speaker but that doesn&#x27;t mean the interference pattern is audible.<p>The amazing thing is they detected gravitational waves, not that they hooked up a speaker to the data.<p>I think a proper analogy would be if back when someone created the first function generator they connected it to a speaker. Then in an interview the main message they delivered was that you could now &quot;hear electricity.&quot;<p>It just seems like they are focusing on an afterthought.<p>I also have no idea why I am so fixated on this.  :-p
