How "low" can you really get? I mean... 1 hz is just a pulse every
second. It's not really a "tone".
Isn't everything below about 20 hz just a bunch of pulses in decreasing
frequency? It's not going to be heard as a "note" of any kind is it?

And, since black holes aren't in an atmosphere there's no audio waves.
And because of their gravity light waves can't escape - so how do they
propagate this hum?

It's precisely because light waves can't escape, black holes are forced to
hum; without light, they can't see the lyrics.

Wow, that's straight outta the Pope Chute!
