It's precisely because light waves can't escape, black holes are forced

What's the best mic for recording a black hole in space?

Easy, one that works to pick up action in gas down to
point-fuggedaboutit hertz. No biggie. I think Gerst & Dorsey might could
do it.

Use a barometer, and just write down the reading every 100 years or
so.
We better record it at exactly midnight every 36,525 days. Just
recording it "every 100 years" by the calendar would add jitter from
leap years and such. You wouldn't want to be at the end of a 500
million year recording and then find out it has jitter.
