Default Black hole hums deepest note ever detected

Harvey Gerst laid this on me:

I'm confused.
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.

The scientific information available on this noosgroop is
overwhelming at times.
