Listen to the comet sing:
Why is Comet 67P singing?

out of this world 
Through some kind of interaction in the comet’s environment, 67P’s weak magnetic field seems to be oscillating at low frequencies. In an effort to better understand this unique ‘song’, mission scientists have increased the frequency 10,000 times to make it audible to the human ear.

crickets live up there. Lots of them.
But seriously its vacuum there with few exceptions of H2S gas
And this magnetic field interaction with plasma creating sound, is it really sound or just analysis of EM waves and than an audio reproduction of those oscillations?

The sun sounds like a washing machine.
I prefer 67P, which sings the song of our Dolphin Overlords.

No, the dolphin overlords have slaves to do their laundry. They don't have washing machines.
Their laundry is done by tortoises.
They may be slow, but they do a good job.
Would you like me to wash that shirt?

Or a pullover. Tell you what. I'll do a rush job.
It'll be back with you in 25 years.

If there was a rule against close-ups of turtles munching grass, I'd report you, captain.
