Reply to comment by Contadini in Have you ever thought about what it sounds on jupiter by Western_Home6746

The sun is loud AF. If there was atmosphere to propagate the sound from 93 million miles away, the sun would be around 100 decibels loud on earths surface. As loud as a concert or jackhammer just outside your window

Any source or hints on how this is calculated?

It's from the documentary 'Rick and Morty', visualized as the Sun screaming.

I just used Google, but the first handful of sources claim the same number. Just number crunching basically

Given how bright it is, at a distance of 93 MILLION miles...I believe it.

Those calculations assume a lossless atmosphere and that the only attenuation is geometric. Adding in attenuation leads to full thermalization surprisingly close to the photosphere.

Of course, if there were a medium to transport that sound, then it would effectively mean that the sun were just a much larger star, and that medium itself would be turbulent and noisy.
