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.
