"The universe really threw us a curve," Kogut said. "Instead of the faint signal we hoped to find, here was this booming noise six times louder than anyone had predicted."
But the newly detected signal, described here today at the 213th meeting of the American Astronomical Society, is far louder than astronomers expected.
There is "something new and interesting going on in the universe," said Alan Kogut of NASA

This is really interesting to me. Is what they are hearing the actual expansion of the universe? Maybe it's the burning roar of the sun? Maybe God has a loose speaker wire? Could be anything really.
I'm interested in what they learn about this noise. I'm guessing it could be a while before they find out any more information on this, or they may not at all. What are your thoughts?

My guess, as an apt. dweller: a neighboring parallel universe with the radio on too loud.
