NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station reported hearing strange 'sonar-like' noises and a pulsing sound coming from Boeing's Starliner spacecraft. The noise was initially a mystery, with astronauts Butch Wilmore and Sunita Williams raising concerns. NASA later clarified that the noise was due to feedback from the speaker, resulting from an audio configuration issue between the space station and Starliner, with no technical impact on the crew or the spacecraft. The Starliner, which has faced several technical challenges, is scheduled to return to Earth soon.
