Ok... I'm back. Sorry I didn't get my last post edited in time... it would seem that I deleted every audio and video clip aside from ONE... so I had to go out, find another UA, capture the video, edit the video, copy the sound, edit the sound, record another video of my editing the audio, then edit that video... and finally upload it.
A few things first....
-I am not at all the best at editing audio. My skill &/or experience is limited, so I've never really had to clean up audio or reverse-engineer someone elses, so yeah.. I didn't do a good job.
-Below is a link to a youtube video I just got done uploading... I didn't know how else to better explain myself, so it's more or less a video showing everyone the 'basics' of what I was doing/how I was editing the audio when I got the idea for this in the first place.
-The purpose of this is because I can't get it out of my head! I am hoping that someone with uber audio skills will watch this and then try to do a better job with it than I did! Even if it means I am wrong about the whole "vocals" thing!!!!
-The audio editing software I used in this example is called "Audacity", it's full featured FREE, so if someone wants to give some audio editing a crack... there you go. Google search for it and voila. I'm not familiar with Audacity, I only downloaded and installed it for the first time a few days ago.... I'm more familiar with Sony's Sound Forge, and even then the few versions I own are 10 and prior... and I'm missing more than half my plugins.
-The UA that this audio is from was a free floater I found some 1,200LS away from the star, no planets. The audio between a floater and one that has already been scooped up & then jettisoned is very different, the jettisoned one will have an increasing-tone in addition to a higher pitched & very constant buzzing sound. I flew past 2 or 3 SSSs before stopping at this one... just so I could get 1k LS away or more.
-Lastly, I was using Shadow Play to capture my using Audacity... with push to talk for my mic... so I had to edit a few dead spots out.... not exactly "pro" if you get my meaning!
So, here ya go

There.
If anyone sets out to do this on their own, as someone else had already suggested... it's best to go way out into DEEP deep space and away from stars/planets before trying to listen to the audio, because planets and stars will increase the background noise you hear. Also, using the "confidential" camera is one way to easily eliminate ship sounds, but know that if you do use the camera, your will then get some background audio (almost like music) that you CAN'T disable... mess around, that's all I can say.
Let me know what you all think please. I want to either get motivation to delve into this more.... or to drop it (the search for vocals that is)... it's bad enough that I'm convinced there's also a very feint "heart beat" of sorts in the audio as well... but I've only heard that in a jettisoned UA, and it's harder to hear than what I describe in this video so... not gonna go on about that
Otayo...let me know! Thanks!
