What IS that noise ???

Well, I'm not sure but I did notice a funny noise when I accidentally hit boost on final approach to the docking entrance last night. It was like the sound of ripping fabric but wetter, and it smelled. Weird.?

I heard that once when I came out of hypercruise and saw two stars zooming towards me and then immediately again when I rotated to see another one 20ls away. I keep a bucket under the chair now.
 
The "whistling" near stars: it's been nagging me since Day One that it has something to do with those guys who have recorded stellar radio emissions and changed the frequency to be within human audible range.

Anyone know?

I'd bet it's more or less exactly that.

That was your underwear giving out......
 
I hear it 90% of the time in my Type-9......It's almost the sound a bullet makes when it whips past your head, just a wee bitty softer. Happens on approach to the letterbox when passing the advert boards. Be damned if I know what it is though as there is nothing in the vicinity.

I'll attempt to catch it on video next time I'm docking.
 
I actually thought it was static electricity...... If you hit the grid sparks fly everywhere.....
A bit like an electronic fence ...Not enough to kill but enough to make you keep away :)

Of course as you go through the blue in the letterbox its just the force fields reacting ..

Yeah, that's a pretty good description of what I mean.
