The deepest note in space ever detected is a B♭, detected in sound waves from a supermassive black hole in NGC 1275, in the Perseus cluster of galaxies 250 million light years from Earth. No human can hear the note, as its time period between oscillations is 9.6 million years, and it is 57 octaves below the keys in the middle of a piano. The "note" is the deepest ever detected from any object in our Universe.

The time between oscillations was particularly interesting to me. That's nuts.
