A team of scientists that included York University made the discovery . They fired an ultra - intense laser on fluids in a vacuum . When they did this , the plasma in the plasma produced a sound effect . This process is believed to also be taking place in stars . However , as space is a vacuum , you would n't hear anything if nearby .
