Sound is energy passing through a medium ( air, water, etc.) Because there is no medium in space , only vacuum, sound can't travel. But there are plenty of other energies running through space, so it's no surprise the rings emmit waves.
Some form of magnetic property of the rings + the planet's creating a low-frequency electromagnetic feedback which can be picked up as like radio waves OORRR the asteroids all vibrate as they orbit, kinda like the moon's wobble OOORRR

There is no sound in space
Well, yes -- that's what I'd always been told. So what is the sound?
It's actually the sound of the radio waves emitted from radiation. NYT has a pretty good write up on the matter. https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/05/03/science/nasa-cassini-sound-recording-saturn.html

Or is there? Looks like a case of if a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
Sound doesn't travel in a vacuum, and space is a vacuum.
That's correct, and rockets cannot propel in a space/vacuum, either. But I digress.

Yes. Aliens. Of course.
I have to admit that is creepy! Gives me the chills. I'm glad Saturn is a long ass way away from us.
I actually caught myself listening to it in a meditative state. It was actually quite soothing :D
WOOOOOO Amazing! But how there should be sound without oxygen?
It's kind of obvious to me. Saturn is turntable of the Gods. It's some dope beats! We just can't comprehend coz it's the Universe's BPM. Boom!!
That sounds right.
it's so beautiful
