NASA astronaut Butch Wilmore reported hearing a "strange noise" aboard Boeing's Starliner spacecraft during preflight tests. While the unusual sound initially raised concerns, further investigation revealed it was merely feedback from a speaker system, posing no threat to the mission.
The Starliner, part of Boeing’s ongoing efforts to become a key player in NASA’s commercial crew program, was undergoing routine testing when Wilmore noticed the odd sound. This spacecraft is crucial for NASA’s strategy to maintain access to the International Space Station (ISS), supplementing the capabilities of SpaceX's Dragon capsule.
Despite minor delays due to technical issues, including this noise incident, Boeing’s Starliner continues to progress toward carrying astronauts to the ISS, with a hopeful launch in the near future.

The official story is that, it is normal. I call bull! No ship of any kind should be making any noise. It had to have been something else.
