Post by Tristan Beeline I want to create a movie with lots of exploding suns, but I don't know how a supernova does sound.
It doesn't. Vacuum. So, um, have a blast.
Well, if you are close enough (a few thousand miles?), you might detect some slight momentary increase in pressure as the remains of the "blast wave" passes your location. But likely sub-sonic and maybe detectable only with a barometer rather than a mic.

Post by Tristan Beeline I want to create a movie with lots of exploding suns, but I don't know how a supernova does sound. What can I do now?
Technically, the others are right, it doesn't sound like anything. BUT... What I would find effective is... Camera at a few thousand miles (suns are big, you really don't want to be that close anyway), no sound at the moment of the explosion. Then as the blast wave comes at you (at several thousand miles a second) this low rumbling gets louder...and louder...and louder! Until a final pop as it passes your point in space and a cut to a reaction shot.
I think it would be cool to take a realistic approach (for once) and have no sound, just visuals. Remember how effective the exterior space shots were in 2001 when Hal killed off the first astronaut. No sound. It was chilling.

I can hear Bruckheimer's cries now: "More noise! More flames! More noise! More flames! Bigger! Bigger!"

I like the idea of no sound. That's what made 2001 so effective.
However, if you do need to add sound design, I would use a lot of waterfall, earthquake, and other rumble and fire.
Of course, since nobody has ever actually heard a supernova, you do whatever you want. I like the idea of cows mooing.....and maybe some low level flattulance.

In Canon Beach, Oregon, the tsunami warning system is tested each Monday at noon by playing a track of cows mooing. Quite as effective as the real warning sound, but not likely to be mistaken for an actual alert.
Only the new tourists find it disorienting to hear cow sounds from the sky in "downtown" Canon Beach. :-)

And cat-in-heat. I recorded mine in 1972, and have used it on a lot of stuff.

I say may sound like a farting Cow from outer space spinning into a 390-mph tornado on top of a volcano eruption, mixed up backwards with the sound a vacuum cleaner sucking water from a plastic cup. SS
