The space makes "sounds" all the time, usually due to the charged particles interact with the magnetic field of a planet. In 1979, the NASA spacecraft Voyager got close to Jupiter noise (video) that is very similar to what the astronauts of Apollo 10 in orbit around the moon heard. The Cassini spacecraft recorded sounds around Saturn as well, in 2002.
