    I’m wondering if it’s not some kind of assistive thing that got turned on randomly because it was up there too long.

    For example, for docking, playing a sound that changed pitched as you got closer, etc.

    That or an Easter egg engineers buried as a joke among themselves.

      Boeing levering the high technology of my refrigerator automatically alerting when I leave the door open.

        To be fair, if you leave an airlock door open….

        It’s quite a bit worse than a fridge.

          I know we’re joking here, but if you leave an airlock open exposed to hard vacuum you’re not going to hear any kind of audio alerts because there’s no air to transmit the sound.

            sound will also transmit through the physical structure, so you can feel the vibrations if your touching walls.

            But if you really want to get pedantic… you’ll probably notice the whole choking-on-vacuum-thing first.

              We agree completely!
