00:00Houston, I'm two. I've got a question about the Starliner.
00:11Houston's with you, Butch. Go ahead.
00:13There's a strange noise coming through the speaker, and I didn't know if you could connect into the Starliner and let me keep the mic and let you hear it.
00:22I don't know what's making it, but I don't know if there's something that's maybe connected between here and there, making that happen.
00:29Anyway, can you do that?
00:31We can configure that, Butch. Give us a minute, and I'll call you back when it's ready.
00:34Okay.
00:40All right, Butch, that one came through. It was kind of like a pulsing noise, almost like a sonar ping.
00:47I'll do it one more time, and I'll scratch your head to see if you can figure out what's going on. Here we go.
00:59All right, over to you. Call us to figure it out.
01:09Yep, good recording. Thanks, Butch. We will pass it on to the team and let you know what we find.
01:14And Butch, just to make sure I'm on the same page, this is emanating from the speaker in Starliner.
01:20You don't notice anything else, any other noises, any other weird configs in there?
01:25Very nice and definitely, I'll start to make out the example.
01:28Okay, thank you.
