00:00Houston on two, got a question about the Starliner. Houston's with you, but you 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 hear.

00:21I don't know what's making it, but I don't know if it's something that's maybe connected between here and there, making that happen.

00:28But anyway, 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 figure out what's going on. Here we go.

01:07All right, over to you. How was that? Did you figure it out?

01:09Yep, good recording. Thanks, Butch. We will pass it on to the team and let you know what we find.

01:15And, Butch, just to make sure I'm on the same page, this is emanating from the speaker in Starliner.

01:21You don't notice anything else, any other noises, any other weird configs in there?

01:26No, sir.

01:29Okay. Thank you.
