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.

00:17And 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.

00:28But anyway, can you do that?

00:30We can configure that, Butch. Give us a minute and I'll call you back when it's ready.

00:33Okay.

00:39All right, Butch, that one came through. It was kind of like a pulsing noise, almost like a sonar ping.

00:46I'll do it one more time and watch y'all scratch your head to see if you can figure out what's going on. Here we go.

00:58All 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.
