Seethe And Crackle

On Wayland, Flandry's spacesuit radio detects a robotic code on a single wavelength. However:

"The rest of the available radio spectrum was silent, except for the the seethe and crackle of cosmic static."
-Poul Anderson, A Circus Of Hells IN Anderson, Young Flandry (Riverdale, NY, 2010), pp. 193-365 AT Chapter Six, p. 233.

Thus, "...seethe and crackle..." joins earlier descriptions of cosmic radio noise. See other descriptive phrases here.

It is time for me to attend the meditation group where I will inwardly hear not cosmic crackle but alternating mental quiet and chatter. We will continue this discussion later.
