"The screen buzzed and hummed with cosmic interference, the wordless talking of the stars." (p. 72)
See here.
Another description of cosmic interference. People talk by radio so it is appropriate to describe stellar radio waves as the talking, albeit wordless, of the stars.
Such passages provide a common background to Poul Anderson's many imaginative accounts of human beings traveling and communicating on an interstellar, indeed on a cosmic, scale.
I hope to do some posting tomorrow.

Kaor, Paul!
Better put, the buzzing and humming of the stars were in languages and codes mankind had not deciphered.
Ad astra! Sean
