If a big bang happens and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

It's a wave, but not a sound wave. Here's a quote "They then had to multiply the wavelengths of the sound by roughly 10 billion billion"

So lets say we hear something that's 250hz, it has a wave length of 1.36m. Divide that by 10 billion billion (1*10^19) and we get 1.36*10^-19m. That's not audible.
