@UNDINALSONGS It's not vacuum. Solid rocket boosters are separated at around 44.5 kilometers. There's plenty of gas there, though you couldn't breathe it as it's at a quite low pressure and low in oxygen.
Also, the microphone is probably picking mechanic vibrations, too. The whole shuttle vibrates heavily during launch.

totally amaziing

@UNDINALSONGS It was never outside of our atmosphere
-
Wow, could be one of youtube's most cool videos.
You can see that on 45km there is quite some air to spread sound (completely surreal!) and create the resistance but the sky is completely black and "spacey".
Pity there is a skip at 4.02.

no no and again no. Reentry heating is when Shuttle is entering atmosphere with around 7500-8000 m.sec - here we have relatively low speeds (around 2000)
-
wow - awesome but all those sounds make it very spooky
-
150,000 feet, or 28.4mi (45km)
-
What height did they release?

I thought sound doesn't travel through a vacuum??? Or was it not quite outside our atmosphere???

Sound increases as atmosphere gets dense. sound may be from inside spent booster , not outside.
