Mmm, you're right, but so am I about plugging a new band.
They didn't actually detect the 'soundwave' only the excited gasses in between.
Calling it a sound wave is really stretching it. True, they have detected the compression and rarefaction of gasses, but sound is normally thought of as what we can hear, surely this is subsonic.
According to spellcheckers link, this was caused by something that happened a while ago, so it can't be humming either.
Another piece of science mangled for mass consumption.
