In radio. Not real noise that you can hear, as northern lights are electrophysical interaction between the upper atmosphere and the solar wind, and the atoms there get ionized.
This activity releases radio waves that can impede radio communications, and the static can be heard on a radio. But you do need a radio to hear that noise.

None that I ever heard. They do cause some noises on a radio. Mostly when you were between established stations.
We lived in Fairbanks, AK for three years. During that time I have been outside with the lights 75 - 100 times. During winter it is an almost nightly event. It beats anything you will see in Las Vegas.

you will possibly be perplexing northern lights with Saint Elmo's fire, the latter of that's a organic atmospheric corona discharge sometime considered on deliver masts. It crackles because of the fact its breaking down the air, which produces stress waves (an acoustic disturbance).

I seriously doubt it. They occur in the upper stratosphere. There's not that much air up there to produce any sound.

Yes I think. I think u hear it because the air is so cold which makes it very dense and thus carries The sound so well.

No.
If it's just the lights you are discussing, that's just the refraction of light.
