From a speaker! That changes the concern considerably. Clickbait.

Yeeessss... I mean, no other speakers on the station are emitting "strange noises," and, frankly, I'd be concerned about any more faults in a craft that's got an already pretty long list.

So, sure: having a radio malfunction, by itself, is pretty low on the shit-your-pants broken equipment list, but at some point the sheer volume of malfunctions is concerning.

I'm glad the team is able to hitch a ride back on a more reliable craft, and I'll bet they are, too.
