Just one small hitch: if there was an atmosphere in space dense enough to carry sound, the earth would burn up in minutes.

And apparently it would be quite loud during the burning!

Well yeah, I wouldn’t expect people and other animals to be quiet while the entire planet is burning up.

The planet could simply exist further back from the sun where the R^2 property renders the energy more diffuse.

I’m not sure what kind of jack hammer you’ve used, but they sound nothing like Tinnitus.

Nah. It starts out like THUD! THUD! and then slowly after a couple minutes of warming up, that goes all muffled and it becomes that familiar high-pitched ringing noise.

Mine is more of a mixture of static and a hum. Maybe what tingly would sound like.

Evolution would say: nope. And the surviving class would be deaf. No one is able to accept a permanent jackhammer.

Evolution might just block out certain frequencies. No need to go completely deaf.

Or evolve the ability to echolocate with the reflections of the background noise. Like our eyes does with light.
