Black Hole Idea

Hi Everyone!
I seem to remember a post from a while back in which someone put forth
the idea that a Black Hole could be thought of as a Perfect Resonator in
that it would resonate at all Frequencies and absorb all energy. I think I
may have thought of a way for this to be possible.
Imagine a sound source which will resonate at its fundamental resonance.
Like, if we have a closed tube full of air at 1atm pressure. If the tube is
approximately 1100 feet long, the resonance of the air in the tube would be
1Hz. If a strong enough 1Hz signal is somehow coupled to cause the air in
the tube to vibrate, the air will display its non-linear properties and will
generate harmonics of the fundamental (i.e., 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10Hz, etc.)
If we had a low enough fundamental resonance, with a strong enough
signal, and non-linearity in the transmission medium, we could cause
mulitple vibratory response in the medium. So if we can for one moment
reflect on what the power of a black hole vibrating itself would be if
converted to MEASURABLE acoustic energy, it would probably be enough to
cause vibrations at a great number of frequencies, causing absorption of all
the given frequencies.It is even possible taht because we are dealing with
the harmonics, there might be certain frequencies that might not be radiated
or absorbed by the black hole. Maybe then a special kind of probe could be
outfitted with some kind of transducer which could cause the probe to
vibrate at one or more of the "safe" frequencies and allow the probe to pass
through the singularity and escape with data about the inside.
