Years after ripping stars to shreds, 24 black holes suddenly flared up with radio waves in inexplicable 'burping' bouts. Half of all star-killing black holes may experience the same.
Pretty interesting. Since it’s longer radio waves… maybe matter that falls in at a certain angle orbits very close to the event horizon, and the friction of that matter is able to generate EM waves? The photons maybe also get caught in a shallow angle so it takes them a few years to spin free or it takes a few years for the necessary matter to accumulate in the right orbits?
Sort of a beautiful, tragic image: black holes as the largest cosmic record players, blasting out one final wailing note as the star falls in.

If I read it right, this is like a random, unexpected reprise.
Cosmic record players. I call dibs on the band name
