Comment on A man who used music to try to lure aliens to earth (2020)parent

Our signals are so weak that they will probably fade and get drowned out by the electromagnetic noise of interstellar space. We can communicate with our probes only because we use directional signals and we pretty much know what to look for on the receiving end. If aliens manage to pick those up, then their probes would already be like < 1ly away, and they would have noticed us long ago by different means.

The intentional signals are a different story though.
