All astronauts going to the Moon all had strange tales to tell like Apollo 11 kept telling Houston that their stage of their Saturn V rocket kept following them, but Houston kept telling them that part of their rocket was 6,000 miles away.
But one of the strangest was Apollo 10 when it went behind the moon to the dark side.
Eugene Cernan and John Young kept complaining to Houston that their Apollo was filled with the most creepiest noise sounds.
Not fully explained today, but chalked off as simple VHF radio interference.
One can Google these actual sounds if interested.

The radio interference angle seems fair, although one might wonder why the eery, 'space music like' sounds seem concentrated in 1 hour time window while Apollo 10 loses communication with Houston, passing across the Moon's far side. And this stuff gets recorded, clearly intriguing these astronauts throughout that hour. They can't figure it, in spite of having been around the block: intimately familiar with space and the craft they travel in. At your suggestion I googled it and found this nice link. with a "snippet" of the sounds in the embedded vid. “Boy, that sure is weird music.”
“We’re going to have to find out about that. Nobody will believe us.”
“Yes. It’s a whistling, you know, like an outer-space-type thing.”

Michael Collins mentions this phenomena in his book 'Carrying the fire'.
