Once Starliner returns to Earth, it will no doubt be investigated to track down the source of the noises.
If a malfunction indeed caused the sonar-like sounds, it could be very important for NASA to learn the severity of it, what consequences it could have caused, and how to avoid it in the future.
Fortunately for Williams and Wilmore, the anomaly was detected before it became something they had to worry about jeopardizing their return home. Whatever is causing the Starliner to emit these strange noises creates a risk, and with how much can go wrong in space, any new risk is something to be taken seriously.
