To create an extremely loud sound or commotion.
خلفية ثقافية
Iranians love poetry and often use high-register, poetic language in everyday complaints. Using 'Falak' (the sky) makes a simple complaint about noise sound more expressive and traditional. In the Shahnameh (Book of Kings), this imagery is used to describe the sound of thousands of horses and the clashing of armies. It was a way to show the scale of epic battles. On Iranian Instagram/Twitter, you'll see this phrase used for 'trending' topics. If a video goes viral, people say its sound 'deafened the sky.' During Muharram, the sound of large drums (Dammām) is often described with this idiom to show the intensity of the mourning.
Use it for Fame
Remember you can use this for a person's reputation, not just noise. 'His fame deafened the sky' is a great way to say someone is a superstar.
Don't forget 'Ra'
Without 'ra', the sentence sounds like 'The ear of the sky deafened' (as if the sky was the one doing the deafening).
