Sūta Gosvāmī said: O brāhmaṇa, first the subtle vibration of transcendental sound appeared from the sky of the heart of the most elevated Lord Brahmā, whose mind was perfectly fixed in spiritual realization. One can perceive this subtle vibration when one stops all external hearing.
Purport
Because Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is the supreme Vedic literature, the sages headed by Śaunaka desired to trace out its source.

Translation
Sūta Gosvāmī said: O brāhmaṇa! First, the nāda appeared from the ether in the heart of Lord Brahmā, whose mind was perfectly fixed in spiritual realization. One can perceive this subtle vibration when one stops up the ears.
In order to correctly define the fruit of the tree of the Vedas, he briefly describes the branches of the Vedas. First he describes how the Vedas appeared. Nāda appeared from the ether in the heart of Brahmā. This sound can be conjectured by a person if he blocks the ears.
