I know Labrinth produced Pass Out but when I first heard โEarthquakeโ I couldnโt believe wtf was going on. That sounded otherworldly on big speakers at the time
(My theory) The reason for this scene was because mike finally found a road (how hopper said) in which he can accept eleven being gone. He was able to create the story at the end due to the sound and believe sheโs out there and found peace.
mike is always right, so obviously his theory is true. they specifically put this in of him putting 1 and 1 together. that scene is not here because he is actually wrong and she is dead making the ending even worse
