聞こえないのなく, while in theory grammatically possible, is about as awkward as it gets.

If you wanted a space opera it would have to be 宇宙に泣く頃に
My guess is the title will be another small, flying animal, since his previous two are cicada and seagull, and to fit with 鳴く
He could go with something abstract, such as "When the Stars Cry". Does that work, or can't stars qualify as small flying animals?

Do we have a source for this, or is it just fans' assumptions?
