Some space weather phenomena are accompanied by audio recordings. Here are a few of the more interesting ones! Earth Sounds - The Earth is a noisy source of radio waves at very low frequency. Some of these sounds such as whistlers have been known for over 100 years and are still being studied today. Other sounds, such as Dawn Chorus, Saucers and Auroral Kilometric Radiation have only been discovered since the 1950's. The recordings at this web site give you some idea of what these phenomena sound like, and perhaps tweak your curiosity to study them more. Why not join the thousands of high schools across North America who are members of the Inspire Program Sun Sounds - The sun rings like bell, although its sound is 42,000 slower than what the human ear can hear. These recordings were produced by the Stanford Solar Center using measurements of the sun's surface, and converting the movements into acoustic pressure waves, and then speeded up so the ear can hear the changes Solar Storm Sounds - On October 28 and November 4, 2003 the Sun produced two powerful flares. The radio energy from these flares, called Type III Bursts, were recorded half-way across the solar system by the Cassini space probe near Saturn.
