Sounds of Saturn

Here is a very interesting curiosity I stumbled upon at Space.com.

NASA/JPL have recorded some naturally occuring radio frequency emissions from Saturn. When the frequency is downshifted to a range detectable by our ears, and the recording is sped up, this is what it sounds like...

Now listen to this sample of music from the 1950's science fiction classic "Forbidden Planet". Listen to the whole thing, its only 5 minutes long. Some sections sound almost identical to the Saturn recordings..
Amazing.

Wow, thats pretty cool. Sounds funky but very eerie. Its doing funny things to my ears as well lol cant listen to the Forbidden Planet sound track as its on youtube =[

I wonder how earth and the sun sound like

wow that is pretty frickin scary sounds coming from saturn. and thats also weird that a science fiction movie has the same sounds and it was ma de 50 years ago..

I'd wager a lot of natural radio sources sound somewhat like Forbidden Planet stuff. Though you can't rule out that someone was "listening" to Saturn at that early date and not sharing his/her findings except with Hollywood execs.

That was really good. Loved it.

I wish we had sound with our avatars, because that would go so well with mine.

These are the little treasures that come to ATS that make some of the really dumb posts worth wading through. (You all know the threads I mean. )

Great find darkbluesky.
