Space Audio
These are the original sounds of space from plasma wave measurements, featuring audio synched with animated spectrograms.
This currently is a volunteer effort by one member of the radio and plasma wave research team at The University of Iowa. I'm a computer guy, not a scientist. I proudly share the credit, but the mistakes are all mine.
To be absolutely clear: I do not officially represent my research group, The University of Iowa, or NASA. These are unfunded public outreach efforts and opinions of one individual. Further, these are not scientific findings. Reliable science is communicated through peer-reviewed publications only.

This is the 40th anniversary of the historic #Voyager 2 encounter with the planet #Uranus. This is the complete set of #SpaceAudio signals we received. Note that most of the "data frames" are short, due to the reduced telemetry bandwidth compared with the Jupiter and Saturn encounters.

Forty-five years ago, #Voyager 1 flew past Saturn and our PWS instrument recorded these #SpaceAudio signals.

I've mentioned the equipment in use at UIowa back during the Voyager Jupiter and Saturn encounters in a couple of answers to comments on my recent videos. These are the Univac 418-II and 418-III we used at the time (and I tended as a student computer operator).

Heads up! There's a 12-hour video in the pipeline. It's Voyager 1 waveform data for the entire day of March 1, 1979, four days prior to closest approach to Jupiter. Some of you are fans of long stretches of boring data, but as an aid to those looking for the exciting bits, refer to this plot. For the science-curious among you, note the trajectory labels showing the distance from Jupiter in Jupiter radii, System-III longitude, magnetic latitude, local time in hours, and the Io phase angle. (I apologize for the unfortunate aspect ratio; that's what YouTube required.)
The main exciting event of the day actually occurs between 12:26 and 12:27. Can you guess what it is?

I'm sure I've heard chorus waves that sound just like a flock of turkeys. This isn't quite it, but you can imagine these might be, you know, *space* turkeys . . . Happy #Thanksgiving!
