I want to know where I can get the radio waves sounds that stars and other space phenomenon cause?

Question

I want to write and record a song based around the rhythm and sound effects of radio waves that are caused by stars, planets any other space phenomenon. I have been watching the film "Contact" and although I realise that this is obviously fiction, do stars and such actually create radio waves and static that has a repeating, uniform pattern?

If they do, where can I get recordings of these space static radio wave patterns?

Answer 1

Hi. Pulsars emit radio waves at a very consistent (read that as boring to listen to) rate. Here is a sound search link. http://www.findsounds.com/
The Voyager recorded the passing of the solar wind, a much more interesting sound. Try a search. Good luck.

Answer 2

Your fact "if radio waves are purely sound waves" is the place your confusion starts off. Radio waves are actually not sound waves. human beings relate the two because of the fact sound comes out of a "radio", however the radio waves that have been transmitted to that device on your motor vehicle or abode weren't sound - in the event that they have been sound waves then we would hear the music and speaking from each and every radio station interior the international with out wanting a device. Radio waves are transmitted for the period of the air or via wires to the "radio" on your place or your motor vehicle, and that device converts the radio waves to sound we can hear. Radio waves are component of the electromagnetic spectrum, like seen gentle, UV radiation, infrared radiation, xrays, and microwaves.

Answer 3

Try seti.com or thebigear.com. There is no rhythm in static. It sounds pretty much like TV or radio on a non-reception channel.
No. None have been heard yet.

Answer 4

You can get recording of the radio signals put out by Jupiter (I think you can get there from Jupiter's wikipedia page). Also, you can hear meteorites striking the atmosphere during showers in the radio bands - you might want to look for that as well.

Answer 5

This probably isn't an answer, but I read somewhere that the sound from a black hole is like 100 or so octaves below middle C. Can you imagine? I'm not sure that can even be heard, like extremely high notes can't be heard.
