The chirps heard at the beginning of the interval are waves generated by electrons coming from the shock and moving 'upstream' into the approaching solar wind
the "sound" was recorded by this box

braxton -- was close.
the ship Measured electrostatic and electromagnetic components of plasma waves in three dimensions

the mag field generated "upper hybrid waves" that translated into the sound we hear online.
the experiment also recorded radio waves though.
