NASA observations reveal unreal soundscapes from the space environment around Earth
Although space is thought to be devoid of matter and silent, the space environment around the Earth contains high energy particles in magnetic and electric fields. The particles are continuously in a violent storm of electromagnetic waves, known as plasma waves. Just like the waves of the ocean, these plasma waves create a sound that can be captured with the right tools. The sounds are out of this world, and have different characteristics depending on the region of the magnetosphere they are recorded in.
