Scientists have captured the Sun's 'voice' for the first time

The sun's 'voice' has been captured by scientists for the first time.



Researchers have captured the movement of the sun’s atmosphere, which produces a sound similar to howling winds on Earth.



Millions of different vibrations in the sun's surface create variations in its hot mixture of gases - known a plasma - that act just like the winds on Earth.



They create very low frequency acoustic waves which, like a musical instrument, support a number of rhythm modes, also commonly known as harmonics.



With the help of musical experts, a group of scientists have sped these vibrations up to higher frequencies to create the sun's other-worldly tunes.



The team, from the Sonification of Solar Harmonics (SoSH) Project, say it produces bass notes thousands of times deeper than a human ear can hear.
