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.
