Sounds from outer space are weird, if not downright spooky.
Be ready for a goosebump or two as you feast your ears on some of the greatest sounds gathered during the exploration of the Saturnian system.
To play the sounds and for more information about them, click on the links below.
Pretty darn cool..

Last one sounds like Forbidden Planet. Is this a hoax?

Would Nasa lie? :-)
The 3rd one sounds like something out of Tron... I give the 5th one 2 thumbs up..
Similar sounds come from the bathroom in the early morning.
Maybe Sun Ra was onto something?
This is awesome. It sounds like the stuff I hear on the late night ‘Echoes” radio show.
I suppose these audio recordings are in the public domain since they result from taxpayer funding. It wouldn’t surprise me if some alternative musician used these audio files as the foundation of a ‘New Age’ symphony. Heck, maybe I will....
I keep expecting to hear, “I buried Paul”.
The fifth one was awesome. wonder if musicians are allowed to sample that stuff. Sounds like something off Pink Floyd or Coldplay.
they are pretty spacy..
New Age,
yeahh,,
may be something there inspiration-wise
I was half-expecting one of those YouTube gags, where it says “turn up your volume” and someone flashes a ghost pic and screams at you!
The second recording sounds like it could be an Atari racing game. The last one was very cool. Would make a great sci-fi movie soundtrack.
I like the Triumph 750 revving up gradually or was it a
Norton? ;-)
Glad we’re getting some cosmic music as a return for all that stuff we shot off into the solar system...

Oh no, not me,,
No sir ree,, last thing we want to do at FR is lose a Monthly Donor doing something like that. ;-)
“Bizarre Sounds of Saturns Radio Emission “
This one sounds like a guitar effects ring modulator.
Cool. BMFLR.
This might interest you.

now that you mentioned that and it sunk in, I hear ya.. lol
Now, that's just damn funny ........
If I were from Birmingham, Ala., I would probably have said I was from Saturn, too. HehHehHehHeh (See, groing up here in Ga., we loved making 'Alabama' jokes!)
I gotta wait until I get to the office to hear them. I’m sure I’ll find them highly interesting.
of course they are spacy...duh they are from space
Try running multiple clips at a time and get the spacy effect..

That’s the first thing that I thought. Forbidden Planet exactly????
Sun Ra! Links to audio samplers of two albums:

Sun Song:
Yeah I remember Indy 500 on my Atari 2600 had sounds like that.
I think that only happens in the movies.
This is radio waves I presume, synthesized into sound.

That was awesome. Imagine the weirdest sounds ever from 1950’s Sci Fi movies...those are the sounds that Saturn makes.
What you get when the space probes act like a stylus on Saturn’s rings...
groing? And this is why it's so easy for us Alabamians to make jokes about Georgia. ;)
Oh great, now I’ve got that last one repeating in my brain brain brain brainbrai...
Remarkable stuff. Thanks for posting.

This is BS. "Radio" emissions are not audible (to humans).
ML/NJ
(((I keep expecting to hear, I buried Paul.)))
Actually, that would be “cranberry sauce”. :-D
Okay, no one laugh, I’m being dense. What cause and effect would make these radio waves sound like this, and...what do OURS sound like?
You and I are on the same wavelength... I thought exactly the same thing...
Well I heard some scientists got together and decided Pluto no longer meets the definition of a planet anymore. It’s now an asteroid and only has a number now. True story.

If you want on or off the Electric Universe Ping List, Freepmail me.

I seriously checked to make sure of the URL. It sounds exactly as if it were lifted from the soundtrack. I’m expecting Robby to drive up any moment.
