Space Sounds - Sound of the Big Bang | It's Okay To Be Smart | PBS Digital Studios
The very first radiation to escape after the Big Bang has been traveling outward for 13.8 billion years. This cosmic microwave background has been literally stretched over time, it's frequency and temperature lowering as the universe, and everything in it, expands.
John G. Cramer from the University of Washington took the measurement data of the cosmic microwave background from ESA's Planck space telescope and converted the energy frequencies of the first 760,000 years of the universe into audible sound. He had to multiply it by 10^26 so we could hear it!

Actual Sound of Space - NASA Voyager Recordings
The Nasa Voyager recording of Earth (Voice of Earth), you can hear the sun frequency reverberating through the bass frequencies, this one seems to be different to the other short nasa voyager recordings of earth that I have found here on youtube since they sound so much stranger in comparison and I just decided to post this one since I couldn't find it here. This is basically cosmic background radiation, akin to what can be seen as "static" on analog television and am/fm radio, remnants of the big bang. Enjoy the grounding sounds of earth
This is the Sound of the Sun.
You're hearing sound of a CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) and afterwards calming.
Jupiter sounds - NASA-Voyager recording
From an original CD: JUPITER NASA-VOYAGER SPACE SOUNDS (1990) BRAIN/MIND Research
Fascinating recording of Jupiter sounds (electromagnetic "voices") by NASA-Voyager. The complex interactions of charged electromagnetic particles from the solar wind , planetary magnetosphere etc. create vibration "soundscapes". It sounds very interesting, even scary.
Jupiter is mostly composed of hydrogen and helium. The entire planet is made of gas, with no solid surface under the atmosphere. The pressures and temperatures deep in Jupiter are so high that gases form a gradual transition into liquids which are gradually compressed into a metallic "plasma" in which the molecules have been stripped of their outer electrons. The winds of Jupiter are a thousand metres per second relative to the rotating interior. Jupiter's magnetic field is four thousand times stronger than Earth's, and is tipped by 11° degrees of axis spin. This causes the magnetic field to wobble, which has a profound effect on trapped electronically charged particles. This plasma of charged particles is accelerated beyond the magnetosphere of Jupiter to speeds of tens of thousands of kilometres per second. It is these magnetic particle vibrations which generate some of the sound you hear on this recording.
The Sounds of the Universe - Professor Carolin Crawford
In space no-one can hear you scream... but it is still a noisy Universe. We are familiar with the many stunning images of space, but these are only part of the whole human experience. This lecture takes a new approach to appreciating the Universe, through the vehicle of sound. Once we understand how sound is propagated, we can look at the how and where it can exist in space. We examine how sound can be a diagnostic of cosmic phenomena (such as the song of the Sun and distant stars), the way it can carry energy across vast volumes of space (away from a black hole humming in B♭), how it can be a useful way to illustrate processes in astronomy (such as the rapid spin of pulsars, and other more local radio emissions) and how it is ultimately responsible for the growth of all structure we see today in the cosmos.
Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download from our website.
