Researchers from the Electric and Magnetic Field Instrument Suite and Integrated Science (EMFISIS) team at the University of Iowa have released a new recording of an intriguing and well-known phenomenon known as “chorus,” made on Sept. 5, 2012. The Waves tri-axial search coil magnetometer and receiver of EMFISIS captured several notable peak radio wave events in the magnetosphere that surrounds the Earth. The radio waves, which are at frequencies that are audible to the human ear, are emitted by the energetic particles in the Earth’s magnetosphere.

“People have known about chorus for decades,” says EMFISIS principal investigator Craig Kletzing, of the University of Iowa. “Radio receivers are used to pick it up, and it sounds a lot like birds chirping. It was often more easily picked up in the mornings, which along with the chirping sound is why it’s sometimes referred to as ‘dawn chorus.’”



Launched on Aug. 30, 2012, RBSP is part of NASA's Living With a Star Program to explore aspects of the connected sun-Earth system that directly affect life and society. LWS is managed by the agency's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. APL built the RBSP spacecraft and will manage the mission for NASA.

2. I have some interesting recordings from

global clusters, jupiter, saturn etc. which I saved into my iTunes. Some are really creepy sounding, earth is the most pleasant of all.

4. okay...

now i just fell into the rabbitt hole looking for more of these wonderful noises... been 'spacing' out for about 15 mins now!

seriously, these are the prettiest, I also heard one that was a lot of clicking and pops, chirps...but this sounds way more like a song

What a lovely way to start the day! thanks


here's a Nasa one -

here's an amateur radiohead - watch out though, this guy's website is a time sucker! (you may get lost, lol)

5. The earth taught the whales to sing.

6. The Screech Owls outside my window sang along

It does indeed sound like whales, doesn't it?....... I am going to turn up the volume and see if the Screech Owls begin calling again.

8. My cat was sitting on my lap when I clicked on this video ......

totally freaked him out. He got all wide eyed with ears twitching, then got up and ran off. Don't know where he is now. Makes me wonder what he heard!

Ah, he's back now, must not have been too bad....right?.......RIGHT?

9. My two dogs raised their heads and were very calm and interested in the sound.
