Listen to this: What are these sounds from Nasa's voyager?

[susan1035]

Listen to the sounds from Nasa's voyager probe. It was <br />recorded from Jupiter. What do you think of it? <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br /><br /><br />http://space.hqforums.com/vp13.html

hi Susan<br /><br />Welcome to SDC. I tried to sign up for your forum, something didn't work.

Music of Sun.Very nice.In future ETs may know sound of solar system.

Years ago, Fiorella Terenzi used a Synclavier to translate the "music of the cosmos". She was also a voluptuous creature, really played the sexy part well. <br /><br />(The Synclavier is still my Weapon of Musical Distinction - mine is 23 years old now - eek!) <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font size="2" color="#ff0000"><em><strong>I'm a recovering optimist - things could be better.</strong></em></font> </p> </div>

I like to see her.

Thank you all.<br /><br />I agree the sounds are beautiful.<br /><br />Brellis: Really? What's wrong then? It seems fine to me. It's not exactly my forum but I do know the site admin.

Good to hear that Brellis. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br /><br />Anyway, I found a new interesting clip from the net. I know this sounds freaky but these people say that there is speech pattern in this sound file. What good about it is that you can download it from NASA yourself and you be the judge. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> Also, apparently NASA says in a comment they're intrigued about it and just do not know what it is.<br /><br /><br />Here is the clip: http://space.hqforums.com/vp15.html

 

[3488]

That is just BIZZARE <img src="/images/icons/crazy.gif" />, but really, very interesting.<br /><br />It does sound like a speech pattern, but obviously must be some weird interaction<br />between the rings & the magnetosphere.<br /><br />Andrew Brown. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080">"I suddenly noticed an anomaly to the left of Io, just off the rim of that world.

[usn_skwerl]

very amazing!!<br /><br />but the "speech pattern" is a little creepy on headphones. i got goosebumps listening to it, though. <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

 

[CalliArcale]

I would guess it's from the plasma wave instrument. The Cassini team have transformed recordings from that instrument into sound before. It's basically radio waves. Turning it into audible sound gives a new way of analyzing it, because it's amazing what you can pick up with your ears that you wouldn't notice if you looked at it as a graph. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em>  -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>

 

[a_lost_packet_]

I didn't detect any speech patterns. However, the altered pitch makes it sound like a distortion box being routed through a "throat tube." A throat tube is a musical instrument popular in the seventies and still used, here and there, today.<br /><br />IMO, that's why people think it resembles "speech." It just mimics some of the distortions of something they've heard before. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <font size="1">I put on my robe and wizard hat...</font> </div>

 

[brellis]

I agree with a_l_p. It can be very misleading to attribute aspects of intelligence or life-like speech to something that was "rendered" using a manmade device.<br /><br />I again refer you to Fiorella Terenzi's stuff. Listen to it. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font size="2" color="#ff0000"><em><strong>I'm a recovering optimist - things could be better.</strong></em></font> </p> </div>

 

[CalliArcale]

OT: Fiorella Terenzi is awesome. She sings well too. I've got the soundtrack to "Gate to the Mind's Eye", a compilation of CGI clips set to music made a number of years ago when CGI was still relatively novel. The soundtrack is by Thomas Dolby, but Terenzi sings a couple of songs: NEO (which contains a few annoying factual errors but is otherwise fun) and Quantum Mechanic. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#666699"><em>"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly . . . timey wimey . . . stuff."</em>  -- The Tenth Doctor, "Blink"</font></p> </div>
