I have to admit that I had never thought about this one. We love our favorite artists here on the Earth to listen to, but what say, Fleetwood Mac would like to sound on Mars (front of Mick Fleetwood head of exploding ALA "Total Recall")? Finally, we are with different atmospheric temperature, density and pressure to do. Nothing would be quite the same.
It turns out, have done already pretty much everything short of actually organs in the space physicist Andi Petculescu and acoustics Professor Tim Leighton rays. Eager to know the sounds of the other worlds, to the the duo existing atmospheric data create a computer model of how the atmosphere on Mars, Venus and Saturn Titan moon. Then they took pictures of "Toccata and Fugue in D minor" Earth and fluid developed the audio with the dynamics correspond to a strange land.
The MP3s for Earth, Titan, Venus and Mars are here connected from Petculescu's website of the project. Oh, and public radio International has a short audio story on the subject which you can listen right here back in 2008. Here is what had to say Leighton about everything:
"The atmosphere on Venus the pitch shifts to d dramatically (by minor, F minor), make the children, while the atmosphere of Mars and Titan transpose the music down sound like Smurfs (minor keys of G-sharp and FIS in c minor, or)", my 10 - years old daughter transform voice of those a large adults. However, during the sound on titanium even better the atmosphere is the sound as on the Earth, absorbed on Mars so much so that almost nothing is audible, if you are only 20 meters from the organ. The calculations show what the instrument in different places in open - "air" - would sound concert halls on different planets. "One thing would not ensure that-you sell many tickets on Mars!"
Why is one of this matter? Because the more we understand the acoustic properties of the other worlds, the better we build microphones will try their sounds. And the more we know about the extraterrestrial acoustics, the more the better we able, they analyze and learn more about these environments.
