The Johns Hopkins APL team, working with the Parker Solar Probe, have processed their data to reveal the pressure wave within the plasma within the Solar Winds. If you were able to survive in the harsh environment explored by the Parker Solar Probe, you wouldn’t be able to hear this with your ears – the solar wind is simply far too thin – but the Parker’s sensors are sensitive enough to catch the whistling and humming of our Sun.

In the audio files, you’re hearing a processed version of the pressure waves in the hot, charged plasma that makes up the solar corona.
