Auroral chorus

Auroral chorus

An auroral chorus is a series of random chirps, whistles, and quasi-musical sounds created by the electromagnetic effects of auroras in very low broadcast frequencies.

It is presumed that the same effects can be created by the auroras of Jupiter and Saturn and any other world which possesses an atmosphere capable of creating auroras. In 2002, Cassini recorded an auroral chorus from Saturn [http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/cassini/multimedia/pia07966.html] .
