Software converts vibrations in the Sun's surface into music

The sun's 'voice' has been captured by scientists for the first time. 

Researchers have captured the movement of the sun’s atmosphere, which produces a sound similar to howling winds on Earth.

Millions of different vibrations in the sun's surface create variations in its hot mixture of gases - known a plasma - that act just like the winds on Earth.

They create very low frequency acoustic waves which, like a musical instrument, support a number of rhythm modes, also commonly known as harmonics. 

With the help of musical experts, a group of scientists have sped these vibrations up to higher frequencies to create the sun's other-worldly tunes.

The team, from the Sonification of Solar Harmonics (SoSH) Project, say it produces bass notes thousands of times deeper than a human ear can hear.

HOW DID THEY FIND THE SUN'S 'VOICE'?

Researchers from the Sonification of Solar Harmonics (SoSH) Project, produces bass notes thousands of times deeper than a human ear can hear.

They found that the sun's surface was moving up and down with a cycle of about five minutes - creating a sound wave of 0.003 hertz.

As human's hearing range starts from 20hz - scientists teamed up with music experts to create a sonification software tool to speed it up. 

The data they used was sounds that they captured from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory's MDI and HMI missions.

The study of acoustic waves inside the sun is called helioseismology.

Turbulent convection, or boiling near the surface makes sound waves, with frequencies that resonate from the harmonics.

Just as the frequency of a plucked guitar string gets higher with more tension and lower with greater thickness, the frequencies of the sun's harmonics enabled the team to get the data from the solar interior, such as its pressure and density. 

'As an alternative to visualisation, sonification invites us to apply our extensive experience of sound waves in natural settings to the interpretation of data,' said a spokesman.

'Especially in the case of data that is already acoustic in nature, we might expect listening to reveal relationships that have not been discovered before.

'The fact is that we have no idea what might be audible in the data because, although we have studied it for decades, we have never
