    EARTHSONG: A NASA spacecraft has recorded audio-frequency radio emissions coming from Earth. Some say the signals sound like whales; others liken them to the chirping of prairie dogs. What do you think? [audio] [

    Please give the audio a listen, it's awesome.

    How can 'audio-frequency' signals travel through a vacuum? That said, there are myriad sources of electromagnetic 'noise' one could think of...

    Article makes it clear this is electro-magnetic radiation between 0 and 10kHz that has been digitally sampled and converted to an audio signal.

    Sounds like every radio I ever tuned into Radio Luxembourg - not sure if that was just the early pop music or meandering signals from near space!
